World of Warcraft - P1mp My Mount

Today Blizzard announced their newest addition for their Massive Multiplayer Online game World of Warcraft, P1mp My Mount. With this excellent addition you as a player will be able to P1mp up our scrawny looking mount and make it look EPIC!

The process of pimping your tired old mount is quite simple. Drop by Zazzber's local Fix-'Er-Up (available in Orgrimmar, Ironforge, and Dalaran with a very special PvP-oriented shop over in the phrigid lands of Wintergrasp) and talk to our resident mount pimp, Zazzber or his high-tech redneck assistant Janie Sue and, for a small fee, they'll overhaul your hauler, tricking your tired old vehicle out into something worthy of the Achievement "Pimp My Mount."


Still not convinced? Then check out some of our insanely satisfied customized-ers!


It used to be that whenever I rode my horse past the Exodar, the other draenei laughed at me. "Silly girl," they'd say, "get yourself a proper elekk!" But now, thanks to Z-dawg's ultimate pimpage, those other goat-heads all wish their mounts were half as fly as this guy!


The other trolls, mon, used to think I was strange for preferrin' my kodo to a raptor. But then my main man, Z, hooked me up with some upgrades to my sleek ride. I've got some shade even under the blazin' beach sun over in Stranglethorn and my kodo? He's pimpin' it out with his superfly hat!


Maybe coming back from the dead changed me; I'll never know for sure. But all I know is that I've always loved my kitty-cat. Sure, the other death knights thought it was a little silly but now I fire up my cat's phat nitro-boosters and blast those death knights on dead horses out of this life!

World of Warcraft - Wrath of the Lich King - Talents

Today Blizzard announced the new talents for the expansion for World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King. It features alot of new talents in the two new tiers and has alot of revamped old talents in the upper tiers. Here is a few noticable talents:

• Warrior - Titans Grip (Fury/Tier 10) : Allows you to equip two-handed axes, maces and swords in one hand, but you attack 28%/26%/24%/22%/20% slower than normal
  
• Warlock - Chaos Bolt (Destruction/Tier 11) : Sends a bolt of Chaotic Fire at the enemy, dealing 1012 to 1278 Fire damage. Chaos Bolts cannot be resisted, and pierces through defensive immunities.
• Shaman - Spirit Link (Restro/Tier 11): You link the friendly target with two closest nearby friendly targets, causing 50% of the damage taken to be distributed to the linked targets. Targets who take a hit equal to 30% of their total health will be removed from the Spirit Link. You can only have one link active at a time.

• Priest - Guardian Spirit (Holy/Tier 11): Calls upon a guardian spirit to watch over the friendly target. The spirit increases the healing recieved by the target by 40%, and also prevents the target from dying by sacrificing itself. This sacrifice terminates the effect but heals the target of 10% of their maximum health. Lasts 10 sec. (3 Min Cooldown)

And last but not least a few talents from the new Hero Class, the Death Knight:

• Death Knight - Dancing Rune Weapon (Blood/Tier 11): Unleashes all available runic power to summon a second rune weapon that fights on its own for 1 sec per 5 runic power, doing the same attacks that you do.
  
• Death Knight - Hungering Cold (Frost/Tier 11): Unleashes all available runic power to suddenly purge the earth around the DEath Knight of all heat. Enemies within 10 yards are trapped in ice, preventing them from performing any action for 1 sec per 5 runic power. Enemies are considered Frozen, but any damage will break the ice.
  
• Death Knight - Anti-Magic Zone (Unholy/Tier 6): Places a large, stationary Anti-Magic Zone that reduces spell damage done to party members inside it by 75%. The Anti-Magic Zone lasts for 30 sec or until it absorbs 10,000 spell damage. (2 min cooldownI)
  

With this as a taste of what is coming in the new expansion I am really looking forward to the release.

World of Warcraft - Wrath of the Lich King - Player Achievements

Today Blizzard announced a new feature that will be implemented in their next expansion for their game World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King. This feature is called "Player Achievements" and is a series of goals which the players can achieve while playing on their characters. Things that a person can achieve is everything from getting a haircut to exploring the every bit of the areas ingame. By completing theese goals you can get different cosmetic items like tabards and pets as well as an addition to your character sheet with a list of all your achievements that everyone can view.

I think this is going to be a good extra feature and it can give you a small overview of what you have done in your time ingame. And of course in some cases you can use it for your personal bragging if that is your wish. Blizzard have learned to be creative and they show it by implementing small things like this which makes the game more enjoyable and gives people a better gaming experience.
