Cataclysm Release Party Live!
I bring a message from the legendary
Mike B aka Fony
!
Here's the deal: Mike, GameBreaker.TV, Lore, and a ton of guests are doing a live broadcast from Best Buy in Grand Rapids, MI, and GameStop in San Francisco, CA.
They're kicking things off around 8PM and are gonna push it until the party is over, and following that Lore is going to make an attempt for world first: Greatest American Hero Hair'd Paladin, and Mike is... just going to feed him grapes or something.

Cataclysm Preview: New Profession Info
Cataclysm is tomorrow (or today really), and one of the (many) things that will become available when the clock strikes midnight is the new professions.
Not only will everyone have access to the new profession,
Archaeology
, they'll also be able to level the existing professions up to 525 skill—for a rank of
Illustrious Grand Master!
We have (of course) written up a preview of all the professions, archaeology included, below. Like many of these posts, this content has been posted in our
Cataclysm Guide
for a while now, but this seemed like a good time to make sure you guys had quick and easy access to all the info. So check it after the break!

New Battle.net Website—Featuring Wowhead Links
Blizzard has officially launched the new Battle.net website, with a special bonus feature that we haven't been able to talk about until now:
Wowhead links!
You can now find links to Wowhead all over the Armory database! Item pages, character pages, search listings, even the talent calculator—all have convenient links to your favorite WoW database.
We're really honored to be chosen to be part of this new Blizzard venture—and we're looking forward to continued cooperation with Blizzard in the future. :)
Of course, that's not the
only
awesome thing in the new
Battle.net
(just the most important)—there's a ton of other awesome stuff, including
raid progression and recommendations
on the Armory,

,
tooltips in the forums

New Feature Preview: Forum Signatures
Wowhead is beta-testing a new feature:
Character-based forum signatures!
Right now,
anyone with a premium account can try them out
, and you can use them here on Wowhead or on any other forum that accepts image embeds. Here's how you get set up:
Creating a signature
Claim a character. To do this, look up your character on the
Profiler
. Hit the button, and select
Claim Character
.
Once the character is claimed, click the button and select
Signature
.
Once you're there, this will take you to the
signature page!
Here you can edit all sorts of things—what statistics your signature shows, background colors, text colors, and so forth. You can adjust the color of the background from a simple gradient to any of a number of "Wowhead backgrounds" (which we borrowed from the in-game cloak textures). You can even upload your own!
Once you have your signature finished, click
Submit
and your signature will be saved to your user page, under the
Signatures
tab. You can see

Request for Feedback: Possible New CAPTCHA System
Wowhead uses a CAPTCHA system to prevent spam comments or forum posts from bots. We switched a little while ago to a system called
reCAPTCHA
, which were excited about since it lets you help with a book digitizing project while you fill out CAPTCHAs. Unfortunately, reCAPTCHA has caused a few issues as many of you know—providing words to type that weren't legible, or which used non ASCII symbols. For example, we got this feedback less than an hour ago:
http://i53.tinypic.com/24qu5ip.jpg
my Captcha, which I interpreted as "frentlea cf" Surprisingly it actually accepted "frentlea cf" as a correct response and posted my message.
But seriously, what is that? cftvth? cfwth? cfwtb? cnvtb? Well, cf it is then.
So we've been looking at alternatives!

More Hotfixes, or "Why Gamon Will Wreck You"
There's a new round of hotfixes going up on live servers, and this batch includes yet another round of buffs to Gamon!
November 30
Gamon is now immune to all forms of crowd control, uses the abilities Charge and Battle Shout, and wrecks adversaries with his new two-handed axe.
Players should no longer be prevented from entering a Battleground for no reason.
Many loot tables for NPCs have been adjusted to provide the correct items and scaling.
The Alchemy bonus from Flask of Stoneskin now grants 120 stamina, up from 80 stamina, to keep it in-line with similar bonuses from other professions.
Many creatures in Uldaman were not awarding reputation upon death. This has been corrected.
Wrathbone Reavers, Wrathbone Sorcerers, and Fallen Warriors no longer grant reputation in Pit of Saron.
Players can again start the Thrall escape event in Caverns of Time: Old Hillsbrad regardless of quest status.
The temporary guardian Basalt Rockling no longer drops from Balboa in Azshara.
Magma-Lord Kolob in Burning Steppes no longer awards dungeon tabard reputation.

