The Blizzard splash screen

Ok since were were talking about this and more has been reveled, I just want to give us one more chance to make our bets. I think the image resembles both a protoss and arthas/lich king, but I'm thinking what it is actually going to be is a completely new game, there is some historical evidence that supports this and all the runes being from different games makes me thing that this is kinda celebrating all their old games while announcing the next thing in line. Just wanted to get it in writing with a date on it :) Feel free to make you guesses here.

Tabard design website

So I have been pushing for a new tabard for a bit, but lacked a good way fo us to reach consensus. Now I found this site and we can post our ideas here in good ol' screencaps.

Edit: Ok I can't do screen caps but the idea I like is a back background with a white top hat for the icon, and a Grey or black border. It's Cool and has a Top hat, Top of Cool!

*To limit front page space the list will be in the comments*

Season 4 Release Date

Quote from Eyeonix:
We’re currently planning to end the third Arena season and begin Arena Season 4 on June 24, 2008. This exciting Arena season will introduce the Brutal Gladiator set, and will also allow players to purchase Arena Season 2 items using the honor system. Please note that we will be resetting all Arena team and personal ratings. Players will still retain their Arena points and teams with this reset. The team and personal rating will simply be reset to the default 1500, allowing all teams to once again compete for top honors with a fresh start.

Also, with the end of the third season, players on the top teams from each battlegroup will receive their end-of-season rewards. These include Arena-specific titles that they can display proudly until the end of the new season, and, for the best of the best, an Armored Nether Drake. Please also be aware that with the end of the current season, all previous end-of-season titles will be removed.

Spell Hit

Great article on wowwiki.
A spell that fails to hit is shown as a resist, though this is different than the spell resistance mechanic. Spell hit has no effect on healing spells, as they will always hit.
Glance over the whole article, then look carefully at this chart for the main thrust of things. Many of you have heard me talking too much about spell hit lately. I've also talked too much about warlocks and spell hit. First I'd like to clear up a mistake I've been making. Warlocks with spell hit problems are specifically destro locks. Afflic locks with maxed Suppression are actually doing rather well. This doesn't mean they don't need any, though. If you want to go destro, consider at least spec'ing afflic until you can get full points in suppression. My understanding is that it's an easy talent to reach. (Tier 1 perhaps?)

Since our goal is to get to Kara, when looking at the chart linked above you need to look at the column for a level 73 mob. Raid bosses are treated as level 73 for the purposes of the spell hit roll.
