Now this is hilarious!

What is so special about September 19th? It has been declared Pirate Day!  Sprinkled throughout the major cities, commoners are festively dressed in their finest Pirate garb.  Talk to them and they grant you a buff that turns your character into a Pirate for one hour.  If you desire to become a pirate for the entire day, head on down to Booty Bay and talk to the Pirate Captain.  She will grant you a buff that will last for a full 12 hours! If you turn yourself into a pirate for the day, don’t forget to talk like a Pirate as well!  Yaaarrrr!

They have tons of other cool things there too, so check them out…

The Wrath of the Lich King release date has finally been announced! You can pick up your copy of the latest expansion on November 13, 2008!  The game is available in both regular and Collector’s Edition versions and can be preordered at various retailers or online.  Place your order today folks so that you can be playing Wrath on the 13th.

It’s Harvest Festival Time!  Make sure you travel outside the gates of Orgrimmar before Saturday to Honor the fallen Heroes of the Horde! Pay tribute to our fallen heroes by purchasing some fireworks and lighting up the Azerothian sky. Also, be sure to partake in the bounty of the Harvest feast.

One quest is availiable that will give a modest amount of XP to those still leveling characters and while you wont receive anything grand instantly you will receive Bounty of the Harvest in the mail.  It is a handy little food dispenser that conjures four food from the Harvest Festvial year-round.  ( Sadly the cooldown on the Horn appears to be 12 hours; however, it never hurts to have something on you to conjure food when a vendor is no where to be found . )

Back from basic and sould start playing a bit again soon.  I’m trying to become an officer and I’m on lock down til Oct 4 so I can’t play all that much til then. 

QUACK!

Just thought I’d give everyone a heads up that The Duck = Falldragon

With Hurrican Gustav about to hit the Gulf Coast and several Civilan members, as well as the country at large, potentially being affected, naturally many of us are concerned. That being said, anyone who is affected, as soon as is safe and possible, if you can check in, either here or by logging into WoW to let us know you & your’s are safe & sound, we’d appreciate it, and we’ll see what we can do to assist. All the good karma coming your way to make sure your safe.

Recently the creators of the real world Mana Potions decided to take a real time run from Shadowglen to Darnassus on their homemade treadmills.  By doing some fancy mathematics and calibrating their treadmills to move their level one characters forward the two were able to make it across the map… barely.

Check out their amusing Night Elf costumes as they make their epic journey.

Race Across Azeroth

With Wrath on the Horizon, many of us have turned to PvP to stock up on our shiny purples to give us a leg up as we begin the leveling grind from 70-80.  When Burning Crusade finally went live, many players put aside their blood-lust for the opposing faction and worked together to reach the level cap as quickly as possible.  Will you be putting aside your current path of gnome annihilation in favor of leveling to 80 as quickly as possible or will you make it your sole mission to halt the progression of the Alliance as you explore Northrend’s Icy terrain?

With the release of Wrath of the Lich King approaching, we wanted to provide you with some important information. In preparation for the expansion, we will be issuing a new content patch in the coming weeks. Much like the patch made available shortly before The Burning Crusade’s release, this content patch is designed to bridge current game content with that of the expansion and will contain some exciting changes and additions.

We have outlined some of the larger features scheduled to release with the patch below:

New class spells and talents
Stormwind Harbor
Barbershops in capital cities
Zeppelin towers outside of Orgrimmar and Tirisfal Glades
Two brand-new Arenas featuring challenging new layouts, terrain hazards, and moving obstacles
Guild calendar
Hunter pet skill revamp
New profession: Inscription

As mentioned above, this is not a comprehensive list, just some of the major highlights. We’ll post the full patch notes as soon as they’re available. Regarding Inscription, please note that all Burning Crusade players will be able to select Inscription as one of their two professions and level up to a skill level of 375 with it. Upon the release of Wrath of the Lich King, players who purchase and install the expansion will be able to continue leveling in Inscription and the other professions beyond 375.
