Cataclysm Shakes Up the Guilds

The changes to the guild system that BlizzCon announced last weekend will arrive when Cataclysm does. Several folks are talking about the possibilies already.

As far as I can tell the Solo MMO Player's realm has only a few raiding guilds but a lot that are either leveling guilds (where a Level 80 character walks the newer characters through instances) or run only for the benefit of the officers (join our guild and pay into the guild bank and we'll ask you to run an instance but only if we get the loot). This may or may not make a difference in the lack of raiding, but it'll certainly change things somehow.

I've Been Wondering About Authenticator Battery Life

...and apparently so is The Queue. After all, if the battery gives out, how do you access your account? Turns out the battery is supposed to have a 7 year minimum life span. The article goes on to explain what to do if your authenticator goes on the fritz.
