2 New Features: Mapped Quest Objectives and Advanced Zone Maps
Wowhead has released a few exciting new features this morning!
Mapped Quest Objectives
First among them is a new map system on
quest pages
, which shows you everything you need to find directly on the page! Just go to the quest page for any quest, and the page will automatically show you icons for the NPC who assigns the quest, the turn-in NPC, the monsters you need to track down, etc!
Advanced Zone Maps
We've also added a bunch of new features to the map found on
zone pages
! Using the
button above the map on the page, you can now see a TON of new options available!
Take, for example,
Hillsbrad Foothills
. The map on this page will now show, among other things...
Alliance flightmasters
Horde stable masters
Rare NPCs
Books
There are a ton of new options available, so play around with them and let us kno

Female Worgen Revealed!
Blizzard has been kind enough to give their official fansites a sneak peek of the brand new
female worgen
models!
Keep in mind, of course, that these are
works in progress
. We all know Blizzard can sometimes change things like this at the last minute, so don't be surprised if the model that makes it in the game isn't quite the same as the ones you see here.
Let's hear your opinions! Good? Bad? Ugly?

Remote Auction House Access In Beta!
Surprise! Blizzard has launched their beta test of the WoW Online Auction House via their brand new
WoW Remote
service! While only available on a
select few realms
, will be able search their characters' local Auction Houses with the same functionality available in the game, as well as see real-time status of each of their current bids and auctions.
When the service finally goes live, players will be able to subscribe to a new service called WoW Remote for
$2.99/month
, which allows you to buy items, post items to the auction house and even collect gold from your current auctions.
During the beta test these features will be available for free, and each account will be able to perform up to 25 transactions a day. While this number is low, it will be increased when the service is officially launched.
Due to the added stress, the Armory is loading a little slow right now. But when it's up, the information will be at the links below!

Profession/Skill Pages in the Database!
On top of the recent addition of
class and race
pages to the database, we've now added
professions and skills
pages to the site!
Example:
Alchemy
You can now access a central location for all the information you need to know on a particular skill or profession through a convenient item on the menu. Mouse over the Database menu at the top and give it a try—and leave a comment or two while you're there.
The information on these pages was already available on Wowhead, only scattered throughout multiple areas of the site. We're hoping this will make browsing easier, so let us know what you think!

TankSpot Joins the ZAM Network
Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the newest member of the ZAM Network...
For those of you who have never visited,
TankSpot
is the premier WoW video site on the internet, and they have unmistakably the best strategy videos available. A number of us here at Wowhead are already regular users, and we're very excited about the opportunity to work directly with them.
So what does this mean for Tankspot users? Firstly, the entire staff at TankSpot will be staying on to continue to maintain and improve the site—just like when Wowhead joined ZAM three years ago, you will continue to see the same high quality of content you've always seen from TankSpot. As time goes on, we'll be able to grow the existing site, and add new features and content. Plus, once we get our APIs integrated, ZAM and Wowhead
Premium
users will also get premium privileges on TankSpot, and vice versa!
For Wowhead users, you're going to start see more interactive and video content popping up around the site. In fact, you may have already noticed the first major change: Boss pages on Wowhead now feature

Find Upgrades Button Now on Item Pages
That's right, we've added a new button to all of our item pages (for instance,
Bloodfall
)!
You already have the option of doing this from the
Wowhead Profiler
, by loading up a profile, right clicking on the item, and selecting
Find upgrades
. But in case that's too many steps for you, you can now find upgrades directly from the item page!
To do so, just go to an item page. Click on the
Find upgrades
button, then select the appropriate class and spec. It'll automatically take you to a page like
this one
, which will list you the appropriate upgrades according to our
weight scales
!
Give it a try and tell us what you think. :)

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. :)

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 "
Creates
" tab to item pages.
The
Filter these results
link on search pages is now a little more obvious.
You can now directly click where you want to go in the
heirloom slider
.
Our
quest pages
now feature links to critical items, zones and NPCs!
The "Google" option in the Share menu on the
blog
now points to Google Buzz/Reader, rather than Google Bookmarks.
You can now filter for
millable items
!
We've removed the minimum character limit in forum posts.
There's now a link to the
Advertise
page in the More menu.
We've changed the tab order on pages like
Book of Glyph Mastery
, so that the source appears
before
what it teaches you.

An Informal Poll
So I have a few things that have been wondering lately, and I'd like to do a poll. I've noticed that a surprising number of our users seem to hang around the site even though they don't actually
play
WoW anymore. Are you one of those people?
I'd like to get answers to these questions. A simple "yes" or "no" is enough.
Do you have an active World of Warcraft account?
If yes:
Do you use the Launcher?
Do you regularly visit the official World of Warcraft site?
