Which Direction Is Our Game Heading?
As many of you know, the original pitch for World of Warcraft was an epic adventure where you would band together with your peers and defeat a common enemy, be it a huge dragon, or an opposing faction's army. This is the reason that a lot of players initially bought the game, but it's also one of the aspects of the game that seems to be disappearing.

Patch 3.3.3 Models & Icons: Halion, Celestial Steed and More!
Hey there Wowhead readers! We just wanted to take the opportunity to share with you some cool 3D (animated!) models and icons that we have discovered so far in the Patch 3.3.3 data! Sadly there's not too many icons yet for all our forum-goers' avatars, but the ones we've found are
incredible
!
We've got models for some amazing new mounts, including a beautiful spectral steed, a strange two-seating rocket mount, a blazing hippogryph and a big ol' wooly rhino! We've also found a new model for Anduin Wrynn (the only character ever to "age" in WoW?), a cute celestial wyrmling pet and the violet dragon
Halion the Twilight Destroyer
- a new boss in the upcoming
Ruby Sanctum
!
Check out the models and icons after the break!

Gear Check: Peregrine Gaming Glove
So I'm going to be taking over and doing my own tech review this time, because I was excited about this product and I didn't want
Miyari

Razer Naga

This time I've got ahold of a
Peregrine Gaming Glove

Pawn, Now with Added Wowhead Awesome
Some of you may know about this little addon from the last time we
mentioned
it, but for those who don't here's a little explanation:
Pawn
is an addon that takes the stats from an item you are looking at and gives it a score based on a weight scale, very similar to our own stat weighting system. The higher the score the "better" the item is according to the weight scales you design.
And now, Pawn users will be happy to know that the team over there has added a little extra awesome into the addon by using our
stat-weights
by default!
To get Pawn you can find it on our sister site

3.3.3 PTR Patch Notes Updated
The PTR is currently down and is being updated to a new build, but in the mean time Blizzard has updated the PTR Patch Notes!
http://www.wowhead.com/?patchnotes=3.3.3-ptr
Included in this new build are several changes to some classes, such as
Zerfleischen
's debuff duration increased from 12 seconds to 60 seconds. There are also other class changes for Mages, Rogues and Warriors.
Another little gem was added in this build was the ability to your frame rate to an eye blistering
200 frames per second

Icecrown Citadel Raid Buff Now Live
The buff promised by Blizzard to make
Die Eiskronenzitadelle
easier has finally been enabled on live realms as of this morning's rolling restarts!
Wrynns Stärke
for the Alliance and
Höllschreis Kriegshymne
for the Horde
increase damage, healing and health by 5%
. From looking at related spells it will slowly increase over time to finally reaching its top out point of
30%
.
These buffs will hopefully help out those raid groups that are having issues progressing through the raid encounter. But those who wish to do this without help still have the option to turn it off by speaking with your respective faction leader to disable the buff.

Stat Changes in Cataclysm Announced
Quite a few of you have heard about the changes coming to stats in
Cataclysm

Eyonix has gone into detail about each and every change you will be seeing in the upcoming expansion, including spell power coming from intellect, and haste rating doing "more stuff" for melee users than just increasing attack speed.

Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Fundraiser for WoW Players
About a week ago I got a letter that was very affecting. It almost got lost in the inbox shuffle, but fortunately I caught it only a few days late, because I found it really affecting.
It warms my heart to see gamers coming out to do something really good for society, and considering the way mainstream media only seems to notice when a gamer shoots up a school, it's more important than ever that we work together to get the word out.
Here's the message:
Hi guys,
My name is a Maria, a SF Bay Area geek and a very avid gamer. From the age of 7 when my Dad got me into gaming and bought me an NES Action Set/Bundle, I’ve been hooked. Aside from the typical console gaming and having a day job, I am still very active playing PC games especially within World of Warcraft. I was recruited into the guild Conquest on Kilrogg (US) and have since then learned how to split group mobs and teleport through walls. :P
Anyway, the reason I’m writing is because I’m reaching out in hopes that you could help me promote a little fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I’m running a triathlon this

3.3.3 PTR Patch Notes Updated!
Blizzard is already updating the Public Test Realms with a fresh new build, including some very interesting changes to the Dungeon Finder tool and Holiday bosses.
http://www.wowhead.com/?patchnotes=3.3.3-ptr
In addition, Blizzard has also included a small number of class changes and change that I know pet collectors everywhere will love -
Winzige wandelnde Bombe
and
Lil' Smoky
(the Engineering-required non-combat pets) are no longer Bind-on-Pickup! Now our fellow engineers (or skilled alts) can make these lovable little explosives for any non-Engineer's collection!
Blizzard have also completely revised the way Holiday bosses (such as
Ahune
,
Coren Düsterbräu
, the
Der kopflose Reiter
) are handled. Players will now be required to use the Dungeon Finder to queue up for these special event bosses via an NPC dialog option. Upon defeating the boss, players will each receive a single loot cache containing a rare, "special" seasonal item. Players will be able to kill the boss for his other drops as many times as they'd like, but can only receive one of these seasonal goodie bags per day. Looks like the days of endlessly farming these seasonal bosses for hours on end trying to get their rarest drops (like a [item=378
