More Huge News: Faction Change Service Coming
Nethaera has just announced on the official forums that we will soon be receiving the ability to change our faction.
Holy crap.
This may be the most radical, fundamental change to the game dynamic that I've seen since the game came out. I admit i've always wanted this for my own characters, but really...I guess it was one of those things I never thought would change. Now that it's changing, it's kind of...scary.
The full quote from Nethaera is after the break.

Wowhead Profiler Released!
Update
(Dec 22, 2009): You can now use theProfiler to track your completed quests, mounts,pets, and recipes!
View announcement
I know, I know—caps lock. But every now and then, an announcement is a big enough deal to be worth it. It's been over 2 years of work. It's been created, scrapped, and re-created six times, by 2 different developers. And now, just when it looked set to become the
Duke Nukem Forever
of Wowhead, the time has finally come.
Ladies and gentlemen, the
Wowhead Profiler
is here.

Death Knight Q&A with Ghostcrawler
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but this is the Q&A I was waiting for.
Ghostcrawler has posted his Q&A about the Death Knight Class! You can read all about how they're not overpowered (we swear) after the break, or in its original form on the official site here:

Wowhead: PTR 3.2 Site Up!
The
PTR Site
is up!
Sorry for the slow update rate on this one—it's been a busy week. :) The
talent calculator
is already prepared, and we'll be updating with item data as we collect it.
Make sure that those of you who are have characters on the PTR are running the
Wowhead Client
—or, if you're feeling like a hacker, you can directly send your itemcache.wdb file to feedback@wowhead.com!

Mage Q&A with Ghostcrawler
These things are coming faster than we have time to post them. :)
So this is the second entry in the class Q&A, series, this one about mages. Ghostcrawler answers some interesting questions, and some uninteresting ones, and gives us some clues about the future of the mage class.
For those of you who play mages—and maybe those of you who don't—read on! The text of the interview is after the break.

But for those of you who aren't satisfied with just one contest, guess what...we've got
another

This time, we're giving away a kickass
Dell XPS 625
Desktop PC, another stack of
Killer Network Cards

The Crusader's Coliseum!
Well the updates are just coming fast and furious now. The latest update is about the newest tier in raid content—tier 9—to be released in Patch 3.2!
Apparently the next raid tier to come out will be the Crusaders' Coliseum. No info released yet on what the actual encounters will be like, but there have been a few interesting tidbits—apparently there will be four difficulty levels on this one: a normal and heroic 10-man, and a normal and heroic 25-man. They're unlocking one encounter at a time, one per week, Sunwell-style. They're ALSO creating a system (which has already generated some controversy) which limits the number of attempts you get on each boss per raid lockout, and increases the quality of rewards based on how many "tries" you have left when you down him.
Add in a new 5-man dungeon that rewards
Siegel des Champions
s, and new Alliance-only and Horde-only skins for gear, and this one sounds ESPECIALLY interesting. The blue post is after the break!

Holy Crap: Mount Levels Changed
So I was out getting dinner and I missed this one, but for those of you who HAVEN'T heard the news yet: Zarhym just announced a radical re-vamp of the mount system.
Among other changes: regular land mounts are now level 20, and epic mounts are level 40. You can now get a flying mount fresh of the rack at level 60. This is going to change the levelling process
completely
—especially in Outland.

Shaman Q&A with Ghostcrawler
Regardless of whether or not you're happy with the job that
Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street
is doing as a Systems Designer, you have to have a lot of respect for the guy for having the balls to get in front of the WoW community—a community that's famous for sending forum moderators home in bodybags—and defend his design decisions.
In the latest move in this direction, the official WoW forums have published a
Class Q&A
—this first one for Shamans, though presumably this is only the first of many future updates. I haven't touched my shaman in a while, but I thought this was very interesting. I am
definitely
looking forward to seeing what he has to say about the other classes.
You can read the Q&A here:

Wowhead: About Us Page Update
So those of you who have been paying attention to detail will notice—our team is expanding, and we've finally made all of the appropriate updates to the
About Us
page.
We've added some new full-time programmers to the team:
PoeticDragon
has actually been working with us on the site for a good long time—she's responsible for most of the cool goodies you've seen come out on the site for the last few months, including the
item comparison
, the
hunter pet calculator
, the
weight scale
system, as well as the upcoming
Wowhead Profiler
. It's been a huge oversight on our part that she hasn't been featured on the About Us page long before now.
We've also very recently added
TheOnyx
to our development team—a long-time Wowhead user, and in fact the winner of Wowhead's
very first contest
all the way back in 2006. You can read about him on the About Us page as well, not to mention

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:

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.
Blizzard's announcement follows after the break:

New Druid Forms! (Night Elf Bear)
Continuing the trend, Blizzard release the new artwork for the
Night Elf Bear
forms today!
I like the work on these, the eyes are very interesting and the claws look especially dangerous.
Once again you can click on the "Original" button to see the full size version.

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!

: I've added the full details from Blizzard as to how the different colors and skin types are selected after the break. Click to read more!

The Most Epic Thread Ever

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. :)

Wowhead: A Few Little Updates
We continue to tinker away in the background, and we've made a few small updates today that we wanted to make sure you knew about!
We've added the

Purchaseable with Champion's Seal
and
Purchaseable with Wintergrasp Mark of Honor
We've also added an

Not to mention of course, we're constantly updating the list of items found in
Ulduar
