In case you haven’t heard, Blizzard’s Rage of The Firelands WoW update brings with it the elimination of the 14-day trial in favor of a model that allows noobs to play up to level 20 before paying a subscription fee.
However, the World of Warcraft Starter Edition, as it is called, does have a few restrictions. As Gamespot notes:
…players will be able to amass just 10 gold, have their trade skills capped at 100, and will be unable to trade via the Auction House, mailbox, or player to player.
Further, Starter Edition players will not be able to access public chat channels, join a guild, invite players to a party, join parties with characters above level 20, use voice chat, transfer characters, or use Real ID features. Lastly, Blizzard will give preferential treatment to paying WoW subscribers when realms have queues.
On the plus side, if you decide to upgrade the core game plus The Burning Crusade expansion can now be had in a single package for a mere $20. Those who had previously purchased the original WoW will get a free copy.

We’ve all seen videos of some douche getting angry over World of Warcraft, but this one results in a keyboard punch smackdown.
We call fake on this because the impact and the fall don’t look right, but it’s amusing nonetheless. Check it out after the break.

A couple who just happen do be rabid WoW fans decided poop on the resale value of their home, quite literally, by redoing the bathroom in a Horde motif.
My wife and I have been playing World of Warcraft for nearly five years now, and we decided to remodel our bathroom following something of a HORDE motif. I’m not exactly sure where I should have posted this, so I decided to put it here. Both my wife and I hope you enjoy the fruits of our labor (and yes, we did ALL the work–nothing was contracted) 
As you will see in the images after the break, it’s high time they embarked on a quest for more toilet paper.

The newest World Of Warcraft: Cataclysm cinematic dropped yesterday and, now that I’m done wiping the drool off my chin, I’m posting it.
Personally, there’s something really satisfying about seeing Deathwing take out Darkshore, but maybe that’s because I remember my time on that beach looking for stupid Buzzboxes for a drunken gnome.
