The website will be turned inactive in another month and a half (unless someone wants to pay the 8 bucks a month). Other than the occasional vote on the polls section it doesn't seem there has been much activity. If you have any information you want off of it you'll want to do so before then.

Twas fun, if anyone knows of a guild that raids like two-three days a week 8-11 ish central hit me up. =D

The only thing that really caught me be surprise was emblems of conquest dropping... everywhere.

Edit: And you can see quest items on the world map, and Casting bars under a target's portrait will now indicate whether or not the cast can be interrupted. That second one would be nice so we no longer have to play the "can that be interrupted game". And the new raid is just going to be the coliseum, along with a 5 man somewhere. The raid will have 4 modes, 10 player, 25 player, and then heroic version of both. I'm unclear as to how that is all going to work.

A new preview - sans screenshots - has been added for the new battleground coming in patch 3.2. It sounds like an updated AV. Siege vehicles (including airships of some type), walls, keeps, capture points, and a reinforcement count.

AV lost it's appeal to me quite a long time ago, although I must say even a month or so after it was released it lost it's shinyness. WSG is alright, and I still do the occasional AB just for fun. I like Strand quite a bit, and enjoy WG quite a lot. Assuming no lag issues...

This new battleground sounds quite cool if done right. I hope we get to pilot the airships(/planes?) ourselves and they don't go on a set path.

The full preview is on the main WoW site.
