Triple XP, Personal Teleport, Zhevra mount!  All yours for the low, low price of another account (or I suppose you could invite a friend too)!

Serenity, a 25 player raid by Faded and Trimmers has their first raid on August 7th, 2007. By all accounts it was a great success, clearing Gruul's Lair and downing the Lurker Below. All in Serenity's first night of existence! More details on the raid can be found here on the Serenity News boards.

Congrats to Serenity and all Trimmers involved!

High King Maulgar and Gruul the Dragonkiller, the Trimmers come for you! The Trimmers' first 25 Player TBC Raid is now forming! We have 3 healer slots and 6 dps slots yet to fill, along with many bench slots for those with challenging schedules. For more information Trimmers can see the official post about the raid. Trimmers can sign up for the raid here. Any members of other guilds who are interested in joining us, we certainly have room for your participation and we would love to have you with us! You can PM me (Morchaint) on these forums or contact me in game. Gruul, we will be dropping by to visit soon!

In true Trimmer fashion, the first Burning Crusade raid team has progressed rapidly and successfully through Karazhan. A chart of the raid team's progression can be viewed here. Only Nightbane remains alive, and with an attempt scheduled for tomorrow, hopefully that will no longer be true! Congrats Trimmers and good luck tomorrow!

2.1.2 patch went live today. Here are the patch notes.

The World of Warcraft Armory has been expanded with a new dimension of information and functionality - the Item Database!

The Armory's Item Database is a comprehensive searchable database of the items of World of Warcraft. As the only official item database for World of Warcraft, it has the exclusive ability to draw information from the actual game servers and is integrated with the Armory's character profiles. It's also designed for ease of use – to give you the items you're looking for as quickly and easily as possible.

Long ago on Draenor, the Temple of Karabor was the center of draenei worship. But the devout priests who prayed there are long dead, slaughtered by marauding, demonically corrupted orcs. In the massacre's aftermath the warlocks of the Shadow Council seized the structure and bestowed upon it a new name: the Black Temple.

The most difficult new challenge that awaits players in Patch 2.1 will be the hunt for Illidan in his own dark citadel – a quest to bring the reign of the evil overlord to an end. Watch our new Black Temple Trailer now to learn more about this new 25-man raid, and check out the Black Temple preview page to learn more about the history of Illidan’s fortress – and why freeing it from his evil taint is of paramount importance…

On Friday, May 4, we’re going to be enabling the battleground matchmaking system on the public test realms (PTRs). The matchmaking system will help match teams against each other based on their gear and level of organization. To usher in this new feature and help aid in testing, we’re going to be sending in World of Warcraft community managers and other Blizzard employees to take on any teams willing to challenge us. Come onto the PvP test realm on Friday, May 4, beginning at 2:00 PM PDT, with your level-70 characters and queue for the Warsong Gulch battleground.
