A Day That Comes But Once A Yarrr
Some years ago, Mark "Cap'n Slappy" Summers and John "Ol' Chumbucket" Baur (the co-authors of the book Pirattitude) figured that being a pirate was such a fine thing that it should be celebrated. Their associate Dread Captain DeMeza thought that a capital idea, and Pirates' Day was born.
On one day only, September 19, you too can celebrate Pirates' Day. Rumor has it that Dread Captain DeMeza herself will invade Booty Bay, bringing corsairs and cannons to fire on approaching vessels. Keep an eye out for First Mate Hapana, and expect to see commoners in pirate garb in capital cities. Ask them to help you dress like a pirate, and join in the fun.
Dread Captain DeMeza has been known to share a drink with an adventurer or two; if you have the guts, perhaps she'll raise a mug with you and make you an honorary crew member. Now that's an achievement!

What an eventful day :P

Definitely. I wasn't expecting Blizzard's announcement of "4.3 news tomorrow" to mean they'd start giving us news before the sun came up. ^_^ Awesome news all around, though.

Only if you're a raider. :/

Not just raiding news was released. Transmog clarifications (though it was really just a compilation of already stated rules) and details about the 5 man dungeons were released as well. Also clarification on the LFRaid feature I would say is news for non-raiders. Yes its still raid content, but the fights will be easier and you won't have to schedule your week around the raid, instead you will get to pug into it like you would any dungeon during whatever free time you have.

I'd like to again thank the staff of WowInsider for covering this huge day of announcements so well! I couldn't look away for a moment!

Pretty slow news day.... any word on the Dance Studio?

I can't believe the expansion's almost over already.
It feels like we only started months ago.

It's going to drag on for another year or so until the next expansion; it's far from finished.
