Buy FigurePrints Directly Through Wowhead!
You can now buy a
FigurePrint
of your character directly through the
Wowhead Profiler
!
If you don't already know what a FigurePrint is, it's a custom made statue or figurine of your World of Warcraft character. You punch in your character's name and realm, and they custom build a statue of your character. You can even get them both in the form of a statue or a bust, just of the character's head and shoulders.
Now you can get them directly through Wowhead! All you have to do is go to your
character page
and click the "Buy FigurePrint" button, and the website will walk you through the rest.
Please Note:
We can't currently offer FigurePrints based on custom profiles, though it's something we're definitely interested in trying.

Dolby Axon Releases Client API
So I don't know if anyone but me is following what Dolby is doing with their new
Axon
service, but it's something that I've been interested in so I thought I'd take a moment to mention it here.
For those of you who don't know, Dolby Axon is a VoIP service that Dolby has created, intended to fulfill the same needs as a Ventrilo or TeamSpeak server , but with a lot of extra functionality—for example, Axon can actually
position
your voice in 3D so you can actually hear teammates located in a particular spot in full surround.
Well Axon has just released an API for their desktop client, which has the potential to mean even
more
interesting developments.

In the Future, All Posts on the Official Forums Will Show RealID
According to a post Nethaera just put up on the official forums, future posts on the official WoW forums will be posted by RealID, rather than by character name. This means that when you post on the official forums, you will be identified by your first and last name.
Nethaera has posted a thread in the official forums detailing the reasons for this change. Most important to note is that it will
not be retroactive
—previous posts on the forums will still be printed the same way. Only
future
posts will be converted.
This is an interesting change. I admit I'm concerned a bit—partially about privacy issues but mostly about security. But honestly, my first and last name are up all over the Internet already. I have a blog at
Alpha-Build.net
, so anybody who happens to be curious about my personal info can find it there. What I'm
really
curious about is to see how this affects flaming and trolling on the forums. Would you behave differently on the forums if anybody who read your post knew your real name? Time to find out!
The blue posts are after the break!
