Cataclysm: Cold Weather Flying Level & Price Reduced
It seems Blizzard snuck in a nice little change in the latest Cataclysm beta -
Vol par temps froid
is now
and available at level 68 from your friendly local flight trainers!
Hopefully this will help all those who are leveling new characters in Cataclysm get through Northrend a little easier.

Cataclysm Beta (Build 12984) New Map, Icons, Achievements & More!
Blizzard surprised us with a new beta build over the weekend and we now have site
Cataclysm

talent calculator

Included in this update were several new achievements including the amusing
which requires you to do a mini-game much like Popcap's
Plants vs. Zombies
. You can check out all the new achievements along with some more goodies over on our
Latest Additions

Only one map was added in the new build - this time it's a new one of

PowerPC Macs No Longer Supported With Cataclysm
Hello, I'm Karadactyl! I've been doing some work on the Cataclysm guide, and now I'm posting blogs! Now, on to the meat and potatoes.
According to Blizzard, soon before the release of Cataclysm, PowerPC Macs will no longer be supported. Attempting to run the patched client via a Mac PPC will cause an error stating that the game cannot run on that architecture. This, obviously, applies to the Cataclysm Beta as well.
The full blue post with all the details is after the break!

Cataclysm Preview: The Battle for Gilneas
Blizzard has released another preview, this time of the new battleground coming in Cataclysm -
La bataille de Gilnéas
! This new 10 vs 10 battleground will take place in the actual city of Gilneas, and feature many familiar objectives. Much like
Bassin Arathi
, you must control
one of three capture points
that accumulate points - first team to 2000 points is the victor! What's so great about this map that it's actually
in
the city so there are all kinds of choke points and places you can strategically block the opposite faction from progressing.
You can read the entire preview after the break or on Blizzard's official
website

4.0.1 Now Available on the Background Downloader
It seems when users start up their launchers on the live client you will be greeted with a nice message that says --
Data for the next patch is available.
What does this mean everyone? It means we have finally begun the pre-loading of the 4.0.1 patch. Usually spread out over weeks prior to the release of a major content patch users can grab a huge chunk of the already completed items in the patch so not everything is downloaded on patch day.
To get the background downloader started all you should have to do is boot up the Launcher and make sure you have the options enabled to download in the background.

4.0.1 Public Test Realm Now Active!
Blizzard has just launched the

Archaeology on Beta Servers (12942)
Hey there, it's your local silverly reporter with another batch of
very
interesting stuff -
Archaeology
! The brand new shiny secondary profession was added to beta build 12942 (the latest one, if you are reading this fairly recently after it is posted), and I've had the chance to go test it out. Let me tell you, it's absolutely amazing! I may be a little biased, because it's new and different from all the other professions, but I honestly thing it's a very interesting thing in and of itself.
But I do tend to ramble - let me show you a few things about it!

Official Cataclysm Ashenvale Preview
Blizzard has once again graced us with another zone preview - this time with quest designers
Eric Maloof
and
Steve Burke
, who talk about the changes coming to
Orneval
in Cataclysm. Eric and Steve go on to talk about the new volcano that has erupted in northern Ashenvale, and how the Horde are taking over key points that were once held by the Alliance. They wrap up the preview by discussing what changed most in Ashenvale, and according to Eric and Steve the terrain is less frustrating than before but the story hasn't changed much—other than being much more intense!
You can check out the entire preview after the break and while you're at it you can check out all of our screenshots of Ashenvale in our

Cataclysm Update: Getting Licensed to Fly in Azeroth!
Zarhym
has just posted a rather big announcement on the Cataclysm Beta forums - a new flight skill will be added for all players once they reach level 60. This new skill is called
Flight Master's License
and this skill will be required to fly in both Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor which includes all the new zones.
Update:
Zarhym has updated the original post stating that the new flight skill will cost

We’ve added a new flying skill called Flight Master's License. When World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is released, players who purchase the expansion will see this skill available from flight trainers for 250 gold once they reach level 60. This new skill is required for flying around all Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms zones, including the new level 80-85 zones.

Cataclysm Beta (Build 12942) 3D Models Added!
New Cataclysm model goodness! No "major character" models this patch, and unfortunately no new armor sets like in our
previous post
. However, as a firm appreciator of raptors I must give this latest update two thumbs up for the awesome, updated skeletal raptor mount model - even if it doesn't make any sense. Then again, we ride on horses made of stars so what's my problem with a skeleton? At least it has
real bones
.
We've got a few new NPC models, including the
Terrastra
, the Earth Twilight Ascendant! I've included the previous Ascendants as well, so we can see the Twilight Ascendant Council in full form! I can't wait to see these bad boys in
Le bastion du Crépuscule
... erm, assuming they're all boys. Do they even have genders? I've confused myself. Anyway, check out all of the models below!

