The KOTBS and BG skills have been revealed thanks to some dutiful 1.0.6 testers. Follow the Forum Discussion link for the full spell lists. Of particular interest is a KOTBS skill that reduces incoming damage by 75% for 10 seconds and a 15 second disorient on the Black Guard. Scary.

The complete list of changes weighs a metric ton, click ahead to read more.

A major change to scenario queuing is coming down the pipes. The details from Mythic:

In response to popular demand, you’ll now be able to queue for all of the scenarios available in your current tier, across all three pairings. For instance, if you’re in Nordland, you can queue for the Nordenwatch scenario as usual. You can also queue up for Khaine’s Embrace (the Tier 1 scenario in the High Elf vs. Dark Elf pairing) and the Gates of Ekrund (the Tier 1 scenario on the Dwarf vs. Greenskin pairing), all without leaving Nordland. No travel is required at all; just click the WAR symbol on your interface as you normally would, and use the arrows at the top of the window to scroll through the different scenarios.

We know many have been waiting for this feature and we have a lot more great additions coming on the horizon. We look forward to your continued feedback as we work to take WAR to the next level…WAAAGH!!!

WAR is going great, but if you played a bit, you've probably seen the gold-selling spammers starting up their old shenanigans already. The good news is Mythic is starting to ban them by the hundreds:

1049 banned sellers
$50 per box
$15 for one month of service

That comes out to $68,185 that gold sellers just shoveled to Mythic. I wonder if they made up the difference over the weekend?

Hasselhoff be praised, release is finally here. I celebrated with an 11-hour straight gaming session yesterday.

If you're one of the cool kids and have a Collector's Edition, you're already in. You noobs with the Standard Edition will have access tomorrow. And then the ultra noobs enter the game on Thursday.

And if you're a Destruction player on Red Eye Mountain, spare the Archmages. They mean no harm.

The almighty WarHerald has provided the peons of the land with a list of servers. Are you a Heldenhammer? Maybe a Sea of Claws? Or a fruity Saphery?

Finally, the official announcement for the NA servers:

Starting Sunday, September 14th all Collectors Edition Pre-Order players will be invited to join us as we kick off WAR and officially end Open Beta.

On Tuesday, September 16th all Standard Edition Pre-Order players will join the ranks of Collectors Edition players as we prepare to release WAR to the world next Thursday, September 18th.

Get out there and get playing! And while you're at it, stop by the forums and tell us which realm and server you are playing on:
