Talent Calculator "Use In-Game" Button
You can now use our
Talent Calculator
to apply your talents directly into the game!
All you have to do is click the
Use in-game!
button on the right side of the talent calc. A dialog box will pop up with a
/script
command in it. All you have to do is copy the script, switch to WoW, open up a chat box, paste it in and hit enter—the talent pane in game will automatically preview the talents you chose on our site!
Notes
Don't forget that you have to hit the "Learn" button in order to actually use the talents—our script just loads a preview!
This only works on characters who are currently untalented. If you have some of your talents spent already, the script gets confused.
Give it a try!

Wowhead Completion Tracker Temporarily Disabled
So with the addition of the new patch this evening, you may have realized—the
Wowhead Profiler
is going to need some serious tweaking!
The latest patch brings a bunch of radical changes to the
stat system
, and as such a bunch of changes to the way our Profiler does its calculations. The new Armory site isn't up yet, but when it goes up we're going to put together a massive Profiler update, not just to the way statistics are calculated but also to the way that quests, recipes, mounts and such are tracked.
Unfortunately, this means that
the Completion Tracker is temporarily under maintenance.
We'll keep you updated!

WoW Reaches 12 Million Subscribers
You know, just when you think WoW has FINALLY plateaued, they hit another milestone.
I caught an article on CNET this morning referencing a
press release
from Activision-Blizzard, announcing that they have reached a monumental
12 million subscribers
. That's active subscribers, too—the press release defines subscribers as "...individuals who have paid a subscription fee or have an active prepaid card to play World of Warcraft, as well as those who have purchased the game and are within their free month of access."
The CNET article goes on to make some somewhat laughable claims about what this means for the future of WoW (for instance, that if we use Everquest as a guide, we can predict that WoW will release 480 expansions over its lifespan), but the core number is astounding. Even now, when everyone is kind of waiting for Cataclysm to start everything back up again, WoW's subscribers are still increasing.

Blizzard Was Teasing Us With The Cata Release Date All Along
A commenter named Ron over at
WoWInsider
pointed out something we missed!
A little while ago in the
Azeroth Bulletin
which we reported
here
, this was posted:
Speaking to a small conglomerate of various Alliance representatives, Mekkatorque pointed out that the time to strike is now. After all, Thermaplugg has eluded death for years to keep his reign over Gnomeregan; and with the fall of the Lich King, the last great threat to the citizens of Azeroth, the chance of any cataclysmic event taking place in the foreseeable future is
"less than 12.7%,"
Mekkatorque's leading combat medical advisor Doc Cogspin purported.
12.7%? 12-7? CURSE YOU BLIZZARD FOR RUBBING IT IN OUR FACES!!!

Likely Cataclysm Release Date: December 7th!
Edit: The release date was right there all along, and we didn't see it! See
this post
for the details!
While poking through the game files for the next patch, we found this little snippet of text!
"Arena battles and Rated Battlegrounds are only available during an active player versus player combat season. Season nine will begin on
December 14th
, so be prepared at that time to take your shot at glory!"
It's official: Season 9 starts on December 14th. Combine this with a blue post from Zarhym...
We are currently planning to end Arena Season 8 as early as October 12. At that point we will go through our normal process to determine who is eligible for the end-of-season rewards. This process should take approximately one week. It's very important for players who feel that they may be eligible for the Arena-specific titles and/or the Wrathful Gladiator’s Frostwyrm to refrain from transferring their characters to another realm or faction until after Arena Season 8 ends.

FFXIV ZAM Site Gets A New Look (From Us, Kind Of)
I know that roughly 80% of you have no interest in
Final Fantasy XIV
, but since we were involved in this a bit I thought we'd take a moment to mention it.
Our design guys have been working with the team over at
ZAM
to make some adjustments to the layout and design of their Final Fantasy XIV site! Between us we've tweaked the menu system, the display for advanced filters, the listviews, the news story display, and more!
If you're interested in poking around, here's the rundown:

Currency Calculator Online!
We've released a
Currency Calculator
for Cataclysm!
In our last few blogs (specifically
here
,
here
, and
here
), we've noted the upcoming changes to the currency systems in Cataclysm—old currencies (like Emblems) are being converted, either to gold or to a new currency called
Justice Points
. Likewise, old PVP tokens are being converted to honor points.
Sound confusing? Never fear! Just hop on over to our brand new
Currency Calculator
and work it out for yourself. We calculate conversions for Emblems, Badges, honor, arena points, and more! You can find it using the link below, or just select it from the
Tools
