New World of Warcraft Community Site Coming Soon
The official
World of Warcraft Forums
as we know it is coming to an end, starting in early November Blizzard will begin testing the new community site. Included in the new site, much like the
StarCraft II
version, there will be new forums, blogs and even game guides. Following the initial testing period the old forums will be made
Read Only
and eventually completely removed.
You can check out the original announcement by Lylirra after the break!

Deathwing is Coming—and He Is Literally Going To Kill You
I'm reading a blue post from Zarhym right now, and he's giving us a chilling warning of things to come...
Apparently in the period preceding Cataclysm, Deathwing is going to be flying from zone to zone, murdering people. The implication behind the post is that once a day, Deathwing will fly down from the sky in a particular zone, and
incinerate every living creature in the area.
Everyone who is killed this way will earn a Feat of Strength for having been killed by Deathwing! Could it be
Stood in the Fire
? We'll see!
Edit: Bibi from MMO-Champion has posted a
video
of the event!
One of Azeroth’s oldest adversaries will soon tear through the Elemental Plane to reforge the world in flame, but this foe won’t be conducting his reign of terror from the confines of a castle or lair. Deathwing is a destructive force the likes of which adventurers have yet to see in World of Warcraft, and his appetite for devastation can only be satisfied

Cataclysm Beta: Tol Barad Focus Testing with Devs
Blizzard is once again joining players for a match or two, this time in their
focus testing
of
Tol Barad
!
The testing will begin at 4PM PDT (UTC-7) on Wednesday October 27th! They've made some changes since the last time they had a round of testing, including tripling the health pools of siege engines and lowering the damage taken on vehicles before a player hops in for the first time.
If you're around, why not log in to the beta realms and check it out?
Hey Guys,
We have made a number of changes to Tol Barad and are looking to get some good feedback from the beta players. First off, a few of the big changes.
Siege Engine HP tripled to 1.35m.
Tower HP reduced from 180000 to 150000.
Vehicles now protected from 99% of damage until someone hops in the first time.
There’s now a Spiritual Immunity Area Aura given by the Spirit Healers at all GYs.
4 guards have been added to the bridge spawn point to protect it.
The queueing system has been modified to keep th

World of Warcraft Live Raid
Last year I missed the World of Warcraft Live Raid, and I've been kicking myself ever since. Battles with all the 5-man bosses at once, and a climactic battle with Uber-Hogger--I knew I wasn't going to miss that again.
So here we are, settled in, waiting for the Live Raid this year! Can't wait to see what Blizzard pulls out this time...

Talent Calculator "Use In-Game" Button
You can now use our
Talent Calculator
to apply your talents directly into the game!
All you have to do is click the
Use in-game!
button on the right side of the talent calc. A dialog box will pop up with a
/script
command in it. All you have to do is copy the script, switch to WoW, open up a chat box, paste it in and hit enter—the talent pane in game will automatically preview the talents you chose on our site!
Notes
Don't forget that you have to hit the "Learn" button in order to actually use the talents—our script just loads a preview!
This only works on characters who are currently untalented. If you have some of your talents spent already, the script gets confused.
Give it a try!
