New Alliance Race/ 1.11 Notes
The upcoming World of Warcraft expansion has a number of mysteries associated with it, and one of the most often discussed is 'what will the new Alliance race be'? Blizzard has finally unveiled their plans: The new race is the ethereal wisp. Additionally, community mod Caydiem is back on the official forums and has official details on the upcoming 1.11 patch. From those notes: "- Each player will only be allowed to pick up one flag per game in Warsong Gulch. While this decision is slightly restrictive, we do feel the value of teamwork it will teach by allowing each player more opportunity to shine outweighs any negative side-effect. - New Level 1 only Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin bracket available! - If a match-up begins and drops everyone due to lack a lack of players, Horde automatically wins."
I personally work for blizzard, and I feel that the introduction of Wisps allows a new and exciting game mechanic: permanent death. The ability that destroyed Archimonde is available to all Wisps as a racial ability. This power, Detonate, destroys the Wisp in an explosion of energy, sapping the mana of all surrounding adventurers, friend and foe alike. This should provide an extremely interesting addition to the many adventures of Warcraft, particularly when pitted against other players!

This is something I pushed for greatly and I hope that the gaming crowd enjoys it

Hey are we sure all the last couple of stories are April Fools jokes or is just Zonks usual style?
"I'm going to f***ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to f***ing kill Google"
That Blizzard work more on "the game" and less of "OMGWTFBBQSAUCE"
/tired of fluff
I tried to think of a good sig, and this wasn't it.
Gag me with a smurfette!
...because that made absolutely no sense to me.
"Things are more moderner than before- bigger, and yet smaller- it's computers-- San Dimas High School football RULES!"
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur. This is really a wise saying and, since It is April 1st, mod me up.
and then I realized it was permament death. I found Microsoft's story about reintroducing the XBox 360 in Japan more amusing.
Ooo man the floppy drive is broken. No wait. The computer is just upside down.
Why is all posts, even the true ones, labelled as gay (??) and April Fool's?
Just because it was posted that day, doesn't mean it has anything to do with an April Fool's joke.
Beware: In C++, your friends can see your privates!
On the page, you can see a Wisp with a beard and moustache. ;> The page talks about how you can choose a wide variety of facial hair for your Wisp.
Makes it look like a villain from a bad '80s cartoon...
With spending like this, exactly what are "conservatives" conserving?

From my WoW PvP experience, i was under the impression this already happened.
I understood a good deal of it; I played WC3 (but not WoW) a few years ago. And y'know what? It's still not funny.

Only the 5 million people who play World of Warcraft and a 2 or 3 million who play other MMORPGs. Certainly no one here at Slashdot.
APRIL FOOLS!
