Big News Of The Week
Mr. T Returns To WoW
This week, Blizzard got the original Night Elf Mohawk himself to do a short commercial for the 5th anniversary of WoW, and gave the game a somewhat different look for a while. You can currently find a Night Elf Mohawk NPC just outside of every race’s starting area, and if you ask him, he’ll give you a stack of 5 grenades.
Pligrim’s Bounty
It’s a new holiday in WoW that started Sunday, November 22, and runs for 8 days.
So Many More Class Guides
Since our last episode of The Instance, Blizzard updated their Class Links page, a compendium of links out to dozens and dozens of guides that may or may not interest you as you try to figure out whether to go combat or assassination as you level up.
Rumors And Scuttlebutt
A New Angle On Getting The Tier Gear
Starting with this weeks update to the public test realms, we’ve gotten a good look at how Blizzard may be doling out the tier 10 set gear in version 3.3 of WoW. It’s another small twist on how things were done previously, but doesn’t appear to deviate from the general trend of things over the last year.
That Ring Is Gonna Cost You
Blizzard Community Manager Bornakk laid the following sweet deal on us this week in the official forums:
Item level 251 Kirin Tor rings are currently planned for patch 3.3. I’m not sure what the cost to upgrade is but it will probably be similar to previous upgrades.
So for those of you who have spent 8800 gold on the 226 version of that ring, Blizzard is going to do the same thing here that they did in the last two expansions.
Town Cryer
Ryan V. writes: One of my really close friends recently got cut off of WoW. Her parents won’t see reason even though she paid for her subscription and followed their rules. They have no chance of seeing reason, but she can still play when she comes over to my house. She wanted to give me her character for my birthday so she would also be able to play it sometimes. However because of the rules blizzard has set for character transfers she can’t transfer it, is there any chance that I could talk to blizzard and try and show them that I am not someone selling my account?

Make Your Pilgrims More Bountiful
We know what you’re thinking:
Five new cooking recipes to incorporate into this character of mine with the Thanksgiving holiday is great, but I’m not at cooking skill level 330 yet!
Well don’t despair, we’re here to get your cooking leveled up as quickly and inexpensively as possible. The WoWWiki Alliance and Horde cooking guides to the rescue. And we’ve got a couple more tips for you from the kitchen. Namely, mods:

You guys seem to point out that you need to get your cooking up for the holiday. One of the points of the holiday is to power level your cooking. So I think linking to a guide and talking about it were unneeded at least well this holiday is going.
Talking leveling cooking? Pilgrim’s bounty’s quests takes you through Bountiful cookbook from 0 to atleast 350.
Any alt you got, should go level cooking this week, 2 hours, 350 cooking, really cheap.
….oh what Foster already said
One of the great appeals of WoW is it’s ability to poke fund at itself,a nd not take itself too serious. Blizz is walking a very fine line between the integrity of the gameworld and coming up with new gimmicks to keep things fun. For people who think Blizz might be crossing some line, then one ideas might be a true RP server with no gimmicky type stuff period (including vanity pets). But I for one don’t mind, I mean, like a 5-year old marriage, sometimes you got to shake things up to keep me interested. The achievements associated witht he world events are a good example.
