OS X Client Users: Please Re-Download!
Those of you who use the
Mac version
of the
Wowhead Client
may have been having some trouble uploading your data lately. Well, we've been having a bit of trouble with the framework that the Mac Client uses to handle updating itself. We've updated the Client so that it works properly, but I'm afraid you'll need to download it again.
So, those of you who use the client on Mac OS X need to go to our download page and get another copy! Don't worry—your data will be preserved!

Lunar Festival Guide! (Feb 14 - Mar 7)
You know we couldn't let another holiday go by without one of Miyari's excellent
guides
!
From the looks of it, this world event is going to be much closer to what we saw last year (unlike the
Love Is In the Air
event), so previous experience should apply. We've also pulled out all the stops to make a fully featured table with links to the locations of all the
Elders
, complete with lightboxed maps for each individual location, and overall maps for the whole continents. :)

Come take a look! We'll (of course) be updating it as the event goes on, and feel free to leave feedback here in this thread!

Yeah... We're Dropping Support for IE6
I'm sure this will come as no surprise. What with all the talk about security holes, and the advanced age of the browser (what, nine years now?), major websites are dropping IE6 support left and right—and that's not to mention the specific concern about the security of WoW accounts.
So let us say officially:
We will shortly be dropping support for Internet Explorer 6 (IE6)
.
Now for those of you who are stuck with this geriatric browser for whatever reason, don't despair! This isn't quite as harsh as it sounds—it doesn't mean the page is suddenly going to stop working completely in IE6. It only means that if we make a change or an update that makes the page look funny in IE6...well, we're not going to lose any sleep over it.
No longer worrying about maintaining support for this old browser will enable us to spend more time developing new features, and to make sure we're taking advantage of all the technological advances newer browsers have to offer.

Wowhead Pride Contest (Still) Upcoming—and International
So you may remember us advising you about our upcoming
Wowhead Pride Contest
, originally mentioned in a blog post
here
. Obviously it's taken us a little bit longer than we initially planned to get rolling—we had originally scheduled the contest for January—but things are proceeding apace!
This means you just have a few short days to prepare to send in your pictures! Remember, all you have to do is take a photo of yourself sporting a
Wowhead Rocket
somewhere—and upload it via our contest page!
You're not
required
to submit a photo of yourself wearing one of our awesome
Wowhead T-Shirts
or
Hoodies
—after all, we want everyone to have an equal shot—but it is ONE way, and why WOULDN'T you want one of these?
For those of you who prefer to do it manually, we also have full size printable versions of the logo available here:

Pet Store Adding IRL Plush Pets For Sale Soon (in 3D!)
Blizzard, it appears, is buffing out their roster of downloadable in-game pets with some
real world plush pets
.
The Blizzard store has announced plans to sell two new plush companion pets—a baby Wind Rider and a baby Gryphon. When you buy one from the
Blizzard Store
, you
also
receive a code which unlocks an
in-game
equivalent.
Please note that while the pets are sporting their faction logos, they are not restricted by faction. :)

Check out the corresponding in-game companions in 3D!

Profiler & Completion Tracker Updates
Since the launch of the
Completion Tracker
(beta) at the end of December, we've been hard at work fixing bugs, making tweaks, and adding new features—both to the Completion Tracker and to the Profiler in general. We thought we'd take a moment to recap some of the additions and changes we've made!
Remember, if you're ever curious, you can see our latest additions and developments on the

Love is in the Air Guide!
Ahh, spring... when a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of the
Herzbrecher X-45

Ladies and gentlemen, the
Love Is In the Air
event is set to begin this Sunday, February 7, so what better time for us to provide you with one of our own classic,
Miyari
-written guides?

Remember, this event has been set up to change almost
completely
from last year—there's a LOT of new content, and most of it isn't public knowledge yet. We've taken the time to dissect the information we have and try and construct in advance what you may be seeing this year—and as the event goes live, we'll be updating the guide in real time!

Icecrown Citadel Weeklies Now Available
So I know I've been spamming you with blogs today, but I couldn't let this one go by: The
weekly quests
for Icecrown Citadel are now available!
If you're looking to find them all in one convenient list, you can just use the
Sack mit frostigen Schätzen
item page! Scroll down to the
Reward from
section to see the complete list of quests. :)
For those of you who are wondering, the raid weeklies don't have a centralized NPC who gives them. The NPCs who give the quest actually spawn inside the raid instance itself. Only one NPC will spawn, and it's a different spawn for each quest. It's my understanding that they're pretty hard to miss, though, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding yours. :)

Lich King Loot Data Available!

You've Seen CES Coverage—Now See the OTHER Convention Footage
So ZAM has been posting coverage of the
CES
convention this yeah, but those who have attended (and some who haven't) know that on that particular weekend in Las Vegas, there are
two
conventions—CES, and the
Adult Entertainment Expo
, or
AEE
. So basically the whole weekend is a celebration of the two things that 18-34 year old males like best.
So of course,
Mike B aka Fony
couldn't resist the temptation to pay the AEE a little visit. For those of you who are interested (which I suspect is more of you than would otherwise let on), you can find the video here:

An Apology
Last Thursday we posted a
guide to Cataclysm
, the upcoming WoW expansion. In that guide, we included a number of screenshots and photographs that we did not take, and they were not appropriately credited. Specifically, a number of them were taken from
MMO-Champion
, as well as a few that came from
World of Raids
and from the
Official WoW Magazine
.
This is seriously not cool, and should never have happened.
I have tremendous respect for all three of these editorial teams, and taking advantage of them is the last thing I would want to do.
By way of putting this right, I am currently going through the guide and adding credit where credit is due on all of the images I can find. If you happen to be reading the guide and you find an image that I missed—or if you are the owner of one of these images—please let me know via a comment here or via email at feedback@cuckhead.com so that you can be credited.
