For the time being, I'll try to be super awesome with news posts once again!

Patch 4.2 - Patch Notes Update
Blizzard posted what seems to be the final version of the Rage of the Firelands Patch 4.2 Notes and added RAF to 80, removed the Move Pad feature (moving your character with the mouse only), and clarified the starting conditions of the Legendary Quest.

Interface
Move Pad is a mouse-click interface for movement which is now built into the base interface.

Legendary Item - Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest
Steadfast raiders have an opportunity to embark on a series of quests to create an all-new legendary caster staff. In order to begin the process of assembling the staff, players must first kill a Molten Lord in the Firelands, or have completed any of the achievements Bastion of Twilight, Blackwing Descent, or Throne of the Four Winds. Once any of these achievements have been unlocked, players can accept the quest A Legendary Engagement from Ziradormi in Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar, or Coridormi atop the Wizard's Sanctum in Stormwind (players who have already completed any of these achievements are immediately eligible for this quest). Players who become eligible for the quest series by killing a Molten Lord in the Firelands will automatically receive the quest Your Time Has Come, leading them to the start of the questline. The legendary item questline is only available to druids, mages, priests, shaman, and warlocks.

Free WoW keys sent to subscribers
The updated Recruit a Friend bonus isn't the only thing Blizzard decided to do, they also sent free WoW keys to a lot of subscribers to let them invite a friend who doesn't want/can't buy the game! You might want to check your email to see if you were elligible to this.

    You realise it's only 30 days? In other words, you'll have to pay anyway after those 30 days, and will have to buy the expantions.
    If you are not sure if you want to play the game, just get the 10 day trial.

    On topic:
    I'm from the EU, played since 2005 and took some breaks when the game had nothing to offer for me, wonder if I get a mail.

    I got this email! I thought it was a fake so I went to the site and it said, "Welcome Joe!" and everything. I called Blizzard and said it's a new promotion.

    I've been playing since Vanilla launch and I received an invite. It's an obvious attempt by Blizzard to use their existing player base to secure themselves new subscriptions. Sending me a free copy of a $10 game to give away is not a "gift" and does not show their "thanks"- it shows me you are stooping to new lows scam me into giving you more subscribers. Find your own subscribers, don't use your existing player base as your lackeys.

    Apparently the blues moderating the US forums felt the same way since they deleted my thread about it in the General forums after receiving many favorable replies from other players.

    My main account has been active since launch. I have at least one max level toon of every class, if not two. I have logged some ungodly amount of hours like 70 or 80,000 and I have never been thrown a single bone from Blizzard. No R-a-F emails, no beta keys, no nada. So I don't wanna hear it!

    Should have known something like the "free gift" thing would happen after they chased so many of us to Rift with their idiocy.
