Maintenance day is underway until 2pET/11aPT and many WoW fans are searching for something to do, while players with day jobs log on to point out that they can never play during these hours. Fortunately, we have lots going on today, as well as some highlights from the past week that you won't want to miss. Wrath of the Lich King:
- Compilation of everything we know of to date about Death Knights, the new hero class we'll be seeing with the expansion.
- The new expansion is now in alpha testing! Read on to find out what this means, as well as what it doesn't mean.
- A great analysis of when arena season 4 might begin.
- Proudmoore server hits phase 4 - check out our daily guides!
- Discussion: which piece of Sunwell badge loot are you looking forward to the most? If you're not sure, check out our loot list and analysis on a class by class basis, then join in with your comments.
- Premonition gets US first downing of Eredar Twins.
- Nihilum downs Eredar Twins (again).
- A trusted addon download site has been infested with malware.
- An anti-keylogging program you just might want to try.
- A player recently tried to scam the GMs. In response, a GM gave perhaps one of my favorite forum responses of all time.
- Mila Kunis plays WoW!
- Sunday Morning Funnies is heating up!
- Says Craig Sherman from Gaia Online, WoW has not successful. What rock has he been under?
- Want to read some of the best, the worst, the funniest comments you've posted on WoW Insider this past week? Check out the dirt!

You "loot list and analysis on a class by class basis" does not have a Mage section. Why do you hate us so much? Why?! /cry

AFAIK the mage columnist is more PVP than PVE and gear guides are decisively PVE business. That said I could write about it if WoW Insider contacts me on that. (I was one of those raiders that applied for the mage columnist job a while back when it was open)

I like to pass the time out of game with another little game I found not too long ago:

Pretty nifty and a touch addictive!

i play a game called Savage during patchday. its a very interesting game, a hybrid between, RTS / FPS / MMO
you play a char, which you lvl up in each game, your team has a comands who is playing RTS, building the base, training workers, giving orders, developing technology for players to use.. went free to play about 2 years ago, and is alot of fun.

When is the last time they had a reduced downtime? I've come back to the game for the last two months, and thought they were doing that from time to time now. I know complaining about downtime is nothing new, but still...

I play games I haven't finished yet. Old games I left behind because of WoW. To this day I haven't finshed Hal Life 2 and I bought this game 4 years ago with WoW!. The game still looks amazing for me eventhough 4 years have passed. I might buy the orange box when I finish this game to try it out, or maybe I should just keep playing those old games I haven't played in a while and save me some $$$.

Here's what I do on maintenance days: I always make sure I throw up my buffs and dismount before logging out monday nite, so I can armory myself with all the correct numbers showing and look for gear upgrades.

Hey Foreman, last week was just rolling restarts.

Right on, guess I didn't notice, it's good to know they haven't stopped doing that completely. Thank you for the answer guy!

I don't see any actual "Badge Loot Analysis" for Priests. I do see a list of Sunwell Priest drops, but no actual analysis. Unless/until you guys actually put up something that discusses badge loot for Priests, you might want to remove the misleading link on the Sunwell Info page.

Will we have to downlod a patch later on?
