PvP Terrain Exploits

How do terrain exploits differ from regular PvP moves?  Cynwise talks about Blizzard's rule against exploits, how this applies to PvP and the problems inherent in figuring out just what is bannable and what isn't in the PvP world.

Naming Violations Rampant

Metaneria points out all the naming violations she sees in-game and wishes Blizzard would do more to control the idiocy and rampant abuse.

Shaman Site

I stumbled across mention of a shaman site while reading blogs this morning.  Sadly I can't remember who mentioned this, but it looks like a great shammy resource.  It's been added to the Shaman Tab and also to the Favorite Links.

Cataclysm Changes Alert

BBB just learned that when Cataclysm hits, Zul'Gurub (a 20 man raid in Vanilla WOW) will disappear.  Some mage Polymorth spells can be gotten here and there are rare mounts, too.  No one knows if these items will be moved to another portion of the game, so if you are interested, read the two links below.


By the way, there have been changes to the UI in the beta that have a nice Eclipse bar.   Druids may want to check out the photos here.