Experience Reduced for Dungeon Quests
Looks like Zarhym just jumped on to post that
Experience for 1-60 dungeon quests is being significantly reduced.
We are applying a hotfix today to all level 1-60 dungeon quests for Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms dungeons which will significantly reduce the amount of experience they award.
While dungeons should remain integral to our evolving storylines, and great places to collect gear in cooperative environments, we need to make sure each player’s questing progress remains relevant as dungeon quests are completed. In many cases we’re seeing players enter dungeons to complete quests, only to come out ahead of the leveling curve for the zones they’re in.
This change should allow players the opportunity to reap the benefits of running dungeons, while not outpacing the leveling flow from levels 1-60. At this time there are no plans for making any adjustments to dungeon quest experience for Outland, Northrend, and level 80+ Cataclysm dungeons.
You can find a list of all of the latest hotfixes here:

I don't know about you guys, but I'm really happy about this. I love

Hotfixes and Mysterious Patch Download
We mentioned this on
Twitter
and
Facebook
, but I figured it'd be good to get this posted here as well: The Blizzard folks have released another round of hotfixes onto official servers, and a brand new patch download.
This download is not a new patch.
It's actually a re-push of Blizzard's
last
patch, because some people got an incomplete download the last round.
It's not a new patch, it's actually "re-downloading" data which will replace current files. It's intended to resolve a few issues including disconnects and 'pink squares'.
As it's not a patch, if you're extremely eager to get into the game (or it's taking too long) you can actually bypass the launcher and run the wow.exe in your game directory and play normally. You can then continue on downloading it later after you're done playing.
We've also had a bunch of new hotfixes deployed on live servers, as listed by Zarhym below. Check after the break to see them:

Reminder: WoW 6th Anniversary Begins Tonight
Just as a quick reminder—even though WoW's 6th anniversary was technically on November 23rd, the anniversary Feat of Strength goes into effect on
November 30th!
If you're on an EU server, you can already get the
6.º aniversario de WoW
achievement just by logging in right now. US servers will have to wait until midnight before the achievements go live on their servers.
If our sources are correct, you should have until
December 14th

Personalized Search Update: Now Works On All Completion Data
Remember when we posted yesterday to let you know about our new
Personalized Quest Searches
?
Well we've published a little tweak to update it—you can now filter
any search you have completion data for, based on whether or not you've completed it!
That means you can sort out any of the following categories based on whether or not you've completed them:
Mounts
Companions
Recipes
Quests
(of course)
Achievements
Titles
Factions
(so you can sort by which ones you have at Exalted and which ones you don't)
There's a lot of potential here, and I'm really eager to see how you guys use it. Let us know!

New Feature: Personalized Searches
You guys are going to love this:
you can now display search results based on whether or not your character has completed them!
Here's how it's done:
Upload character data using the
Wowhead Client
.
This won't work unless you have quest data uploaded for the character you want to use!
Go to the character you want to use as your main.
Once your data is upload, the character should appear on your
user page
, or in the dropdown user menu at the top right.* I'm using
Malgayne
as an example.
Click the button.
Now go browse through a category we show completion data for—
quest listings
are one good example.
There should be a new section at the bottom of the filters, labelled
Completion
.
Now, just click "Available" or "Unavailable" to only show quests that are available (or unavailable) to your pinned character!
The real power of this comes when you view a list of quests for a zone, then you filter for ones that are 'available' and for your faction. This will give y
