WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Lorebook Update
The official lorebook for Wrath of the Lich King has been updated. This time readers find out about The Nexus:
The blue Dragon Aspect, Malygos, was charged ages ago by the titans as the guardian of magic. More than ten millennia ago, he watched in horror as Deathwing all but wiped out the blue flight. Maddened by grief, Malygos withdrew to his lair and paid little heed to the rest of the world, emerging only when it finally seemed possible to avenge Deathwing’s terrible crime.
Only in recent times did Malygos fully return to his senses. Upon reviving, he quickly assessed the state of magical affairs in Azeroth and reached the grim conclusion that magic was running amok throughout the world. He blamed this dangerous development on the mortal races and their reckless pursuit of magical power.

Invincible vengeance no more
Retribution Paladins continue to take a beating. As much as Ghostcrawler tried to soften the blow in his post, there just isn’t any nice way to go about this — Blizzard is looking for a way to make Divine Shield and Avenging Wrath to be mutually exclusive once again. He says that the combination of both spells contribute to the impression that the spec is overpowered.

Server First Leveling Titles
Hello,
I am hardly a casual player, I multibox 5 accounts, have several 70s, have done NAXX and BT/MH.
However I really feel that all these server first titles for people being first to reach level 80 is promoting unhealthy behavior.
There will be people who skip work or college, who drink cases of energy drinks and play contstantly without sleep in an effort to get one of these rare titles.
What if someone goes into cardiac arrest or something doing this? Don’t believe its possible? This has happened several times in Asia already to players who try to play too long without sleep.
I am also concerned about my investment as an Activision/Blizzard shareholder at the possible negative press or regulation that might be targeted at the company should something like this occur.
Have you guys really thought this through??
There are many other ways to make titles rare and very hard to get without encouraging
