    We've received an interesting report on the WoW Insider Tip Line today. Two large World of Warcraft hacking and account trading websites, Markee Dragon and MMOwned, are offline. Article Update: According to MMOwned, they are moving servers, which is the reason their site is offline for some.Attempts to reach the sites prove unsuccessful.This is a good thing for everyone that wants to have a more legitimate gameplay experience in WoW, as both of these sites actively encouraged people to exploit bugs, break the ToS, and do all other sorts of tom-foolery that destroyed the game for legitimate players.Our tipster mentioned that these sites were taken down in part by action taken by Blizzard, however we don't have any proof of that.I've selected the angry baby picture for this article, since that's how the exploiters and account traders are feeling right now. Buh-bye.

    There's a lot of speculation that 3.0.8 will drop tomorrow. We've got our sources that say it looks good for a release tomorrow, there have been some blue posts about it, and MMO-Champion is contending it's as good as confirmed (90% chance Boubouille says).However with the impending patch there is a very important reminder to be made: not everything we see in patch notes is correct. It's bold because it's important.Take a trip back to the 3.0.2 patch notes.On the 3.0.2 PTR we saw a plethora of changes to all the classes and items, tons and tons and tons. More than we had ever seen. However when the official patch notes were released, things were amiss. Many of the changes we saw on the PTR did not make it into the live patch.
