Fairly incontrovertible: the only big news for the last two weeks was Fan Faire and BlizzCon.

Massive Update 12 (three months!)

What could be at BlizzCon … which ended up pretty much being the truth.

Massive Update 13

Tons of details on the events, and news from an otherwise fairly ordinary week.

World of Warcraft Patch Notes - PTR notes for the 2.2 patch are now available. They include the promised voice chat functionality, as well as additional chat channel functionality, and (finally) an address for AFK players in battlegrounds! “A new feature for reporting players as being AFK in battlegrounds by right clicking has been added. When enough reports are registered, a 30 second debuff will begin to count down. Once the timer is up a new debuff will appear that will prevent the player from gaining any honor while it is on. This debuff can be negated as soon as the player engages in combat.”
