Blizzard has been touting the Dungeon Journal (or the Encounter Journal as its sometimes been called) as one of the big draws of 4.2. Now that the next World of Warcraft patch is due, Blizzard blue Kaivax has posted a nice preview going into more detail on the community site.

Last year, Blizzard mentioned a new concept for World of Warcraft fans: War Games. The feature, which will be added when 4.2 hits next week, will allow players to play an unranked arena match or battle ground against the same or a different faction for fun and personal kudos. Because, yes, it's all about the kudos.

So World of Warcraft: Rage of the Firelands is getting ever closer and, as if in anticipation of this, Ghostcrawler has posted a lengthy piece on the community site blog discussing balance in 4.2. Yes, it’s buffing/nerfing time.

World of Warcraft’s next major patch, Rage of the Firelands, means one thing for raiders: a new tier of raid content. It also means new gear, epic loot and a shiny legendary to boot. But this also means it’s time for all your lovely Valor Points to be transmuted into Justice Points.
