You, Summer Vacation, and WoW
Hey, guys. I've been so busy since last week studying for finals that I haven't had any time to post blogging entries. Now that school is almost over, I'll have a little more time to post entries and keep you excited users busy!
Anyway, moving on...
I've been playing World of Warcraft for over three years. That's three summer vacations I've been through since I started playing. Considering I have two parents who work full time, I usually spend about three days a week home alone. With very little things to do while my parents are at work, what I usually end up doing is playing World of Warcraft.

New Druid Forms! (Night Elf Cat)
The final installment has arrived! Ladies and gentlemen, behold the new
Night Elf Cat
models!
These are pretty subtle, actually. They really do look like the original models—only, you know, better in every way.
As usual you can click on the "Original" button to see the full size version. Looks like these are the last ones we get—if there are changes to Tree of Life or Moonkin forms, they're not being included in the preview.
Blizzard's announcement follows after the break:

The Next Expansion
Blizzard once said that they would like to release a new expansion every year or so and this has gotten people thinking, "After Arthas, what comes next?" Don't get me wrong, I personally feel no need to rush the release of the next expansion—I mean, we still haven't defeated Arthas. But after Arthas, what will our 1337 characters all pimped out in Frozen Throne purples do next?
Live
New Druid Forms! (Tauren Cat)
To keep you amused while your server is down, Blizzard has posted the new
Tauren Cat
forms today!
These are my favorites yet. They genuinely look like Taurens in cat form, not just like animals with beads and facepaint.
As usual you can click on the "Original" button to see the full size version.

Wowhead Comic #20
Better late then never, eh?
This weeks comic was written by Oneric! And features his pretty little priest and our own
Malgayne
. (The very feminine but
MALE
blood elf.)
Keep the comic scripts coming guys! I'm still sifting through the emails but the ones I've received so far are pretty promising and I'll try to draw up those that really jump out at me with awesomeness.
More ramblings to come after the break...

Wowhead: Glyphs and Spells, Together at Last!
If you've ever wondered if there was a glyph that affected your
Feuerball
spell and what it did, you've probably been scouring
a filtered list of mage glyphs
in an effort to answer that question. We here at Wowhead were not satisfied with that as a solution, so we've made the task easier!
Pages for spells that can be modified by glyphs (such as
) will now have a tab called "Modified By" which lists all of the glyphs that can alter the spell. Conversely, glyph items (such as
Glyphe 'Kleinere Proportionen'
and
Ausgebrannte Glyphe
) will now have a tab called "Modifies" which lists all ranks of the spell that it alters, allowing you to quickly review the spell and its normal effects.
Now, get out there and start inscribing!

Making Those Tough Decisions In-Game
Recently a user, who insisted on anonymity, approached me on IRC and asked me for in-game advice. Not knowing what he was going to ask, I blindly agreed and he explained the situation to me. Basically, he was having a hard time contemplating as to whether he should purchase an heirloom bow to benefit his level 40 hunter or if he should save his valor badges to upgrade his level 80 Death Knight's gear. Bear in mind that his level 40 hunter was his first character ever and that he plans on leveling him up to 80 at some point, and his Death Knight is his main character that's well-geared.
Much to my surprise, I was able to give him what he called the "best piece of advice someone could ever give" in spite of the fact that I have very little experience with WoTLK content.

Firefox Persona for Wowhead
Unlike most of my blogs, this one is going to be very short, for all I bring after almost a week of no Internet, is just news about something little I created.
If you use Firefox, you might have noticed that recently a new feature was released -
Personas
. Personas are like small skins for your Firefox browser - they only change the header (the area where all the buttons are, along with the search and address bars) and footer (the little area on the very bottom of your Mozilla). You only need to
Download + Install
the plug-in, and then you are free to use any Persona from the
Gallery
by simply clicking on it. No restart, no installation needed.
Well, now that I have familiarized you with this feature, here is the news - I have made a little (and very simple!) Persona for Wowhead.

MMOUI - Minion in Beta
A few weeks ago
WoWInterface
announced a project called MMOUI Minion. The Minion was to be a small and light program that keeps track on your addons, updates them, allows you to download new ones, and pretty much makes your life easier. For more details, check
this blog
.
Now the beta version of the Minion is out! Continue reading to see what
Cairenn
and the team have to say.

New Druid Forms! (Night Elf Bear)

New Druid Forms! (Tauren Bear)
So Blizzard has just announced that they are finally updating the models for some of the druid forms!
These graphical updates will be released in the next major content patch, including separate updates for both night elf and tauren, and both bear and cat forms. Blizzard is releasing the information in four installments, and this is the first:
Tauren Bear Form
!
Just click on the image to see. For the original full-size version, click on the "Original" button in the lightbox.
So what do you guys think? Is it gorgeous, is it lame? Is it the update druids were waiting for, or is it totally missing the point? Thoughts and opinions are welcome!

The Most Epic Thread Ever

Tamrien

Taking a Break Can Ease Challenges
Have any of you taken a
MMO vacation
recently? I know I have. Sometimes you need some time away from things to clear your head. Maybe catch up on a few chores or errands you put off recently. I remember last playing World of Warcraft a few months ago. I was working on an
achievement
which was timed. I thought it was really fun, but it was kind of hard at the time, too.
Whether I'm trying to pull off a huge combo in a skateboarding game or trying to solve a riddle in a role-playing game I feel as though my work would be complete if only I could achieve that one special goal. Of course, it seldom happens that way for me.

Wowhead: Talent Calculator Updates!
That'll teach us for thinking no one used this. The minute we changed the "Summary" link on the
talent calculator
to display only the talent titles, I was deluged in email asking us to change it back. Well, we hear you. The full-text printable Summary is back, and it missed you!
We've also made a few tweaks and updates to the talent calculator as well, so for those of you who have been using it regularly will notice a few tweaks—most notably, the links on the right side (Reset, Lock/Unlock, Import, Summary, and Restore) now all work for Glyphs as well as for talents.
Poke around, give it a try, and don't say we never gave you anything. :)
