New Site Features: Battle Pets Map and Visual Pet Database
The entire Wowhead team has been hard at work updating our database to the MoP version of data so be sure to check it out! We have
scenarios
,
a battle pet database
,
a new world map
, and every section of the database updated to Mists of Pandaria's latest. We'll continue to be updating the site throughout the week as well.
The addition of pet battles is one of the biggest features Blizzard's bringing with Mists of Pandaria and it's the one we worked especially hard on. Here are the two features we've added to make your pet collecting a lot smoother:
A visual pet battle database for every pet out there
Search for detailed pets with a variety of filters: source, location, and more
See every pet's detailed stats and information
Search by images or plain text to find the perfect pet

Pirates' Day (Sept. 19th) Guide
Avast, ye landlubbers--it's that time of year again! Put on your
Blutsegeladmiralshut
and get ready to celebrate pirates because September 19th is
Piratentag
in World of Warcraft--an in-game version of the international holiday
Talk Like A Pirate Day
. While not a full-blown holiday, Pirates' Day still brings the grog and its very own achievement for the one day it comes to Azeroth.
While you can get the buff from pirates throughout the faction cities, the main festivities take place in Booty Bay; here players will find pirates celebrating on top the roof of the Booty Bay bank. Once you've arrived, speak to the
Dread Captain DeMeza
and share a festive drink. She will grant you the
Schreckenskorsar
buff, giving you a sweet pirate costume of whatever race your character is which lasts 12 hours! This buff will stay on while mounted, in combat, and even persists through death--unless, of course, you're a druid and you like to shapeshift.
Obtaining this buff will also earn you one achievement:
Der Schatz des Kapitäns
. Since it can only be obtained in this 24 hour window, it's one of the rarer achieveme

Ask Blizzard Anything: Blizzard's Reddit Q&A
Blizzard is following the trend of many gaming companies tonight by taking to Reddit to do their interaction with the community! Tonight Blizzard developers and community team members are going to be hosting a Q&A session through the popular website.
The Q&A is now done and we feel like this was a tremendous one. Blizzard really outdid themselves with transparency, talking extensively about issues they'd previously avoided. The PvE section is especially illuminating. Thanks Blizzard!
Lore
Given what Sylvanas and the Forsaken have been up to regarding the Plague, isn't it inevitable that her desire to "procreate" the undead will bring the Forsaken into direct conflict with all the living factions?
Well, first she'd have to run out of corpses, so from that perspective, the war is REALLY helping the Forsaken out... ;)
This is a good question, because the nature of the Forsaken makes them a really unstable ally. That leads to some great stories. At the moment, Sylvanas is fort

Battle of Theramore Arrives Three Weeks From Today
Just an important reminder as today's huge patch day descends upon us that the Battle of Theramore will not be in this patch--Blizzard instead has confirmed it will be available on the 18th of September which is three weeks from today.
While the
Theramore's Fall
scenario will be available to level 90 players in Mists of Pandaria, it will only be open to level 85s for this one week.
There will be faction-specific Feats of Strength for participating in this event at level 85:
Theramores Sturz
and

Event rewards have been added:

The Battle of Theramore, the first of many Scenarios coming to World of Warcraft, is a story-changing event that will be available to level-85 characters for one week only -- the week leading up to the launch of Mists of Pandaria on September 25.
For the duration of the week of September 18-24, level-85 characters will be able to queue up for and participate in the Alliance and Horde versions of this new Scenario with two friends. (Please note: if friends are not available to you at the time, two will be

Introducing Guildhead for Guild Wars 2
This post is obsolete.
A lot of the ZAM staff has been spending their time in the world of Tyria and we've decided to extend the Wowhead family to include another website. Welcome our brand new Guild Wars 2 database:
Guildhead
.
Guildhead
is currently in beta as we're trying to get it out the door to accompany people on this early launch weekend. For its early release, it has tons of great features such as
a robust skill calculator
to help you navigate Guild Wars 2's in-depth skill system;
a huge world map
; and the usual
database features
that we've been offering World of Warcraft for years.
With all that said, please join me in welcoming
Guildhead
to the Wowhead family in its beta form. This is the second website we've released that shares the Wowhead name and we hope it will eventually live up to the quality you expect from Wowhead and other ZAM websites such as
LolKing

And if you're not into Guild Wars 2, don't worry.

