The Greedy Goblin Invents the Wintergrasp Battleground-Kick Addon

Blessings of Kings talks about the Greedy Goblin's latest idea, an addon that kicks folks from Battlegrounds if they aren't contributing.  This works something like the way the raid-kick feature works in dungeon finder and as far as I know, it is for Wintergrasp only.

Pre-Cataclysm Events Start (Elemental Invasion)

Information about the Elemental Invasion in remote outposts and several larger cities and the Twilight Cultists quest line is now available.  Start here to get information but note WOW Head says not everything is available yet in the quest line.  All this will probably end when Patch 4.0.3 The Shattering hits.
