March 9, 2011 Ragnaros must be smiling
Blizzard thinks you are not ready for a new Cataclysm raid yet, so Ragnaros is getting a reprieve. Eurogamer confirmed that the next tier Firelands raid will appear in Patch 4.2 instead of 4.1 as originally scheduled.
Q: What is a Fireland?
A: “Firelands is a raid encounter on the Elemental Plane of Fire in which players will once again face Ragnaros, a boss made famous by the Molten Core raid in vanilla WoW.” Not to be confused with Midsummer Fire Festival.
Patch 4.1 will now offer “new versions of the troll dungeons Zul’Aman and Zul’Gurub, previously small raid encounters for 10 players or more at lower levels”. Or as Larisa puts it, the main dish to be served in the first Cataclysm patch is a pre-chewed chewing gum.

March 9, 2011 Level your WoW toon from 1-85 in 3 hours!?
Tobold wants to split World of Warcraft into two games. In his back-to-back articles, Tobold argues the merits of an all-raiding endgame dubbed Call of Warcraft, where leveling from 1 to 85 will be in the form of a few hours of tutorial, and a pure leveling game in an open, dynamic world without a raiding endgame. Could Blizzard be mind-controlling him to convince us to pay for this damned game twice?
Which World of Warcraft game would you rather play?
