New Battle.net Features UPDATED

Blizzard announces new Battle.net features:  it ties in to Facebook and there will be some sort of system that allows one to connect with friends.

No word on the one feature we all want--strengthening of Battle.net's security.

UPDATE:  Mike has written a bit about how the social networking aspects of Battle.net probably work.  There's lots more information here about other WOW-related things as well.

Guild Bank Information

Yesterday's article about thefts from a guild bank got me curious about how they work. The Blizzard WOW site doesn't have much information but I did find these two helpful articles elsewhere.  They are not recent but hopefully there haven't been many changes to how guild banks work.  The first article is the most complete.  The others talk about things such as managing the tabs.

ABCs for Discipline Priests

The ABCs of discipline priests are Always Be Casting.  That's not all in this article, however.  It is full of tips for discipline priests to up their output, whether it is mitigation or healing.

MoarHPS takes the ABC mantra a little further by applying it to all healers.
