PTR testing in action

Players were allowed to check out the first bosses in the new raid and dungeon instances on the PTR today. Players prepare for the onslaught of Ice Crown, and the potential to defeat Arthus. The colloseum is going to offer a variety of different Hord and Alliance volunteers to help train the troops.

Today, players got to test their skills against the twin valkyrs, Fjola Lightbane and Eydis Darkbane, and they also got to face Lord Jaraxxus (Prince's twin brother?!). Check out the Test Realm forums for what players thought of it all.

But I want a red dress!

With the unveiling of the artwork for the tier nine armor sets, scheduled for release with patch 3.2, concern has been expressed right across the forums about the lack of variety in armor between classes. This time around, Blizzard have gone for color variations only between the three different armor categories.

Late last week, Blizzard unveiled three cloth sets for Alliane and two male sets for Horde. The cloth sets are identical in every way except color. So unless you know your colors, all warlocks, mages and priests are going to look like each other. On the other hand, Horde and Alliance will look different.

I'm still not too sure whether this is going to be a good thing. I for one am not too keen on looking like a sharman. God forbid they put hunters in dresses!

Win a trip to Blizzcon 2009

Blizzard have just announced, on their front page, a competition for an all expenses paid trip to Blizzcon 2009. This is great ... er ... if you live in the US or Canada. If not, stiff bickies!!

The competition is sponsored by BradyGames, Jinx, SwagDog & Upper Deck and SteelSeries.

There are also 15 runner up prizes of 2000 gold, oops, I mean dollars, worth of WoW related loot like gift certificates, trading cards, t-shirts, etc. Unfortunately, again, it's only for the US and Canada.

I cannot believe they'd invite Canadians not us Aussies!! :) Check it all out here.
