World of Warcraft Official claimed the news following:
We've updated World of Warcraft's five-year anniversary site to include a frank interview with Fraya, the leader of the Enigma guild on the Deathwing realm. In the interview, we speak with Fraya about his most memorable moments over five years of playing, Enigma’s experience in high-end raiding, and where the guild expects to find itself in Cataclysm and beyond. Check out the anniverary page for our full discussion.
An announcement was made today at VanaFest 2010 for "Abyssea," an all-new three-part series of battle-oriented add-ons.
A parallel world existing beside Vana'diel, Abyssea is a land fraught with perils and home to savage hordes of heretofore unseen creatures. Ferocious, towering NMs, new-look HNMs-even the garden varieties will confound would-be challengers with their unfamiliar and formidable powers. These and a whole host more await hapless adventurers with open arms and voracious maws.
In Abyssea, concerns such as the over-population of battle areas and the need for large time investments will be a thing of the past. The development team is hard at work creating a world where parties can engage in rewarding battles with powerful foes and collect prized equipment with the least of fuss.
More details are available via the following links:

The latest news come from the Aion official,enjoying it with all guys here!
As some of our more observant. followers noticed, a top secret, critical meeting just took place between our European and North American offices. This meeting was held in parallel with a press conference with over 60 invited journalists that took place at the same time in NCsoft’s Korean headquarters.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a transcript of the meeting to share. Security precautions for the meeting were aggressive—including the use of lava pits and muscular bulls—which made leaking the information during the meeting an uninviting option. The objective of the meeting was to nail down the patch notes of the upcoming version 1.9 patch for Aion.
We don’t know whether it was because of our tactful dialogue with the parties involved, our supreme abilities of persuasion, or perhaps Kinslon’s affinity for chocolate, but we were able to procure permission to publish some highlights about what was discussed in spite of the meeting’s confidential nature.
• New skills for every class (including new skills specifically for countering stun attacks)
• Dozens of daily quests with different objectives and rewards
• New quests, increased quest rewards, and increased instance drop rates
• Dredgion enhancements
• Max item enchantment increased to +15
• An increase in experience gain (including a new experience bonus system: Energy of Salvation)
• Soul Healing, Soul Binding, and Flight Transportation cost decreases
• A mechanic that allows two two-handed weapons to be combined to create one more powerful two-handed weapon
• Looking for group (LFG) functionality improvements
• Numerous user interface improvements
Stay tuned, and make sure to grab the tentative patch notes (far exceeding 20 pages in length) when they’re published later this week.
Fly safe, Daevas,

If you noticed that the 3.3.3 PTR has been updateed, you may have noticed that there are some interesting new statistics being tracked. Specifically, according to MMO-Champion,the followings are the now being tracked.
Kicked in the LFG(follower)(hidden)- Number of times the player kicked someone in LFG, voting, but not initiating
Kicked in the LFG(follower)(hidden)- Number of times the player has been kicked by someone in LFG
Kicked in the LFG(follower)(hidden)-Number of times the player kicked someone in LFG, initiating the kick
Abandoned LFG(hidden)-Number of times the player abandoned an LFG dungeon
Abandoned LFG(hidden)-Number of times the player completed an LFG dungeon
What does this mean exactly? Well, it means that at the very least Blizzard will know what you're doing in your dungeon groups with more granularity than before. How many times you start a vote kick, vote to kick, get kicked, dump a group or finish one will be tracked by character. While I'm sure this is information they have access to already, it should be easier than before for them to know if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake.
I have no idea what, if anything, they intend to do with this data but I'm still interested to see what develops

A couple of days ago, the product managers of Tibia and the managing directors of CipSoft called their community managers to a meeting to announce the latest management decisions concerning our fight against cheating - a topic which has become pretty controversial within the community shortly after the publication of our featured article in January 2009. A lot of time has passed since then, but this time has not been wasted
Until the present day, a huge amount of data about cheaters in Tibia has been collected, analysed, evaluated and reevaluated. Only recently, this whole process has reached a point when sufficient statistical information was accumulated which allowed to draw comprehensive and truly reliable conclusions about the cheating situation, and to plan our next strategic steps. The first steps are taking effect straightaway
Improved detection
Thanks to the detailed analyses of the past months, the efficiency and power of our automatic detection tool was significantly improved. This enhancement instantly resulted in a remarkable boost of detections: Today, 16,598 Tibia accounts have been excluded from the game for using unofficial software to play during the last couple of weeks
Permanent final warnings
From now on, there will be permanent punishments for all players who gained permanent advantages through the act of cheating which includes the use of unofficial software to play, account sharing and account trading. As many of you have requested in the past, every single account which is identified for having cheated will now get a permanent final warning that does not vanish any more after 6 months. Also, all accounts which currently have a final warning due to the use of unofficial software to play, account sharing or account trading will not lose this warning either. In case of any further rule violation that would lead to a banishment, accounts with a permanent final warning will be automatically deleted without any prior warning
These two adjustments of our anti-cheating policy sound the bell for the next round of our fight against cheating. At this point, the Tibia official would like to thank all of our fair players for your unbelievable amount of patience, your commitment to Tibia and your amazing support during the past months.
Cerafina on server [ENG]Perento asks:
“It’s been several weeks now since the fort timer survey. When are they going to see a change?”
The Aion official taken the data collected from the in-game survey and compared it to our internal server statistics. Based on these factors, our decision is to “keep the enemy on their heels.” Next week we will be changing the capture timer to one hour, which is twice the amount of time it is currently set to.
The Aion offcial goal in the original change was to increase the difficulty of these battles and reduce the amount of time players needed to dedicate for the event. They believe that the new timer achieves a good balance, but that doesn’t rule out future reevaluations. They will be closely monitoring activity in the Abyss after the timer change is implemented to make sure that the battle rages on without any new negative side effects!
Happy February, everyone!
The Aion official hopes you’ve all had a good first month of the year and are keeping your eyes on their Veteran Rewards program in anticipation—doubly so since getting the Black Cloud Wing Feather is becoming tantalizingly close? First-day Aion adopters should see these spectacular wing items headed their way in just about two months!
Live Status Utility
Read through the thread before deciding whether or not this is something for you. Hoschi of Aionsource has created a neat little application that gives you quick information at a glance about a server’s online status and characters. They do not take any responsibility for the use of this application and will not provide any support. They just thought it looked cool and wanted to highlight it. To be safe, make sure to use an antivirus scanner before using it.

One Month of Aion
This Aion Tower article introduces itself better than we could: “From around the Vault/Portal/Planet Network, DunesVladHarkonnen managed to get addicted to Aion, and neglect all of his other duties. Read all about his first month exploits here. You can attribute the stream of consciousness writing and any errors to the fact he’s Canadian.”
