Wrath of the Lich King News

More Algalon Firsts - Since Ensidia scored the World-first Algalon kill nearly two weeks ago, some other guilds have also accomplished the task. For the full story and to see the great loot, check out our blog. Upcoming Mount Changes - A very big announcement came last week from Blizzard. With the release of patch 3.2 regular land mounts will be available to players beginning at level 20 this is down from a level requirement of 30. Epic land mounts and basic flying mounts will also be available beginning at levels 40 and 60 respectively. This means players entering Outlands will be able to fly almost immediately...very handy!

• WoW Art Exhibit on Display at the Laguna Art Museum -
  The Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach, CA is hosting an exhibit
  centered around the art of World of Warcraft. The exhibit entitled WoW: An Emerging Media Phenomenon
  offers up the works of fourteen different artists and their take on the
  world of Azeroth. The museum will have these works on display through
  Oct. 4th, so if you have some extra time to wander over there while
  you're attending BlizzCon we would definitely suggest it! If you are
  not headed to BlizzCon, you can check out some of the artists works here...they are truly amazing!
• More Nerfs in Ulduar
  - Well last week a few bosses in Ulduar were hit with the nerf bat,
  some a little harder than others. The hotfixes, which were applied just
  under a week ago have changed fights from Flame Leviathan to Yoggy
  himself. Continue reading on our blog...
• Warcraft Game Fuel
  - Anyone who has shopped in the soda isle of their favorite store over
  the last week or so has likely noticed the 20 oz. bottles of Mountain
  Dew Game Fuel on the shelves. If you have somehow missed those then the
  in-game Battle-Bot pets have likely caught your eye, either way the WoW
  Game Fuel is here for a limited time and as you can see in the official commercial everyone must choose their side. So pick up a bottle (or two) today.
• New Travel Options Coming with 3.2
  - A few weeks ago we told you about the new zeppelin between Thunder
  Bluff and Orgrimmar which will be in the game with the arrival of patch
  3.2. Now Blizzard has announced that they will also be putting in new
  portals in Stormwind and Orgrimmar both leading to the Stair of Destiny
  next to the Dark Portal. So now not only will you be able to take a
  portal from the Outlands to Stormwind or Orgrimmar but you will also be
  able to port back, hop on your new flying mount (available @ 60) and be
  on your way...easy as pie!
• Comic Corner
  - Here's where you will always find the best WoW-Related comics for the
  week and I have a few for you this week that made me chuckle! The first
  one shows us the return of the Translatoxx and
  the last frame actually made me lol. The next one from NPC pokes a
  little more at the way others see female gamers, it's called Pandering
  and I would suggest you click "next" for a little extra haha. The last
  one for this week is from Awkward Zombie and this is the best one for
  the week. It's called A Thousand Hurtful, Hurtful Words
  and I was soooo lol-ing on this one! Now, in addition to the comic
  strips, I found a video that had my stomach hurting from the excess of
  laughing. It's called Who's The Tank and it does a great job of playing off the old Abbot and Costello skit Who's on First...LOVE it!!
• Good Clean Fun - This was a pretty cool find in my search for WoW news this week. I came across a site called Geeky Clean
  that makes soaps in the shape of or looking like items from games and
  other "geek-type" stuff. I personally like the Fel Stone soap and the
  beta (tester) fish. These are cool gifts for any hygeine conscious geek
  you might know!
