[blizzquote="Zarhym;http://blue.mmo-champion.com/12/16903640039-ulduar-10player-hard-mode-weapons-update.html]In order to better reward players for completing hard mode encounters in 10-player Ulduar, we will be updating weapon rewards from these hard mode encounters to an item level of 232 in the next minor patch. Players already with these items should see an increase in the power of these items to better reflect the new item level. [/blizzquote"]
A few more items were also changed for various reasons. (Stats additions or redistribution, weapon speed changed, and texture fixed for)HTML Code:[url="/i/news/2009/may/ptr_9901_40.jpg"][b]<font color="#A335EE">Conqueror's Darkruned Legguards</font>[/b][/url]
Please also note that due to the low amount of players on test realms, I couldn't get the stats of all the items here but most of them should be listed below.

Ventrilo Servers - MLG VoiceOriginally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
A few weeks ago, Major League Gaming (the parent company of MMO-Champion) launched a new ventrilo hosting service called MLG Voice.
First I would like to thanks all the people who signed up and who now use our services, your support to this site is much appreciated and will hopefully help improving it in the long run.
I would also like to point out that the servers listed on the right of MLG Voice are test servers that anyone can use to check the quality of the service before ordering. All you need is Ventrilo installed on your computer and clicking the connect link should work just fine (if you have a decent browser, but I'm sure you do)
Comics
