Event Alert (Addons)

A rave review of Event Alert, an addon that lets a player know when a proc-based attack occurs. If you ever got tired of wondering when that special effect might occur, this is the addon for you.  Wonder if your character is likely to need this?  Jesse lists all the procs by class to help you decide.

Free PvE Realm Transfers Announced

The list of places one can transfer from/to is here.
http://www.wow.com/2010/05/25/free-realm-transfers-announced/

The article links to a 2009 article about how PvE realms are the ones with too many players, not PvP realms.   I expect this to spark discussion as to how this will impact the PvP changes Blizzard is contemplating with Cataclysm.
http://www.wow.com/2009/01/09/no-pve-servers-are-under-populated/

If you are curious, this site is supposed to list how U.S. servers are doing.  The FAQ tab has info about how/what they measure.
