Blizzard's answer to the rhetorical question "What to do until the expansion?" was pretty much predictable.

With Arena Season 3 theoretically planned to start with the Zul'Aman patch, but as a matter of fact stuck by so few people wearing T6 gear, they are going to simply nerf everything again.

Mmo-Champion posted the latest changes to 2.2 Patch Notes whose summary is:
- Various nerfs to Serpentshrine Caverns, Black Temple and Mount Hyjal.
- Tempest Keep and Coilfang raid bosses will now all drop at least 3 items each.

So, by the time this changes will go live, more people will clear SSC and start to attempt some BT/MH bosses. Smaller guild who never left Karazhan will go to Zul'Aman and even the lonely casual players will get some love with new Heroic Badge Rewards and Season 1 Gladiator beeing purchasable with honor points.



Isn't it fantastic?

Why this blog?
Because it's not really possibile to have an indipendent hub for the pretending leaks about a multi billionaire mmo. So, with the assumption of an unrealistic goal, i thoutgh it was funny to revert it to the idea of a fluffy talk. If you read any guild forum you know how much we love to waste time on any sort of link.

Pretending?
There are plenty of examples about an insider who happened to be a professional PR charged to spread the press releases throughout the fan websites. Sometime it is a definite person, with his enigmatic nickname. We could have a BlizzardGuy, but for some reasons we don't have one. Still i think any single leaked info about WOW is leaded from Blizzard.

Are you a Blizzard employee?
No i'm not. It could be quite exciting, but i'd like to work on gameplay not in public relations.

Are you simply attempting to exploiting the upcoming expansion to drive some traffic on your blog ?
Of course :) But i don't want to do it 24/7. Sometime i can write a misleading story but not so often: you can find lot of authentic informations. Furthermore the jokes are tagged as pwned so you'll eventually make rid of them.

Are you a WOW addicted?
I have been addicted for over a year. Now i play a couple of hours after dinner if we have something challenging to do in the raid planner. Most of time i leave my spot to a more needy/greedy guild mate.

Which class do you play?
Warlock.

What do you think about Nihilum?
They are awful. I i definitely considered to apply, unless i play alliance side.
