The Tuesday Morning Post: Northrend Ho!
Good Morning, and welcome to the last Tuesday Morning Post before Wrath of the Lich King, and the first Tuesday Morning Post for the new site design. I'd call it the calm before the storm, but, well, there's very little that's calm, what with everyone rushing around getting all that last minute stuff done, and the whole thing with the Scourge in Orgrimmar and Stormwind.
Anyway, you'll want to watch the site for the next few days, because we'll be rolling out tons of guides to help you get on your way in Wrath, with class talent builds, information on new skills and zones, and all the rest of that. In the meantime, the servers are down for a few hours, so check out some of the stuff we've already posted from the last week:
Preparing for Wrath
As always, be sure to check out Ask a Beta Tester. There's answers to a lot of questions, and a lot of information that could prove pretty helpful in Northrend.
You'll also want to check out our Preparing for Wrath guides, with tips on how to get ready for the expansion by cleaning out your bank, Grabbing leveling addons, and more!
If you're waiting until 80 to get back into Arenas again, you may want to think twice. Queue up now, and you can test out the two new Wrath arenas today.
Speaking of Arenas, season 5 starts on December 16th for level 80 players. Good luck getting ready, Arena junkies.

Take the player, not the class is a great philosophy in theory, but does the game support it?
So you're in jail, and you're bored. What do you? Can you say frivilous lawsuit?
Blizzard likes integrating good addons into their base UI. They know a good thing when they see it. But sometimes, the addons are still better, such as, some argue, in the case of GroupCalendar.

Everyone, BRK would like to apologize for that whole server instability thing.
