Regardless of whether you are fire, frost, or arcane, if you are a mage, you are dishing out some serious DPS. This shirt honors the mage in all of their destructive (and sheeping) glory.

PvP Q&A with Blizzard’s Cory Stockton
Filed under: Blizzard, PvP, Interviews, Battlegrounds
Blizzard’s Lead Content Designer Cory Stockton answered quite a lot of questions about the upcoming PvP changes in Patch 3.2. There are a lot, particularly the experience gains in Battlegrounds which also has deep implications in PvE as players can simply toggle experience gains off (any Level 60s up for Molten Core?). It’s a pretty lengthy interview and Stockton goes into detail with the new Isle of Conquest Battleground. Some highlights from the chat:
- Experience gain in Battlegrounds is slightly slower than questing or grinding
- Players can toggle experience gain on and off with a mere 10 Gold
- There are plans to include greens and “the occasional blue item” at the end of each Battleground match (!) but won’t make it to Patch 3.2
- The Isle of Conquest is in the Frozen Sea, North of Icecrown
- Objectives in Isle of Conquest are captured exactly like flags in Arathi Basin — I totally called this wrong when I said it would probably be a numbers and proximity thing
- Battlemaster Achievement isn’t likely to change (whew!) but Blizzard is considering what to do with the Achievements for the Isle of Conquest
- Rated Battlegrounds are coming. Not quite soon(R), but an announcement will be made during BlizzCon
- Blizzard plans “to deliver more Battlegrounds to the players as often as we can”
Oh, man. That last bit made me want to change my underwear. Blizzard is actually paying attention to Battleground enthusiasts, realizing that while Arenas are nice and all, a lot of players love the BGs, too. New Battlegrounds “as often as we can?” Yes, please! Head on over to the official site to read Stockton’s interview in full. Bombs, cannons, parachutes, angry Generals… 3.2 is shaping up to be one explosive patch, indeed.

a new 5, 10, and 25 man instance to
WoW, and usher in a new 40-man battleground called the
Isle of Conquest.
WoW.com will have you covered every step of the way, from extensive PTR coverage through the official live release. Check out
WoW.com’s Guide to Patch 3.2 for all the latest!

Christie Golden signing Saturday in Long Island
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Events, Fan stuff, Virtual selves, Blizzard, Interviews
Christie Golden (who, you’ll probably remember, wrote Arthas, the book our guys loved so much) will be signing copies of that book at a bookstore called the Book Revue in Huntington, NY this Saturday at 7pm. In a quick interview with Newsday there, she also talks about both her background in fantasy and sci-fi (she remembers the days when sci-fi and fantasy were seen as silly diversions rather than premises for multi-million dollar movies and videogames, as do most of us older nerds, probably) and her experience with WoW. She says that having the chance to jump in and virtually visit the actual setting of her books is a real plus when doing research — if she has a question about the layout of Stormwind, she can go over to that city and check it out herself.
If you’re in or near Long Island and are a Christie Golden fan or are looking for something Warcraft-y and fun to do on Saturday, there you go. She’s got more information on her blog about the signing (looks like she’ll be reading as well). If you do go, let us know how it went.

15 Minutes of Fame: Druid at the decks
Filed under: Features, Interviews, 15 Minutes of Fame
15 Minutes of Fame is our look at World of Warcraft players of all shapes and sizes - from the renowned to the relatively anonymous, the remarkable to the player next door. Tip us off to players you’d like to hear more about.
Did you know that players on Argent Dawn-US have their own soundtrack? Fellow AD player Aspeth — aka DJ Aspeth of Sao Paulo, Brazil - has been posting trance mixes on the AD forums since she was a lowbie DJ still spinning her first talent points. Now, she jet sets from continent to continent (hope the screenshots for this profile make it in before she hops her next plane for Europe; if you don’t see them, you’ll know why!) to mix it up for a ballooning fan base entranced with the Aspeth sound.
Her fans on Argent Dawn are both vocal and loyal. “Thanks for the new mix! I’ve been a huge fan of yours for years,” posted Athraku. She repays that following by dropping by the AD forums with a sample of her latest work. “Whenever I can, I share a mix in the forums,” she says. “I haven’t been able to do it monthly lately, but I try to at least once every two months or so.” When you get a look at Aspeth’s wicked schedule, you’ll wonder how she ever finds time - but find it she does, as well as carving out a few moments to keep her little Druid soaking up the sounds (and sights) of Azeroth.
