We covered Blizzard's SDCC exclusives, but now that their panel at the con is over (though the Warcraft movie panel is yet to come), what did we learn?

I know a lot of players who argue that the story in MMOs like World of Warcraft is less important than the play experience.
Shadow Word: The importance of Void Entropy

Not too long ago, Celestalon took to the forums to post a reply to a very well thought-out breakdown of Shadow Priests heading into patch 6.2. The entire post is quite lengthy, but to any dedicated Shadow Priest, it’s a must-read (as is the reply from Celestalon). Instead of reiterating points made in the post, I wanted to take a moment to address a specific part of Celestalon's response about Blizzard's idea of what it means to be Shadow: (more…)

And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;
“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”

That gave me the idea to stop by Varian's place and see how I measured up."
Breakfast Topic: Do you feel done with Draenor?
