This past week was not the most exciting week ever. It was a week without a major patch on beta realms and a week without a lot of announcements in general! We still have plenty of great content that you may have missed over the course of the week, such our class columns, our worgen starting zone walkthrough and an assortment of other Cataclysm content. Head behind the cut below for links to all of our top content from the last week.
If you find yourselves especially bored today even after going through the backlog of posts you"ve missed this week, we have a fun little activity for you! Take the header image of this post, erase Deathy from the love-bubble, and insert other humorous things and link it in the comments below. Please, please keep it clean. You don"t want to get banned, and I don"t want to see your genitals. Really. I don"t. I promise.

Everyone seems to be talking about Cataclysm these days -- and that"s not a bad thing, after all the expansion is completely overhauling everything we knew and were familiar with. A lot of the Cataclysm hype surrounds the thought of "finishing" the original game as completely as possible, because many of those beloved quest chains and moments from vanilla will be gone without a trace when the expansion launches. Yet even as these chains are recommended, players forget some of the earliest quests in the game -- mysteries that were never fully explained.
There has been a long-running idea since the days of vanilla that there are still quests out there in vanilla that have not been completed. Despite the addition of the Loremaster achievement, there still isn"t a single player in this game who has finished "every quest," because some quests have never been completed or even discovered. The thought of undiscovered quests sets people on a flurry of activity, speculation and forum threads that often provided more entertainment than whatever quest they were seeking answers for. One of the biggest mysteries in vanilla WoW didn"t involve dragons or legendary swords or epic moments at all -- instead, it all began with a simple, unassuming box located in a quiet glade.

Naszym kolegom z MMO-Champion udało się odnaleźć w plikach bety Cataclysm model goblińskiego mounta – motorka. Podobnie jak wszystkie inne rasy, tak i również gobliny, będą posiadać dwa rodzaje mountów, te zwiększające prędkość o 60% oraz te zwiększające prędkość o 100%. W przypadku goblinów te pierwsze nazywać się będą Trike, [...]

The latest WoW champions in the 2010 MLG Pro Circuit are the members of Nerdstomper Blue, who claimed their victory Sunday evening in Raleigh.
It was a close win for Nerdstomper Blue, after its opponents, Evil Geniuses, won the first set of the finals three to one. Evil Geniuses entered the finals from the lower bracket, though, and needed two winning sets to claim the championship. Things seemed doubtful for Nerdstomper Blue after it lost the first two games of the second set, but it made an impressive comeback, winning three games in a row and taking the championship. In addition to the $9,000 prize for first place, Nerdstomper Blue will now be seeded favorably at the MLG Finals in Dallas later this year.
If you missed the livestream, you can still watch the rebroadcast from Sunday"s games at MLG"s site.
For those of you who are curious, Nerdstomper Blue used a shadowplay comp (priest-warlock-shaman) for their first set against Evil Geniuses, then switched to RLS (rogue-warlock-shaman) for the second. Evil Geniuses used RLS for both sets.
Congratulations to Realz, Glickz and Kollektiv of Nerdstomper Blue! Nerdstomper Blue win MLG Raleigh originally appeared on WoW.com on Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

The World of Warcraft is an expansive universe. You"re playing the game, you"re fighting the bosses, you know the how -- but do you know the why? Each week, Matthew Rossi and Anne Stickney make sure you Know Your Lore by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft.
The dwarves of Warcraft are an interesting bunch of characters -- though they haven"t had much "screen time" in World of Warcraft, over the course of the expansions we"ve seen more focus on this odd race and its mysterious origins. Rather than evolving or being created as a natural being like the trolls or the tauren, the dwarves were originally a race called the earthen, created by the Titans with the specific purpose of shaping and documenting the progress of the world of Azeroth.
The earthen were quite literally of the earth. Created from the stone and earth of the planet they watched over, these creatures shared a deep connection with the world itself. Each movement of the ground, every earthquake or natural disaster was felt by the earthen and affected them in a profound way. The explosion from the Sundering -- the destruction of the Well of Eternity which caused the continent of Kalimdor to split into the continents we know today -- affected the earthen deeply, and many retreated to the safety of the Titan cities from which they had originated after the explosion.

Blizzard rozpoczął sprzedaż wirtualnych biletów na BlizzCon. Co zyskamy kupując taki bilecik? Będziemy mogli śledzić wydarzenia ze wszystkich sal BlizzConu na monitorze swojego komputera. Cena: 29,95 EU, czyli moim zdaniem sporo, lecz jeśli nie kupimy BlizzCon Virtual Ticketu, to tego co się dzieje na BlizzConie nie zobaczymy, gdyż na targach [...]
