Friendly reminder from WoW.com: Convert to Battle.net now!
In two weeks time, on November 11 (November 12th for EU folks), all World of Warcraft players will be required to have a Battle.net account in order to access the game. The reminder has been counting down on the game's log-in screen for the past week, urging players to create an account on Battle.net merge it with their World of Warcraft accounts, with the promise of a cute little penguin to sweeten the deal. As if the threat of being unable to play the game weren't enough. Blizzard has big plans for their new Battle.net upgrade, which they announced during BlizzCon 2009, and the mandatory merge works towards their long-term goals for all their games. Exciting features such as cross-realm, cross-faction, and even cross-game chat will be part of the new Battle.net, which some people have pointed out is reminiscent of XBox LIVE. Of course, we at WoW.com are dedicated to making sure you make the merge because aside from wanting our readers to cozy up to monochromatic, flightless birds, having them locked out from the game we talk about on the site all the time is kind of a lose-lose situation for everybody. So hey, two weeks to go. Merge that baby.
One Shots: Not indigenous to the wastes
I've seen these friendly little pets popping up all over the place lately, but I think this is one of the first times I've seen a Penguin wandering around the Blasted Lands. Today's World of Warcraft One Shots shows off a recent, but regular contributor, Johanis, spending some time near the Dark Portal. He writes: Johanis (in Christmas disguise) visiting Nethergarde Keep from the old World of Warcraft territory. Just taking the newly aquired Penguin pet out for a little walk in the red wastelands. I certainly hope the little guy did okay in the scorched landscape - they're not known for being good in heat. Have you snagged a screenshot that makes people say "this doesn't quite belong together"? If so, we want to see it. Send it to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name and what game its from. A description is entirely optional. (We can just make it up!) We'll post it out here for everyone to check out and give you the credit. %Gallery-9798%
