Leord — 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00

From our adventures at WWI, we have some pictures to show for it (screenshot, or it didn't happen, etc...).

Maticus — 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00

People have asked on the official forums if we can expect to see another event similar to the Scourge invasion which took place when Naxxramas was released. Game designer Kisirani gave some insight into how Blizzard approach these in-game events, what prompts them to make them, and how they decide what the majority of players want.

Kalos — 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00

Something that just caught my eye as I was surfing [URL="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/02/the9_supercomputer/"]The Register[/URL], basically an article regarding The9 and their ownership of some of the most powerful supercomputers in China.
