Icecrown Citadel Buff increased to 15%
The Hellscream’s Warsong and Strength of Wrynn buffs in Icecrown Citadel have been increased to 15%. So far, only 9 guilds killed the Lich King in 25-Man Heroic mode, 8 of them with a 10% buff, and 1 with the 5% buff.

Around Azeroth: Bad to the bloom

Some people are just constitutionally incapable of badassery. After spending an ungodly amount of time and money on his motorcycle, leather jacket and protective shoulderpads, Molocai of <Abaddon> on Sentinels had to ruin it by putting on a skirt and bunny ears and going to Silithus to plant flowers. It’s like completing your initiation into the Hell’s Angels and then riding your hog to your kid’s school to chaperone a field trip.
Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We’d love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as emailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word “Azeroth” in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing; use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, Val’kyr on mounts or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran. Older screenshots can be found here.

- Death Knight – April 8
- Rogue – April 8
- Hunter – April 9

This is just one more step in the deluge of Cataclysm info being passed on to us before the beginning of the encroaching beta phase of testing. Expect more and more of this in the next few weeks, because we’re certain to see it. Check behind the cut below for the full blue post from Bashiok. It’s a long one.

A quick and dirty guide to rage normalization for bears
by Allison Robert on Apr 7th 2010 (2 hours ago)
I started playing after Burning Crusade launched, so I don’t have any personal history with the rage normalization fiasco that happened in the transition to BC. I’m told by old warrior hands that it went something like this:
Blizzard: We’re normalizing rage.
Warriors: What does that mean?
Blizzard: It means that normally you won’t have any.
Warriors: … oh.
Right now, all of what we know concerning rage normalization for Cataclysm can be found in this post here. I won’t repeat stuff we already know but try to look into how the changes will affect bear tanking. Rossi covered the expected effect on warriors yesterday, and while we share a number of these changes, there are a few wrinkles that I expect will have a specific impact on bears.Read more →

New scam targets the WoW Launcher
by Matthew Rossi Mar 31st 2010 at 11:00AM
As you can see from the screenshot above (large version here) the real launcher apparently is replaced with a fake launcher that sends the user to a web site that pretends to be official, asking for subscription information (including answers to secret questions and the original CD-Key) in what is meant to appear as the means to restore a supposedly suspended account. One of the telltale signs that this isn’t legit, besides the very invasive information requested, is the version number in the upper left corner of the screen. We’re way past patch 3.1.1 — however not everyone might know this.
Ancilorn posts confirming that this is not genuine (reiterating that they will never ask for your password in such a manner, and also requesting that such things be sent directly to Blizzard if they happen to you). Goes to show that as security is increased, those looking to breach it become more desperate.
