In other polls, WoW Stratics asks whether you're excited about the upcoming Arathi Basin Battleground, WoW Vault wants your opinion on the instance limiting, and WoW Warcry wonders what type of guides you'd like to see added to their site.

Finally, Woody over at GU Comics is musing at one of those comments that he (probably wisely) never made.

We first wish to direct your attention to some recent and coming hotfixes: Dire Maul chests and an instance limit.

Last week we opened a new PvP realm named Haumarush, and its corresponding realm forum. Following in the wake of this new realm there have been discussions on the number of English Role-Playing realms (more blue posts later in the thread) and merging realms.

For all those other news and updates, make sure to check out Anvilbeard's Warcraft Weekly, now in its sixth edition.

Issue Six of The Alliance Herald is out, covering the Darkmoon Faire, the Warlocks in society and a lot more. Remember to check your horoscope. By the way - Thundgot speaking - this robe happens to be very neat and practical, thank you very much Fuchsia. People had better not point, or that'll be one less finger on their hand!

Moving over to WorldofWar.net you can see their game database site WWNData growing. While you're there, make sure to stop by the player journals for some reading and maybe add your own.

Woody at GU Comics shows us that totems have feelings too. While the Shaman's best friends might not be too happy about seeing road markers, Tycho over at Penny Arcade seems to think Gabe (and probably others) could use some additional directions - if not, prepare for unexpected encounters.

Last stop on the road this week is Slashdot, who has secured a World of Warcraft developer Q&A. Please do note the request to keep it to one question per comment.

• We start this week over at the Paladin forum where we're currently collecting Paladin concerns. You'll also find a place to discuss the concerns with your fellow players.
• As the Role-Playing realms Argent Dawn and Earthen Ring are currently experiencing queues during peak hours we've also explained a bit about English Role-Playing realms, mainly why there are currently only two of them.
• On the technical side you might want to check out some improvements on six realms. Make sure to check the clarification that was added later too. Due to the recent disturbances in game-play we've also decided to give players a two-day time extension on your account while continuing to give these issues top priority.
• A hot topic lately has been the search for cheats and hacks of the World of Warcraft client. You can find both a statement on the scanning and a thorough explanation on the forums.
• For other tidbits and news, make sure to drop by the fifth Warcraft Weekly from Anvilbeard.

WoW Radio is aiming to start European shows soon. No exact date given yet, but keep an eye on their site and forums. Those who want to do the talking themselves may want to drop by WoW IRC.