5.0.4 Survival Guide
With the release of Patch 5.0.4, a number of features and changes that aren’t strictly in the continent of Pandaria will be added to the game. I’ve drummed up this guide (with the help of a lot of other people) to ensure you’re prepared for the patch, aware of how it will impact your characters and experience, and ultimately get you into and enjoying the improvements the patch brings as quickly as possible.

Wowhead's Exclusive Interview with John Lagrave and Ion Hazzikostas
Today we have a special interview from Gamescom to share with everyone! Gazimoff from
ZAM
was kind enough to conduct an interview in our stead. He spoke with both John Lagrave (lead game producer) and Ion Hazzikostas (lead encounter designer) about Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft's future, and more.
Read on to find out what feature has been the most challenging for these developers, where they're drawing their inspiration from, and other exciting tidbits to tide you over until Mists of Pandaria's launch!
In your opinion, what was the hardest part of developing Mists of Pandaria as an expansion?
Ion Hazzikostas
: I think overall, just meeting the challenge that we set for ourselves when we set out to create this, we set out to offer more content than ever before, in terms of breadth and depth. We have eighteen raid bosses this patch. We have well over a thousand new qu

Mists of Pandaria Opening Cinematic
You've ended Deathwing's destructive rampage and saved the dragonflights from extinction. Now you must unlock the mysteries of the lost continent and discover the dark secrets of Pandaria's past. Explore ancient kingdoms hidden since before the Sundering, plunder vast treasures from the depths of the forgotten vaults, and rise to defend Pandaria from the shadow of a long buried evil - before it's too late.
We are pleased to present the opening cinematic for Mists of Pandaria as presented at gamescom 2012. Whether you’re Horde or Alliance, there is one question we all must consider: “Why do we fight?”

Professions: Living in Perfect Harmony
As with any new expansion, we often find that we have an opportunity to take a closer look at a variety of game systems within World of Warcraft and explore new ideas or improvements to the game. One system in particular is held near and dear to the hearts of the community: professions. With Mists of Pandaria, the designers were able to seize upon an opportunity to look at the role of materials and refine their purpose and their usefulness. In the end, they came up with Spirit of Harmony as the new resource du jour.
Harmonious Prospects
In Mists of Pandaria, we’re introducing a new material known as the Spirit of Harmony. It slices— it dices— well, ok, it doesn’t, but crafters of any stripe will find it has many uses. By now, any experienced crafter is used to filling bags with a variety of materials such as Primal Life, Primal Fire, Primal Earth, etc. but in Mists of Pandaria, it’s all about Spirit of Harmony (in combination with the usual materials, like ore, leather, and gems). Spirit of Harmony is the result of the designers simplifying an already complex system while still keeping a wide variety of possibilities open to players.

Dev Watercooler: Scenarios
We recently began revealing the Scenarios you’ll experience at level 90 in World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria on our preview site. As the final tweaks are being made, we thought it would be a good time to sit down with Senior Game Designer Dave Maldonado and Game Designer Jonathan LeCraft for a little behind-the-scenes perspective on this unique new system.
What do Scenarios bring to World of Warcraft that we haven't seen before?
Dave Maldonado
: From a technological standpoint, almost everything in the system is new. Players are obviously going to see the World of Warcraft they know and love when they're running Scenarios, but all of the technology driving what we can do with Scenarios is new, and we took that as an opportunity to really indulge in new ways of interacting with the players, the NPCs, and the environment. It was a lot of work to design the technology, with a whole new UI, and new tracking systems and so forth, and while that programming was going on, we got to dream up and implement a lot of randomization and many new things for monsters to do and for the environment to do.

World Boss Preview: Salyis's Warband
The ruthless saurok roam Pandaria, stealing what they can and harassing the island's other inhabitants. The most infamous of these reptilian pillagers are Chief Salyis and his warband. For years, the saurok commander and his raiders have stormed through the Valley of the Four Winds atop Galleon, a colossal and well-armed mushan that is more a moving fortress than a simple mount.
Check out the Mists of Pandaria preview website and get a first glimpse at one of the two new roaming world bosses:

World bosses spawn in the open world and can be attacked by any player (un)fortunate enough to cross their paths. Salyis's Warband will be quite rare, while the expansion's other boss will appear with fairly regular frequency.

World of Warcraft Loses Another 1.1 Million Subscribers
