Blizzard Shop Talk
Blizzard has posted the latest edition of their "Shop Talk" feature on the forums, and included in it is some information on the upcoming 5 year anniversary celebration. Apparently the
Welpling von Onyxia
pet will actually be available to anyone who logs in the entire week of the anniversary—but only to the characters you actually log in on.

New Sham-tastic Icons From PTR Build (10835)!
Just a quick update - we've recently updated the site to add new icons found in the latest PTR build (10835)! This update includes icons for the
Shaman Tier 10
armor sets! Remember, you can check out the new
Tier 10 Armor Sets
in our
Patch 3.3 Guide
- which will be updated soon to feature all of the wonderful
new items
we've found!

Tier 9 Compendium
Icecrown Citadel knocks on the door, Arthas is likely getting dressed like Santa, and a new Tier set is coming out. Looking at the names of the sets, they don't seem anything
special
- so I thought* it's probably a good idea to post some extensive explanation about the
last
Tier. Why? Because it is actually interesting from a Lore perspective.
Remember, back when Tier 9 was released, how a lot of people were excited about Alliance and Horde not only having different sets, but having those sets named after famous members of the respective faction and class? I don't know about you, but I was really excited to be a part of the lore on that level. And because of this inspiration, this blog was born - a compilation of relatively short summaries of all those heroes' and villains' stories. Read on!
*Not really. Read the note after the break.

Icecrown Raid Access Progression Revealed!
Lead Encounter Designer Daelo has published a lengthy post on the official forums that outlines Blizzard's plans for
access progression
in the Icecrown Citadel raid. The citadel will be broken up into four sections, and all of them won't immediately be available when
patch 3.3
goes live.
We believe a staggered release of the content will allow players to experience Icecrown Citadel at a sustainable, measured, and ultimately more enjoyable pace.
Here's a list of the noteworthy points Daelo mentions in his post:
The Lower Spire will be the only section that is available initially.
Plagueworks will open several weeks later, followed by the Crimson Hall and Frostwing Halls.
Players may not attempt the Heroic 10/25-player encounters until they defeat the Lich King in the Normal 10/25-player encounters.
The Lich King may not be attempted until Professor Putricide, Blood-Queen Lana'thel, and Sindragosa are defeated

Blue Pugs Round 3!
That's right, you get a third opportunity to go PUGging with a blue poster!
This one is
Wednesday, November 18th, at 4:00PM PST.
Since our first two tests went so well, we’d like to invite everyone out again for round 3! Come join the fun on the PTR and instead of getting the PUG blues, you could end up grouped with a blue. Members of the Development Team (including the encounter designers themselves), the QA team, and the Community Team will be on the PTR to test out the new dungeon system and want you to come join in the fun.
To have a chance to group up with one of us, just queue up for a random heroic through the Dungeon tool. We will be playing both Alliance and Horde and since the Dungeon tool allows players to group cross-server, it doesn’t matter which of the two PTR realms you join from.
Join us Wednesday 11/18/09 at 4:00pm PST.

Mr. T Commercial #1 - Mohawk Grenade
The Night Elf Mohawk himself has infiltrated the game to hand out
Mohawk Grenades
to anyone who wants to pity a fool. Along with this comes a new ad campaign with new commercials featuring Mr. T himself.
Get Your Own Mohawk Grenade!
Night Elf Mohawks can be found outside of every starter zone, such as the Northshire Abbey in
Wald von Elwynn
and Deathknell in
Tirisfal
. Each Mohawk Grenade lasts 1 day and when used on an unexpecting player grants them the
Irokesiert!
buff which lasts for 60 minutes and gives the player the face of a Night Elf Mohawk. Even after using them all up the Night Elf Mohawks will gladly give you more! An official F.A.Q. on the grenades has also been setup
here

commercial

New Items in Patch 3.3!
We've made some updates to the
New Items
page! You can now conveniently see all of the items we've gathered from the PTRs, neatly sorted by item level. It displays a tab for each major item level tier, and allows you to filter the results to your heart's content.
You can filter globally using the quick search box, or on a per-column basis by right-clicking them. Remember that not all of these items have drop data yet. This will come in time, but we need your help—so be sure to send us your
cache files
, and be sure to run the
Wowhead Client
on your PTR installation of WoW!
Go check out the list, and keep checking back—you might just find something no one else has caught yet...

Jace Hall Blizzard Interview Video
So Blizzard has provided us with a video from their archives!
This is an interview that
Jace Hall
did with the Blizzard staff which originally aired on December 15, 2008—just a month or so after the release of Wrath of the Lich King. He explores the Blizzard offices (which they never let me take pictures of!), talks about the decisions they made for Wrath, and settles an old rivalry.

Blizzard Holiday Card Contest

This year, we’re inviting you to catch the spirit by creating a Blizzard-ly holiday card of your own featuring the Warcraft, StarCraft, or Diablo series. We’ll provide the template -- all you need to do is add your personal touch.

Blizzard Authenticators: Are They Worth It?
The Authenticator is an excellent tool that keeps unwanted hackers out of your account through a nearly infallible method. However, this device also has the potential to cause a
lot
of inconvenience for the account holder, oftentimes more trouble than it would cause for a hacker. I can say from this personal experience because I’ve gone through it twice already. After the second incident, it really made me reconsider whether or not the Authenticator was worth the hassle.
The first time happened was when I went on a trip to Northern California.

Tentative BlizzCon 2010 Info Leaked
So the crew at
WoW.com
have done a bit of sleuthing, and have discovered that
BlizzCon
is (tentatively) scheduled at the Las Vegas Convention Center next year, for July 30th and 31st!
Check out the source
here
!
Edit:
Blizzard has sent us an official response to this story:
We haven’t announced any details regarding our next BlizzCon -- though we can confirm that it will not be held in Las Vegas -- so we recommend everyone refrain from making any BlizzCon-related travel plans at this time.
Looks like we won't be meeting in Vegas this year—a shame, I was rather looking forward to the trip.
