Warcraft Experience

Blizzard sheds some more light for us today…

The bestiary page for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade has been updated with two new creatures from the upcoming expansion. Learn more about two of the new species you’ll encounter in Outland, the mighty fungal giants and the ferocious ogre lords. Check out the updated bestiary now!

Thanks

Blizzard has released an improved version of their popular talent calculators. You will now see all three trees for each class on the same page, and the click responsiveness has been greatly improved under Internet Explorer. Talents that unlock new class abilities will now also display all trainable ranks of the associated ability. We hope you enjoy our new talent calculators!

Couple new Oceanic realms from Blizzard…

We’re happy to announce the opening of two new Oceanic realms: Aman’Thul a PvE realm, and Barthilas, a PvP realm. These realms will go live tonight at 11:59 PM PDT, June 8th, placing these realms live at approximately 4:59 PM GMT+10, June 9th. This will allow our Oceanic players to begin creating characters at a time comfortable for them. These two new realms will offer our Oceanic players, new and old alike, fresh beginnings in Azeroth!

Thanks

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the WoW events calendar or you just may have noticed the Darkmoon Faire Town cryer in a major city, then you may have noticed that the Darkmoon Faire has rolled into town for the Alliance today so head over to Goldshire and join the fun.

Those who have registered for WSVG Lanwar in Kentucky can now register for the unofficial tournaments the Blizzard team will be running at the event.

• To save your BYOC seat at Lanwar, register first at the official website here. There are still spaces open in both Blizzard BYOC areas.
• Once you’ve signed up for the event, sign-ups for all the Blizzard tournaments can be found here.

Note that the WSVG website includes some cool features for those wanting to participate in the tournaments. If your friends and guildmates can’t make the event, you can sign up as a free agent so teams missing players can pick you up. Likewise, if you have an incomplete team, you can sign up with open spots listed.

We’re also happy to report that the folks at WSVG have sent over the specs of the high-end gaming PCs that will be given away in the main event of the unofficial Blizzard tournaments: the Strathholme Race on June 17th.
