Twin Eredars loot table final update
The Twin Eredars have been killed a decent amount of time now, and we can assume that we heard about all the items dropping from them by now, the latest additions are the 3 Shoulders drop (That's 6 new items because they're all exchangeable). They're not new items, just an addition to the loot table to make it complete. Reminder : Items tagged with a (*) in the list are available from the vendor on the Sunwell Isle if you can provide the loot above it on the list along with a Sunmote.

Worldwide Arena Battle on TTR
A Worldwide Arena Battle will be held on Tournament Test Realm on Sunday between 12PM and 3PM PST.
If you didn't install your PTR client yet, you can download it through the Blizzard download (from the Test Realm page on the official site) or just use the following temporary mirrors.
PTR Client mirrors
This is the original file to install the PTR client, then run the WoW.exe in your WoWTest folder to get all the PTR updates (there are a few of them, probably 6 or 7, and you'll have to install them one by one)
- WoW-2.3.3.7799-to-0.4.0.7897-enUS-patch.exe [Download]
- WoW-2.3.3.7799-to-0.4.0.7897-enGB-patch.exe [Download]

- WoW-0.4.0.7897-to-0.4.0.7923-esES-patch.exe [Download]
Latest PTR update mirrors
The latest update was fairly big, I mirrored the enGB and enUS for people who really need them but I don't plan to do it for all the languages, sorry.
- WoW-0.4.0.7994-to-0.4.0.8016-enUS-patch.exe [Download]
- WoW-0.4.0.7994-to-0.4.0.8016-enGB-patch.exe [Download]
Warlocks and mages changes in the expansion
Warlocks will get a few new abilities in the expansion, Kalgan posted about one of them on the forums. Keep in mind that it's just an idea and it could perfectly not be included in the final version of the expansion.
Mages will also get a few nice things, especially when it comes to warlocks/mages balancing in PvP.

In fact, we intend to tone down how strong of a counter warlocks are to mages through the wotlk spells/talents.[/blizzquote"]
WotLK - Lake Wintergrasp popularity
If you've been asking yourself if Lake Wintergrasp (the expansion outdoor PvP zone) will be popular or not, it seems that Blizzard is fairly confident about its future success.
[blizzquote="Bornakk;http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=5103944672&postId=51032074991&sid=1#20]Based on the information we already know, I think it will be more active than Halaa because one of the things that hurt Halaa was the Diminishing Returns on honor points. With this removed in patch 2.4 people will be able to continue piling up honor points until they've had enough. I know rewards play a huge factor, so with the knowledge that people have now of items we've made available through honor points, I think it will continue to be a busy place for a long time.[/blizzquote"]
US Realms - Central US Internet issues
If you've been high latency and unusual things on US realms, you might want to watch updates on this thread.
[blizzquote="Drysc;http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=5103824862&postId=51032473021&sid=1#0]A network degradation outside of the Blizzard network is currently impacting several World of Warcraft realms. Players attempting to access the impacted realms may be experiencing high network latency, packet loss, disconnections or inability to connect. We are actively receiving updates from the parties involved and have been assured that the issue is actively being worked on; however, we have not yet received any estimates for when a resolution may occur. We will continue to provide updates as we receive further information.[/blizzquote"]
