Good Tuesday Morning, everyone. We're now around 2 weeks into the new wow gold expansion, and I'm sure by now everyone has some reason to give thanks for something in this thing. Despite the long queues and the iffy server issues that plague some, I'd say it's overall been pretty sweet.

Downtime today is around 6 hours, from 5 AM to 11 AM Pacific time. If that cuts into your normal playtime, or if you're stuck at school or work, I'm going to suggest my usual: Why not catch up on WoW news? There's a lot of it right now, of course, what with the new expansion. Let's look back at this past week in WoW:

Hot News

Hopefully, you had a chance to log into WoW on Sunday or Monday. If you did, you know by now the joy of the blizzard bears. The Bear was given out in honor of WoW's 4th anniversary. We celebrated by remembering.
The Queue, our new replacement-slash-continuation of the old favorite Ask a Beta Tester, is in full swing. Check out what's been answered so far, and ask your own questions. BlizzCast 6 is out! It's mostly focused on Diablo and Starcraft, but there's a few things a WoW Player might be interested in. Hierloom Items, the new Bind to Account goodies, seem to be on everyone's mind lately. We have a guide to grabbing them for yourself or for your latest new project.

Class News and Guides

Feral Druids are getting some pretty drastic armor and wow gold weapon changes in 3.0.4. Speaking of Feral Druids, Blizzard is implementing some AE changes that will give Swipe to cats, as well as improving Shamans and Rogues.
Hunters, check out our guide to some of the new gear in the Northrend newbie zones. Death Knights, we have a similar newbie gear-finding guide for you as well.
Warlocks, look forward to a rather large change to Ritual of Summoning coming soon to a PTR near you. Healing Priests, get some advice on what consumables to bring to a raid. Warriors, you'll probably want to level to 80 as Protection. Yeah, you heard me. Mages, check out our guide to Wrath reputation rewards for Mages. Priests will like our guide to polishing off levels 75 to 80.
