Mondays are typically slow nights for the world of Azeroth; a few guilds are finishing up raids, a few pugs try and form up before the raids reset the following day. Yeah, Mondays are predictable; or rather, they were.
Earlier tonight I tried logging on to WoW in hopes of finding a couple of pugs and getting a few more badges for some BoA gear, only to see the downloader pop up. A patch on a Monday night? Bad. A patch on a Monday night that doesn’t explain to me what I just downloaded? Really Bad. A patch that is seemingly causing problems for the WoW community? Worse than really bad.
Have you ever wanted to check out Warhammer Online, but felt that a measly 10 free days just wasn’t enough time to hook you? Well all that is about to change.

The night before a weekly maintenance is a special time for World of Warcraft players. In between the complaining about not getting to play for 8 hours there’s always the rampant speculation that “The Patch is Going Live Tomorrow.” Well, more often than not, the Patch does not go live, but that wasn’t the case this morning as WoW players were treated to extended downtime and a download. Yep that’s right folks.
The Bit… er Brood Mother is Back!
If you’re unfamiliar with the O.G. Onyxia fight might I suggest that you take a look at this video. Some colorful and adult language is involved but as long as you cast MORE DOTS you should be fine.

Cryptic Studios have ended its $200 lifetime subscription offer early because they have ran out of subscriptions.
In a statement posted online: "We do sincerely apologize for the rather abrupt end to the promotional offers, It was never our intention to spring that news on our fans or anyone else. In short, we had an allotment of special subscription packages to sell over a fixed time (ending September 1). When we began approaching the offer cap before the date cap, we had to message.
