A few updates have been made to the website. Allow me to summarize...

-If you link to a wowhead item/quest/thing a tooltip will now show up. the [ item ] tags still use the armory though. Perdition's Blade, [Perdition's Blade]. Personally I'd like the [ item ] tags to link to wowhead, but this works.

-DKP decay is "still in the works". I've lobbied for some sort of system using a sliding scale based on attendance. Other than it will "decay" I have no idea how it will end up though.

-The characters portion of the members page has changed some. It now crawls the armory for guild characters and you can "claim" them. As I make everyone add their own characters as a show of competence anyway it doesn't affect us.

-Individual characters now include things like achievements.

-With all the new armory crawling stuff a "guild activity" side box has been added as well. In theory, once the crawlers are done with their initial run, it should show all guild activity. Who joined, left, items obtained, achievements...

The only thing that really caught me be surprise was emblems of conquest dropping... everywhere.

Edit: And you can see quest items on the world map, and Casting bars under a target's portrait will now indicate whether or not the cast can be interrupted. That second one would be nice so we no longer have to play the "can that be interrupted game". And the new raid is just going to be the coliseum, along with a 5 man somewhere. The raid will have 4 modes, 10 player, 25 player, and then heroic version of both. I'm unclear as to how that is all going to work.

A new preview - sans screenshots - has been added for the new battleground coming in patch 3.2. It sounds like an updated AV. Siege vehicles (including airships of some type), walls, keeps, capture points, and a reinforcement count.

AV lost it's appeal to me quite a long time ago, although I must say even a month or so after it was released it lost it's shinyness. WSG is alright, and I still do the occasional AB just for fun. I like Strand quite a bit, and enjoy WG quite a lot. Assuming no lag issues...

This new battleground sounds quite cool if done right. I hope we get to pilot the airships(/planes?) ourselves and they don't go on a set path.

The full preview is on the main WoW site.
