FROM THE DEPTHS OF VANILLA WOW WINTERSPRING - Developers have announced with the release of Ulduar, the Winterspring Frostsaber will no longer be available to alliance characters.
You love your guildmates, well, as much as you can love people you mostly only interact with online anyways, but what if you did see them more off-line? We'd like to help you avoid ruining your life as much as possible, so here is a list of the 5 events you probably shouldn't bring them to.


FROM THE WOW PTR - Midsummer Festival is still months away, but already fireflowers are being tested as the new holiday treat on the PTR. Find one of these rare blossoms in a dungeon and be the first to ninja it, and your toon will suddenly grow twice in size, sporting all-white gear and an unequippable collector's hat. The catch? No dying until the dungeon is finished!

JUST IN FROM WOW ELEMENTAL CENTRAL - Shamans walking around with 20k health have a 10k earth elemental to tank for them, and a fire elemental that does half as much damage as their 20-minute-cooldown-less Magma Totem.
Blizzard has noted this as an obvious concern.
Answer? You say, "Fix the elementals." I say, "Of course not, since when does fixing a problem involve improving the weakness." Case in point: Rockbiter Weapon was last seen as useful in 2004.
But don't worry, the Blizz-style fix is on it's way: the Air Elemental of Doom!
For the mere expense of 23% of your mana pool (the same ridiculous pay-a-kidney cost of the other elementals), you get an Air Elemental featuring:
- 5k damage/second tick (like the time Sapphiron was bugged one X.X.X patch ago)
- tanks like a druid in full T7 (mana sponge tank ftw)
- upon 2 minutes passing, he enrages and one shots every target in range until killed
He should be showing up in 3.1 like that mythic dual-spec thing.
IN MURLOC LAND - Beyond the nitty-gritty information building up on Ulduar and 3.1 (and the jokes that go along with Ulduar), one new piece of happiness has come around for the WoW raiders--the Murloc Raid!
According to Eyonix, a Blizzard blue poster, not only will you be able to fight murlocs, kobolds, and gnolls in a 10-man and 25-man setting (by suggestion of player), but you can play one of these races simply by entering the super-secret password:
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A
A hundred-foot murloc will also be released soon with the ability to finally eat those pesky Core Hound hunter pets. No more auction house shaking!
[Editor's Note: If you didn't get that code reference above, shame on you]
