World of Warcraft Magazine Issue 2 Preview
The preview for
Issue 2
of the Official World of Warcraft Magazine is now available!
http://cde.cerosmedia.com/1R4be16d2a32de7608.cde/page/1
In this massive 46-page preview they give you a taste of what the magazine is about. Inside you'll find a lexicon of all the dragonflights (and dragons in general), some nostalgia about raiding back in vanilla, and even a section on winning the battleground Warsong Gulch. You might even find an article inspired by your
own contributions
!
You can read this and much much more over at their official

Gear Check: Razer DeathAdder Left Hand Edition
Though it's not exactly a matter for public record, I've always been of the opinion that
Razer
makes an excellent mouse. Most of the things that they normally brag about don't seem to make or break the product (“our mouse is almost 3000 points more responsive than a regular mouse!”), but I've never been dissatisfied by a product of theirs.
The
Razer DeathAdder Left Hand Edition
is no exception.

TankSpot Joins the ZAM Network
Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the newest member of the ZAM Network...
For those of you who have never visited,
TankSpot
is the premier WoW video site on the internet, and they have unmistakably the best strategy videos available. A number of us here at Wowhead are already regular users, and we're very excited about the opportunity to work directly with them.
So what does this mean for Tankspot users? Firstly, the entire staff at TankSpot will be staying on to continue to maintain and improve the site—just like when Wowhead joined ZAM three years ago, you will continue to see the same high quality of content you've always seen from TankSpot. As time goes on, we'll be able to grow the existing site, and add new features and content. Plus, once we get our APIs integrated, ZAM and Wowhead
Premium
users will also get premium privileges on TankSpot, and vice versa!
For Wowhead users, you're going to start see more interactive and video content popping up around the site. In fact, you may have already noticed the first major change: Boss pages on Wowhead now feature

Find Upgrades Button Now on Item Pages
That's right, we've added a new button to all of our item pages (for instance,
Blutfall
)!
You already have the option of doing this from the
Wowhead Profiler
, by loading up a profile, right clicking on the item, and selecting
Find upgrades
. But in case that's too many steps for you, you can now find upgrades directly from the item page!
To do so, just go to an item page. Click on the
Find upgrades
button, then select the appropriate class and spec. It'll automatically take you to a page like
this one
, which will list you the appropriate upgrades according to our
weight scales
!
Give it a try and tell us what you think. :)

An Informal Poll, Part 2
So here's one more question I've been wondering about, that I'd like some input on:
How often do you actually

Every day
Once or twice a week
Once or twice a month
I'm kinda waiting for Cataclysm
Please include a number in your comment for when we tally up the data, but you're welcome to elaborate in your response.

Contrary to Popular Belief, Cataclysm Alpha Still Under NDA
Just to let you guys know, despite the flood of leaked Cataclysm information sweeping the internet, as of now all Cataclysm information is
still under
NDA
.
You know, in case you were wondering why that information wasn't appearing HERE.
The NDA is still in effect and has not changed in any way. We have already clarified this here:
http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=13200617234&pageNo=1&sid=1#1
Unless we clearly state otherwise, please continue to assume the NDA is in place and in full effect.
This is just to let you know that this IS leaked info, and we'll be continuing your regularly scheduled coverage as soon as the NDA drops. :)

Cataclysm: Halls of Origination Preview
The
Halls of Origination
is a new dungeon located in Uldum for level 85 players. Inside this lovely new instance you'll find familiar features from both
Uldaman
and
Ulduar
but with a new dash of Egyptian style structures and art. As you progress through Uldum you will eventually happen across the infamous explorer Brann Bronzebeard (of course), who will enlist your help exploring these new halls and eventually uncovering the titan's ancient secrets.
You can read the whole preview on the official Cataclysm

Starcraft II: Heaven's Devils Audiobook Available Now
We've recently been in touch with Simon & Schuster, who was kind enough to provide us with a peek at the audiobook for

For those of you who are interested, you can take a listen to the first chapter in mp3 format right here on Wowhead!

Battle.net Real ID Friends
Blizzard just announced yet another one of the features the new and improved Battle.net will have. Just earlier today they said that Battle.net will have Facebook integration, and now this.
http://us.battle.net/realid/index.html
Adding your
Real ID
to your Battle.net account will allow you and your friends (who have also entered their IDs and have agreed to be friends with you) to access a number of unique features - real names for friends, cross-game chat, rich presence (additional information about what your friends are doing/playing), broadcasts (short messages to all your friends), and see-all-characters.

Battle.net Facebook Integration
This morning Blizzard release a press release that is rather interesting. The new Battle.net, which will be released with the upcoming release of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, will feature
Facebook integration
.
http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/press/pressreleases.html?100505
This is not especially surprising—clearly the functionality is intended to make it easy to connect and add friends through Facebook to your Battle.net friends list. According to the press release, this should be popping up on the beta test client in the near future.

April Features Update!
We had so much good stuff in April that we decided to do a
new features recap
a little early—but we've been hard at work since then as well, so I still wanted to do our normal monthly feature recap here. Come check out some of the stuff we've been working on!
We've added a "
Creates
" tab to item pages.
The
Filter these results
link on search pages is now a little more obvious.
You can now directly click where you want to go in the
heirloom slider
.
Our
quest pages
now feature links to critical items, zones and NPCs!
The "Google" option in the Share menu on the
blog
now points to Google Buzz/Reader, rather than Google Bookmarks.
You can now filter for
millable items
!
We've removed the minimum character limit in forum posts.
There's now a link to the
Advertise
page in the More menu.
We've changed the tab order on pages like
Buch der Glyphenbeherrschung
, so that the source appears
before
what it teaches you.

Well

TheOnyx: you can't tell me that this functionality isn't awesome for quests like this

Dalaran Children's Week Quests Issues
As you may already have noticed, if you have completed the Dalaran
Children's Week
quests that were released last year,
you currently cannot complete them again this year.
An update posted by Bornakk and further clarified by Bashiok states that at this time there is no plan to fix this issue with the quest in time for this Children's Week, and everyone who completed the quest last year will have to wait until the event rolls around again.
This is rather upsetting, I was hoping to complete the Dalaran collection by getting my

We are aware of the issue that is currently affecting the Children’s Week quest line in Dalaran which does not allow players who have completed the quest line last year to take part in it again this year. We do not currently have a fix planned to address this issue at this point in time.

An Informal Poll
So I have a few things that have been wondering lately, and I'd like to do a poll. I've noticed that a surprising number of our users seem to hang around the site even though they don't actually
play
WoW anymore. Are you one of those people?
I'd like to get answers to these questions. A simple "yes" or "no" is enough.
Do you have an active World of Warcraft account?
If yes:
Do you use the Launcher?
Do you regularly visit the official World of Warcraft site?

Screenshot of the Day Now Featuring Cataclysm
Blizzard have just posted via their Twitter feed at
#Warcraft
to let everyone know that they will now be posting Cataclysm screenshots to the
Screenshot of the Day
feature on the
official World of Warcraft website

There's no word on how long they'll be teasing us with these great screenshots of what's in store, but I hope it's at least until the Cataclysm Beta begins and we can start taking some awesome screenshots of our own!
Starting today, our Screenshot of the Day section at worldofwarcraft.com will feature unique #WoW #Cataclysm images!

Today's screenshot features a Gilgoblin, perhaps found in the upcoming
