Contrary to Popular Belief, Cataclysm Alpha Still Under NDA
Just to let you guys know, despite the flood of leaked Cataclysm information sweeping the internet, as of now all Cataclysm information is
still under
NDA
.
You know, in case you were wondering why that information wasn't appearing HERE.
The NDA is still in effect and has not changed in any way. We have already clarified this here:
http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=13200617234&pageNo=1&sid=1#1
Unless we clearly state otherwise, please continue to assume the NDA is in place and in full effect.
This is just to let you know that this IS leaked info, and we'll be continuing your regularly scheduled coverage as soon as the NDA drops. :)

Cataclysm: Halls of Origination Preview
The
Halls of Origination
is a new dungeon located in Uldum for level 85 players. Inside this lovely new instance you'll find familiar features from both
奥达曼
and
奥杜尔
but with a new dash of Egyptian style structures and art. As you progress through Uldum you will eventually happen across the infamous explorer Brann Bronzebeard (of course), who will enlist your help exploring these new halls and eventually uncovering the titan's ancient secrets.
You can read the whole preview on the official Cataclysm
website

Starcraft II: Heaven's Devils Audiobook Available Now
We've recently been in touch with Simon & Schuster, who was kind enough to provide us with a peek at the audiobook for

For those of you who are interested, you can take a listen to the first chapter in mp3 format right here on Wowhead!

Battle.net Real ID Friends
Blizzard just announced yet another one of the features the new and improved Battle.net will have. Just earlier today they said that Battle.net will have Facebook integration, and now this.
http://us.battle.net/realid/index.html
Adding your
Real ID
to your Battle.net account will allow you and your friends (who have also entered their IDs and have agreed to be friends with you) to access a number of unique features - real names for friends, cross-game chat, rich presence (additional information about what your friends are doing/playing), broadcasts (short messages to all your friends), and see-all-characters.

This morning Blizzard release a press release that is rather interesting. The new Battle.net, which will be released with the upcoming release of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, will feature

This is not especially surprising—clearly the functionality is intended to make it easy to connect and add friends through Facebook to your Battle.net friends list. According to the press release, this should be popping up on the beta test client in the near future.

April Features Update!
We had so much good stuff in April that we decided to do a
new features recap
a little early—but we've been hard at work since then as well, so I still wanted to do our normal monthly feature recap here. Come check out some of the stuff we've been working on!
We've added a "

There's now a link to the

Dalaran Children's Week Quests Issues
As you may already have noticed, if you have completed the Dalaran
Children's Week
quests that were released last year,
you currently cannot complete them again this year.
An update posted by Bornakk and further clarified by Bashiok states that at this time there is no plan to fix this issue with the quest in time for this Children's Week, and everyone who completed the quest last year will have to wait until the event rolls around again.
This is rather upsetting, I was hoping to complete the Dalaran collection by getting my

An Informal Poll

Icecrown Citadel Raid Buff Increased to 15%
It's been a busy week in the World of Warcraft! With this latest raid reset, the
冰冠堡垒
-specific raid-wide buff has had its effect increased again!
地狱咆哮的战歌
and
乌瑞恩之力
will now increase damage, healing, absorption effects and health by
15%
.
You may remember that the buff was last increased to 10% at the end of last month, up from the 5% it provided when first launched at the beginning of March. Seems our
speculation
was correct, and this latest increase to the buff's effects was applied exactly four weeks later. I guess we can now assume we'll see the buff reach a staggering
20%
on May 25th,
25%
on June 22nd, and
30%
on July 20th.
This buff should definitely help out players trying to down some of the more demanding hard modes in Icecrown Citadel. Personally, I don't think that a lot of Icecrown Citadel's encounters were scaled properly for their intended difficulty level to begin with (ie. 10-man modes being downed without 25-man gear), so hopefully this helps even out the playing ground a bit more. Remember, you still have

X-53 Touring Rocket Available Today
You may recall that Blizzard announced some changes to the Recruit-a-Friend
迅捷斑马
mount reward a little while ago. If you had an unclaimed Zhevra, the announcement said, or if you decided to recruit a friend in the near future, you would have the normal Zhevra reward changed to a spectacular
X-53型观光火箭

Well, the big day is today. As of today, April 27, 2010 (possibly after the maintenance), if you recruit a friend or if you have Zhevras waiting to be assigned to one of you characters, you will start getting the X-53's!
Here is the short post by Zarhym:
Time is running out for those who wish to claim their Zhevra, as the launch of the X-53 Touring Rocket is now scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, April 27! If you’ve fulfilled all of the Recruit-A-Friend requirements necessary to claim a mount now but choose not to claim the Zhevra, you will be able to claim the X-53 Touring Rocket instead once it launches. Sounds like they’re firing it up for a final test run now....

Cataclysm PvE Badge and PvP Point Changes
Blizzard just posted changes to the badge system in
Cataclysm
... they are going to become Hero and Valor points! Basically the PvP point system being applied to PvE raiding.
Hero Points
will be earned from most dungeons (much like
凯旋纹章
) and
Valor Points
will be from high-tier raids (like
寒冰纹章
).
While there will be a maximum cap of Valor Points you can earn each week I personally think this could be one of the better changes to come to the badge/emblem/point system since the introduction of them in The Burning Crusade. So what does everyone think of the changes?
On the PvP side,
Conquest Points
will replace Arena Points as the complement to Honor Points. Personal rating requirements will also be removed from almost all items, including weapons.
You can read all the details in the original blue post, available after the break.

Cataclysm Raid Progression Refinements
Update:
Some clarifications have been added to the bottom of the post.
Another blue post from the blue world of blue Blizzardness descends from the skies - this time it's about how raid progression is going to work in
Cataclysm
.
10- and 25-man raids will share the same lockout.
10- and 25-man raids will share the same loot.
Heroic loot will be, like in Icecrown, just a buffed up version of the Normal loot.
The raid leader will be able to decide between 10-man and 25-man (possibly on a boss-to-boss basis), much like you can now choose between Normal and Heroic mode for a raid.
Since 25-man raids will drop the exact same items as 10-man, to promote people actually going to 25-man raiding, Blizzard is making 10-man encounters drop less loot per player (actual items, badges, gold...). In short, if you can get 25 people, you will get more out of the raid than if you were to go with 10.
Heroic mode for the bosses will be unlocked simply defeating a specific boss as few as (probably) 1-2 times. Limited attempts will likely go away completely, except for rare bosses (e.g. Algal

A Tour of the REAL World of Warcraft - Blizzard's Headquarters
It's midnight here, and I'm still awake, pretending I don't have to be up for gym (and work!) in a matter of hours. Thankfully, tonight my persistence in staying up late breeding Pokémon and browsing the Internet has paid off! I stumbled upon a post on one of my favorite sites of all-time,
