World of Warcraft hotfixes for February 25
Proving that there's no rest for the weary, we've already got our first round of hotfixes after this week's patch 6.1 rollout. On offer: an awful lot of bug fixes. Read on for the complete details.
Want to use Twitter in WoW? You’ll have to turn on Real ID first

Breakfast Topic: The trouble with addons
I don't typically run with an elaborate addon configuration in World of Warcraft, and patch day is most of the reason why.

Breakfast Topic: Your first character
Blizzard games have been in circulation for a long time, and that can mean it's been while between the time you created your first character and today.
