New Druid Forms! (Night Elf Cat)
The final installment has arrived! Ladies and gentlemen, behold the new
Night Elf Cat
models!
These are pretty subtle, actually. They really do look like the original models—only, you know, better in every way.
As usual you can click on the "Original" button to see the full size version. Looks like these are the last ones we get—if there are changes to Tree of Life or Moonkin forms, they're not being included in the preview.
Blizzard's announcement follows after the break:
Live
New Druid Forms! (Tauren Cat)
To keep you amused while your server is down, Blizzard has posted the new
Tauren Cat
forms today!
These are my favorites yet. They genuinely look like Taurens in cat form, not just like animals with beads and facepaint.
As usual you can click on the "Original" button to see the full size version.

Firefox Persona for Wowhead
Unlike most of my blogs, this one is going to be very short, for all I bring after almost a week of no Internet, is just news about something little I created.
If you use Firefox, you might have noticed that recently a new feature was released -
Personas
. Personas are like small skins for your Firefox browser - they only change the header (the area where all the buttons are, along with the search and address bars) and footer (the little area on the very bottom of your Mozilla). You only need to
Download + Install
the plug-in, and then you are free to use any Persona from the
Gallery
by simply clicking on it. No restart, no installation needed.
Well, now that I have familiarized you with this feature, here is the news - I have made a little (and very simple!) Persona for Wowhead.

MMOUI - Minion in Beta
A few weeks ago
WoWInterface
announced a project called MMOUI Minion. The Minion was to be a small and light program that keeps track on your addons, updates them, allows you to download new ones, and pretty much makes your life easier. For more details, check
this blog
.
Now the beta version of the Minion is out! Continue reading to see what
Cairenn
and the team have to say.

New Druid Forms! (Night Elf Bear)
Continuing the trend, Blizzard release the new artwork for the
Night Elf Bear
forms today!
I like the work on these, the eyes are very interesting and the claws look especially dangerous.
Once again you can click on the "Original" button to see the full size version.
Blizzard's announcement follows after the break:

New Druid Forms! (Tauren Bear)
So Blizzard has just announced that they are finally updating the models for some of the druid forms!
These graphical updates will be released in the next major content patch, including separate updates for both night elf and tauren, and both bear and cat forms. Blizzard is releasing the information in four installments, and this is the first:
Tauren Bear Form
!
Just click on the image to see. For the original full-size version, click on the "Original" button in the lightbox.
So what do you guys think? Is it gorgeous, is it lame? Is it the update druids were waiting for, or is it totally missing the point? Thoughts and opinions are welcome!

Introducing MMOUI Minion!
So our friends at
WoWInterface
are rolling out a
very
exciting new project.
It's called
MMOUI Minion
, and it's exactly what we've always wanted from an AddOn site—a simple, easy to use client that lets you manage your addons, update them all with a single click (or update them automatically when new versions come out), and does it all with the full permission of the authors and the sites involved—without gimping your features
or
your download speeds.
Cairenn
(who I'm a big fan of) and the team over there are just about to enter open beta, and they're looking for input from the Wowhead community. I'm looking forward to collecting a lot of feedback over here to give them—don't you guys let me down. ;)
We’ve got an FAQ for you guys here after the break (in addition to the more complete FAQ at WoWInterface
here
), as well as a couple of juicy screenshots after the break!

Late Post! (Interview with Malgayne)
So I did this a while ago, and I could have SWORN I posted about it, but apparently I didn't—so now I'm linking you to some VERY old news. But I would still be remiss if I didn't link you, no matter how embarrassed I am, so here we go:
I've recently done an interview for a WoW video podcast called
Sanctum
over at
Gamefire
. For those of you who are interested in hearing my lovely voice as I drone on and on about how cool Wowhead is—and occasionally type really loudly into the microphone—the link is here:

The Sanctum podcast is nearly three weeks old now, so feel free to check up on them there, and see how the show has evolved due to my evil influence. Feel free to leave your comments and questions here. :)

ZAM Rolls Out 'Free Realms' Site
So I know it's not always kosher to post non-WoW-related news up here, but I thought I would take the time to mention this one, because I'm personally kind of excited about this game.
For those of you who haven't heard yet, it's called
Free Realms
, and it's the most recent game from Sony Online Entertainment—the makers of the Everquest series, among several others. Free Realms is one of the first forays by a major US MMO publisher into the free-to-play space, and it actually looks pretty interesting. For once, here's a brand new major MMO that's NOT just trying to do the WoW thing in a different way—and since it's free, and it downloads and installs remarkably quickly, there's really no reason NOT to try it out. :)
Of course, when an awesome new game comes out, the folks here at the
ZAM Network
have to cover it, so ZAM has just rolled out it's brand new
Free Realms
site!
