Just want to get something straight, so you all sending in Downed news can be sure to work out the "notice" mechanic correctly: every guild gets to put just one boss on notice every week. You can't put instances on notice (although if you do, you have to clear that instance all in one go, and we're going to need video or it didn't happen) wow, and you can't put more than one boss on notice -- otherwise, everyone would put everyone on notice. One boss per guild, per week. Any other kills after that are just bonuses.
Now that that's out of the way, on to the Guildwatch! Click the link below to see this week's drama, downed and recruiting news from around the realms cheap wow gold, and be sure to send us your tips, from your guild or anyone else's at igolg.com.

Bobby Kotick: Activision is "considerate of the culture" at Blizzard
Portfolio has an interview with Bobby Kotick himself, warchief of the Activision Blizzard clan, and in there, they talk about the merger itself (obviously) buy wow gold, as well as Kotick's past and what he's trying to do with Activision Blizzard.
If you believe everything he's saying, then our favorite game company sounds like it may have landed on pretty good ground. Apparently Activision was originally trying to buy out Vivendi (Kotick says he'd realized that World of Warcraft wasn't so much a game as a full-fledged social network), but Vivendi made the counter-offer of a partnership instead. And while Kotick only chats briefly about Activizzard's other properties (he thinks facial and mouth movement will help videogames tell great stories -- sigh), he does say that Activision is a place where Blizzard can grow as a studio of its own, as compared to a faceless corporation like, ahem, EA.
All in all, Kotick doesn't sound like too bad a guy, although I can't imagine that any CEOs being profiled in something called "Portfolio" would. It does at least sound like he'll let Blizzard do their thing, although just as we've said before, while things are great now cheap wow gold when the money is rolling in, there's no knowing what will happen in the future.

Spiritual Guidance: 3 Priest specs your raid should not leave Shattrath without
Every Sunday, Spiritual Guidance will offer practical insight for priests of the holy profession. Your host is Matt Low, the overlord of World of Matticus, and this week he takes a look at 3 different raid specs for the new priest to consider wow gold.
A priest by nature is a class that serves to heal. Unless you walk the path of shadow, then you play a class devoted to healing your raid. Far be it from me to tell me how you should spec or what you should spec cheap wow gold. I believe that everyone is free to invest their points down whatever talent tree they see fit. On the other side of the coin, I have been called upon to counsel my raid leaders. In a raid group where 24 of 25 spots have been filled and the last vacancy is reserved for a healer, raid leaders often make the tough call of deciding who gets benched and who gets on the starting roster.
I'm going to go out on a limb and do something no blogger should ever do.
I'm going to make an assumption.
I'm going to assume that you want to raid and experience end game.
If your guild is a highly competitive one where healers are abundant and plentiful, then you need to make yourself stand out from the rest buy wow gold. When your raid leader is in the hard position of deciding who stays and who goes, there is only one question that they ask themselves.

New WotLK screenshots leaked
A poster on the mmo-champion forums has found several leaked screenshots from the alpha of Wrath of the Lich King. While not all screenshots the original poster produced are real, WoW Insider has learned from an inside source that a number of them are very similar to what the actual alpha looks like and appear to be legitimate. While this isn't an official confirmation from Blizzard, it is about as good as we'll get for any leaked screenshot for the time being.
The images are of various places around what looks to be Utgarde Keep. Additionally, there is a very real looking screenshot of the alpha installation package. Sources tell me this is very close to what is on the docket at Blizzard wow gold, again lending credibility to these leaks.
Stay tuned to WoW Insider for all the latest Wrath of the Lich King information. Click the gallery below to see the full leaked sets.
Updated 12:53 a.m. EDT: Login screen was a fake. Removed. However, other screenshots still stand up with our sources. Thanks to Aichon, Kyraa, and our sources for helping clear up which images are real and which are fake.
Updated 11:00 p.m. EDT April 21st: Most of these images came from Two Hammers over at Gamebunny from his Blizzcon 2007 trip cheap wow gold. However, still good screenies for people to enjoy.

WoW Moviewatch: WoW Tube
In the middle of a raid, or simply just too busy to actually walk to the bathroom? Now you don't have to! Wham-o's WoW Tube allows you to "comfortably" use the restroom from your chair, so you'll never miss an important moment in-game again!
If this video was indeed made in the last 6 months, this guy doesn't play WoW at all. He mentions leveling to 60. I do like how he mentions that if you're still interested in his "product" cheap wow gold, that it's only $20 USD for 30 feet of PVC! I sincerely hope that none of you have actually tried this at home.
[Thanks, dantekgeek!]
