Looking at the new Dungeon Finder system.
When 3.3 launched last week, it introduced a highly-streamlined way of getting into a instance group. Before you could only put your name in for 3 different dungeons. On top of that it was hard to slap together a group that was viable from the scraps that join the LFG queue. Now, WoW does the heavy lifting for you. Itll slap together a viable group (assuming no one lied about their role) that is geared enough to run the content. Not only that, but the player pool is expanded to the battlegroup. Youll even get bonus loot from joining random dungeons. Its a good time to PVE.
Take a pic, Win a cup.
Alright, its fair to say that Blizzard doesn’t have nearly as cool of contests as we here at multiboxing.com.  But really, how can you compete with such awesome giveaways as video cards and PS3s just for hitting your screencap key or drawing like a 1st grader.  But if you like your drinks in overly elaborate cups, then check out Blizzard’s new contest.  Its not the incredibly awesome tech gear you’ll find with our contests, but you can’t blame them for trying.
Patch 3.3 and shamans, part 1
WoW.com has an interesting article on Shamans, and we all know how the 3.3 patch changes can dramatically affect the most common multiboxing team of all. Totem Talk is the column for shamans,. Matthew Rossi ran ICC twice this week and will probably run it on 10 man twice more, and yet managed to take possibly the worst screenshot of all time, which he shares with you above,. Can you find the three shamans, including himself, in it? He sure as heck couldn’t. But it’s got a skunk bear up front. That’s nice. It’s been an interesting week all told. The new five mans and new raid are out (well, first four bosses of new raid, anyway… having both tanked and been melee DPS on Deathbringer Saurfang, I have to say, it’s an interesting mechanic but I’m already heartily sick of Blood Power, and I don’t look forward to healing it) and we’re seeing a couple of new mechanics and a new set of shorter cooldowns. I have to say, so far I really like the reduced cooldowns on our elemental totems. Now all they need is a pet bar, and not to die in two hits from any mob in sight. (I exaggerate slightly. Very slightly.)
The 96969 Rotation.
Often times here at Multiboxing.com, we get into discussions where people come forth and confess that they’re completely clueless about something.  This, of course, is where we come some further discussions and some really great guides.  One such discussion led to both Tim and myself saying how much we didn’t know about “96969″.  That sparked not one, but two different looks at the rotation all put into a single thread.  Such wonderful things come from not knowing something. And now a look a paladin tanking.
Blizzard confirms: 3.3 is due today – Fall of the Lich King!
Fall of the Lich King, the latest World of Warcraft content update, is coming! The heroes of the Horde and the Alliance have faced unimaginable horrors and suffered terrible losses in their desperate struggle against the Scourge. Now the time has come to break through the fortified gates of Icecrown Citadel and confront the Lich King in the frozen heart of his domain. Follow Jaina Proudmoore or Sylvanas Windrunner through the Forge of Souls, Pit of Saron, and Halls of Reflection in an attempt to subvert the Lich King’s army in a new multi-wing 5-player dungeon. Join the Ashen Verdict as they charge through the citadel’s main gate to take on the Scourge’s most powerful leaders and fearsome monstrosities in a new 10- and 25-player raid. Fall of the Lich King also introduces the cross-realm Dungeon Finder interface, new quest-tracking features designed to make it easier to find objectives, and much more.

omgMooter wins the PS3!
omgMooter is the winner of the Playstation 3 in our Silly Art Contest today!  The contest is for the most funny, most silly, most skillful (or skill-less) drawing relating to multiboxing.  Out of many, many entries seen here in this tread, I went ahead and picked my favorite.   From there, my dog (Paws) picked the final winner!  A video of Paws picking the winner is coming soon!

Game Informer’s Interview with Tigole
Game Informer recently sat down with Jeff Kaplan (aka Tigole) to discuss World of Warcraft.  Kaplan had been on the world design team for years before finally switching of to Blizzard’s as of yet unnamed next-gen MMO.  He talks about some of the history about the game’s development and where its looking to go in the future. One excerpt of note though confirms an in-game cinematic for 3.3 ala Wrathgate.
Multiboxing Guides
Multiboxing.com is one of the best sources for guides about multiboxing.  But we’re not content at being one of the best.  We want to be the complete source for all things multiboxing.  We’re always on the look out for new guides and new ideas.  Which is why we have an entire section dedicated to it on our forums. We have topics ranging from creating your accounts for your first multiboxing team all the way to overcoming the challenges of heroics when your team reaches it’s pinnacle.  From buying to selling to just plain making boatloads of gold.  It all here in our forums.  And thats where you come in!
Blizzard extends their support hours.
For any of you that may have had your accounts compromised (as I have) you’d probably have noticed that you got hit either late friday or early saturday.   Of course you would’ve had to wait until you could give Blizzard a call on monday morning.  And while you waited, you had no access to your account or been able to stop those pesky hackers from spamming around the community under your name. Well, those days are closer to over.  Blizzard has extended their service hours to seven days a week.  Now, you can get your account back in a matter of hours, instead of days.  And best of all, no hours of busy signals on mondays.
Ghostcrawler on Rogues
Since Tim fired up a brand new duo of rogues, I thought it’d be interesting to take a look at what he’ll be walking into in the future.  Ghostcrawler recent made a lengthy post about what goes on in the minds of the design team when it comes to everyone’s favorite stunlocker.  Of course, you have to remember Cataclysm is far from final and what Blizzard “plans” and what they “do” sometimes can be quite different.  Enjoy the look into the state of the rogues. Ghostcrawler: Ultimately, we’d like for more talent trees to look like Subtlety. Trading utility A for utility B is an interesting decision. Trading utility A for more dps is not an interesting decision; the latter is always going to win.

New Info About Shadowmourne
The guys over at MMO-Champion have done an update on the new legendary item from the 3.3 PTR.  Check out the super-sweet proc effects on the video.  Remember its geared towards 2-handed DPSers, so all of you hunters are out of luck.  And in addition it’ll be a couple months after 3.3 hits the live servers before we’ll see any of these floating around Dalaran, thanks to Blizzard’s wonderful idea of gating out the individual sections of the Icecrown Citadel.  Enjoy the show. Shadowmourne – Legendary Axe The end of the PTR is near and it’s time for a new preview of
