Check out my new trinket! [Super Simian Sphere]

This trinket dropped on a Naxx10 run last Saturday! If you look it up on WowHead then you’ll see that it seems to drop from any WOTLK instance.
I actually lost the /roll on the item but I payed the winner 1000g for it, not bad considering that character was an alt.

Additional Instances Cannot Be launched
Still have troubles with zoning into an instance? Check out the post below for updates!
The limit on active instances was originally implemented as an interim solution to ensure that all active instances perform smoothly. Within the last few weeks, we have configured and optimized our infrastructure to better handle the instance load, and many players are no longer experiencing issues with instance creation. However, to incorporate these upgrades across every realm is not a minor undertaking; it requires fairly complex coordination with third party affiliates who actually host the hardware we utilize.
This reconfiguration is already complete on more than 40% of the North American realms,the optimized realms are listed below, and the situation has noticeably improved on these realms. We are continuing to work towards the implementation of this reconfiguration for all realms, which we expect will resolve the instance creation issue for all players. We expect the optimization for all realms to be fully completed within the coming weeks, and would like to assure everyone that every effort is being made to ensure that this is completed as soon as possible.

Goblin Was the Race – Video
New Release from MadCowStudios.
“With the announcement of the Cataclysm expansion I decided to take a night off the book and mess around with a video. This is the result. Production values suck, but I mashed it together in a night, so it is what it is. I got a few laughs out of it though.” – Nyhm

Blizzcon ‘09 Part Two & Ozzy
Blizzcon 2009 is coming to an end tonight — the closing ceremonies is on as I post this.
Ozzy Concert at Blizzcon 2009
There was some great info released this year, especially about WoW: Cataclysm. I did watch some of the others panels today relating to Starcraft II and Diablo III. I’ll probably buy Starcraft II when it’s released, maybe I’ll win a beta key for it.

The concert was crazy!

Blizzcon ’09 Part One
There are over 20,000 people attending Blizzcon 2009 including millions? online too.
- Blizzcon 2009 -Dance Contest
I am not attending Blizzcon this year sadly but I’ve been watching it all day thanks to the online-stream service! For only $40 you get access to 18+ hours of live Blizzcon plus the Grunty murloc marine pet. Today was the first day of two for Blizzcon and I definitively do not regret buying the online-stream.
There were a lot of cool costumes for the contest and the dance contest is still in progress as I post this. Some were great but there others just didn’t ‘have it’.
As everyone knows from MMO-Champion or WoWInsider (or in-game Trade Chat), the next expansion is official now: Cataclysm.
During the Class Discussions panel, the Warlock change for Soul Shards was mentioned. MMO-Champion has a good post on it already:
- Soul Shards are no longer in your bags. The goal is to make them fun, not a hassle.
- Soul Shards will be integrated to the user interface. (Just like Death Knight runes)
- You get three shards per fight, they will regen very quickly out of combat.
- It will be possible to get more for long fights or mistakes through Drain Soul.
- Soul Burn (New Spell) : Cost 1 Shard, 30 sec cooldown, off the GCD. Empowers your next spell, many (not all spells) behave differently when empowered.
- They are only used in combat, summons or demons won’t use your shards.

After a lucky Mr. Pinchy catch, I finished up the remaing achievements which was really just the [One That Didn't Get Away].
Ironbound Proto-Drake
Because the Rusted Proto-Drake was sooo last week.
I’m very happy that [Disarmed] did not bug out on us. And now I’m riding this baby (as seen above).
What now… Zero-Light Yogg Saron of course!
Forums are Online
May I introduce you to the Nowhere Left Website Forums!
My old guild seems to be falling apart for good this time. Between folks who are still in that guild and others who have left recently (or even months ago) — I figured that if I setup some forums then my friends could use them.
If nothing, I can use this as a way of email (private message feature) to share links and such with some old friends. I invite anyone to register/join — unless you’re a nuisance, otherwise you’ll be fine. Forum pwns Email – Forum Link
Do You Wanna Date My Avatar – Video
I’ve been fishing in the Dalaran Fountain the last few days.
So far I have [A Penny For Your Thoughts] and [Silver in the City].
Anyways, there is a new video from The Guild that I thought was worth mentioning.
The Guild – Do You Wanna Date My Avatar
Almost there… feeling Disarmed
Many tonight rejoice in my guild <Bad Mojo>.
Tonight is the night that we’ve conquered [One Light in the Darkness (25 player)], the last achievement many needed to complete there meta for the wonderful proto-drake.
We took out Iron Dwarf, Medium Rare after killing Yogg with One light because many, like me, still needed that achievement.
Now the only achievement I need is the silly [Disarmed] one off of Kologarn to complete my meta.
