It's Memorial Day in the United States, a time when we celebrate the memories of our fallen soldiers by visiting memorials, breaking out the BBQ grill, and jumping into all of the swimming pools opening for the summer around the country.

There's a lot of interesting things that have happened the past few days here at WoW.com. Our new site is in full swing, and you can read about all the changes we've done.

One of the major additions to the site is the WoW.com profiles, which bring the famed social networking features right into WoW via our custom add-on. Check out what some of our users are already doing: Yamara34 just started up a brand new guild over on Proudmoore, and Mogri got lucky on the fishing daily.

A few major details about patch 3.2 were released on Friday, along with some clarification points by the blues. There is no indication when patch 3.2 will hit the PTR, but we're on the lookout for it. With a new 5-man dungeon, and a new 10/25-man raid, it will be sure to make a splash.

In addition to the new dungeons, patch 3.2 will nerf Jewelcrafting a bit. This is an unwelcome change for many players, and it has all the JCers up in arms.

We hope that everyone has a great time celebrating Memorial Day, and make sure you do it safely. For those of you not in the US, have a great Monday anyway!

What better way to celebrate the Fourth of July today than to sit outside with some good beer, some tasty BBQ, and a whole lot of cheaply made fireworks? Brom and Seku on the Llane server were kind enough to send us this picture they took of a firework they found at a store in Pittsburg, Kansas -- apparently the "Behemoth," made by the Consumer Fireworks company in China, not only "emits showers of sparks," it also blows copyright law completely out of the water. Very nice.

One more gigantic pic of the Behemoth and its Warcraft III orc cover art after the jump. If you do use fireworks (or break copyright law) today, do it safely, and have a great holiday!

This is the beginning of a new feature here on WOW Insider. Every Tuesday, we'll put the spotlight on the latest and greatest guilds in Azeroth-- who's downing who, who's merging with who, who's recruiting what, and any great guild drama that can't be missed. I hereby bring the first GuildWatch to order!

DRAMA: Ascension (Runetotem-H) has disbanded, supposedly because of transfers offrealm. Also, not really drama, but Seekers of Alexstraza (Steamwheedle Cartel-H) is holding an RP BBQ this Sunday at 6pm! Be there for the free drinks!

DOWNED: Big Tymers (Azjol-Nerub-H) downed Anubisath Defender, Gankers Inc (Bleeding Hollow-H) killed Vael after a close call Vent shutdown, and Legion of KorKron (Emerald Dream-H) downed Kurinaxx and Rajaxx on their first attempt at AQ20! Flames of Retribution (Kargath-H) killed Razorgore. Crimson Raiders (Silver Hand-A) downed Nefarian, but had a pally ninja the Tear from them. Bummer!

RECRUITING: Thorns (Aegwynn), Dead on Contact (Andorhal), Kopi (Khaz'goroth) wants everything but warriors and shaman, Deception of Fate (Gnomeregan-H) wants morning players, Raging Primates (BlackRock-H), Thrust (Dark Iron-H) wants shamans, Team Envy (Khadagar-H) wants a DPS warrior (good luck), and Four Lights (Malfurion-A) wants peeps. Stout and Bitter (Emerald Dream-A) wants Aussies and Kiwis. Ascended (Hakkar-A) wants 55-60s (who doesn't?), and Shadow Ravens (Kargath-A) are "reforming their ranks." Dark Pact (Kul Tiras-H) (check out their banner logo above) wants a hunter, a druid, and a rogue. quiXiotic (Thunderhorn-H) wants to run MC. The Mighty (Sentinels-A) want "mercenaries" (crazy RPers). Finally, Oblivion (Cenarius-H) is looking to fill out ranks for MC.

Did we miss your guild? Of course we did, this is the first time we've done this. If you want to be featured in next week's GuildWatch, drop us an email at wowguildwatch@gmail.com. Make sure to include (very important) your guild's name, what server you're on, whether you're playing Horde or Alliance, and make sure to tell us why we should include you. If you're talking about Drama, the more info you can give us the better, and you can be anonymous if you want. If you are announcing a Downed, we'd love it if you included a screenshot link, and be sure to tell us if anything interesting happened (including loot). And if you're recruiting and have somewhere you want players to sign up, make sure to tell us exactly the address to link to. That's it! See you next week!