Cataclysm Icon Update (Build 12942)! New Armor Icons, Archaeology, Herbalism and more!
Once again we've found a ton of new icons added in the latest Cataclysm beta patch! Admittedly, most of these icons aren't as cool icons as ones in our
previous post

Blizzard Updates Troll & Worgen Druid Forms, We've Got 3D Models!
Blizzard has released a sneak peek at the
Troll
and
Worgen
druid feral forms in what appear to be their (mostly) finalized versions! Blue bears and neckbeard bears, ho! I'll be perfectly honest, the troll druids are enough to make me consider race changing. I want stripes! Why you do dis, mon? We've also got 3D models for all of the new troll and druid feral forms so you can check out the awesome new fur styling in full detail!
We've applied some finishing touches to the new cat and bear forms available to troll and worgen druids in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. We’re excited to share them with you today.

Cataclysm Beta (Build 12857): New Glyph UI + Eclipse Bar Redesign
You may have remembered hearing that
Glyphs
were changing from consumable items to learnable skills. Last build we saw the makings of that—now, when you use a glyph, it goes into your general tab of the spellbook, ready to be used whenever you want to place it. Well in this latest build Blizzard has taken it a step futher and given the glyphs tab of your talent frame a complete makeover!
First off they've vastly increased the size of the frame—it's now the same size as the talent frame. You now have
NINE
glyphs to select: 3 Prime, 3 Major, and 3 Minor. On the right side of the panel you will have a list of all learned and unlearned glyphs. Blizzard was also kind enough to add some advanced glyph searching! No need to scroll down the list forever trying to find that one pesky glyph to switch in.

Cataclysm Map Update! New Classic / Cataclysm Dungeon + Raid Maps and More!
Epic map update! We've got
tons
of new maps straight from the latest Cataclysm beta patch, including new maps for classic dungeons and raids! Hopefully leveling in the newly streamlined Cataclysm questing zones doesn't go too fast so players will actually have a use for 'em! At least players will no longer have to discover a low level dungeon before being able to queue for it. Now all they need is to add a tour guide to
Temple englouti
- you may laugh, but they actually
did
add tour guide NPCs to a certain quest in one of those horrible night elf barrow dens! Ever get lost in one of those for an hour or so? Yeesh.
Check out all the cartographical coolness after the break!

Cataclysm Icon Update (Build 12857) featuring Archaeology, Tabards and more!
Our beloved "silent co-developer"
mystadio
has yet again dug up some cool new icons from the latest Cataclysm beta patch, including icons for some interesting new archaeology items and more! I'm sure we'll see the items (or related spells, at least) added to our
Archaeology category
in a future patch, but in the meantime we can speculate on how awesome they're going to be just from the filenames. :)
We've got a few changed icons, as well, including a much-needed update to the
icon (that I'm probably the only person who absolutely hated). We've also got some snazzy new item icons, including icons for some
new tabards
, some which may still be placeholders but many of which we've never seen before! Personally, I think my druid will probably still stick to her beloved
Tabard de bataille des Profanateurs
but that new Forsaken one is TOO AWESOME; a much needed alternative to the "only decent black tabard"
Tabard de la Lame d'ébène

Cataclysm Model Update - New Armor Sets, Minerals and Armadillos! What?
Blizzard just unleashed yet another patch to the Cataclysm beta last night, and with that comes more Cataclysmic model goodness! We've got some interesting new armor set models for each specialization (cloth, leather, plate and mail) and a few new weapons (including what appears to be Deathwing's mace)! We've also found some Cataclysm mineral vein models, a few new objects, and
armadillos
. I know you guys were thinking, "Man, how could Blizzard EVER top camels? Seriously!" - WELL WE'VE GOT ARMADILLOS NOW. I bet these little buggers roll around all sorts of awesomely. I wonder which one is going to be our new
Bébé tatou
companion pet? With all these domestic critters getting added, maybe we'll get our moose just yet!
We've got pretty pictures of all the model sets that you guys can click to view the armor on the race / gender of your choice in our 3D Model Viewer, so no complaining about any bias in selection of races, okay? Check out the full blog to view 'em all!

Cataclysm: Heroic Shadowfang Keep and Deadmines Available at Launch
I know you all heard the bad news that heroic modes for
Les Mortemines
and
Donjon d’Ombrecroc
wouldn't make it in for the launch of Cataclysm. Thankfully, it seems the original appraisal was wrong!
Valnoth
has come along and posted an announcement stating they

have the heroic modes for both SFK and DM at launch!
Heroics are not ready for testing.
Heroic Shadowfang Keep and Heroic Deadmines
