The sky grows dark, and healing is short at hand.

If you've been following the Zombie Plague appearing in World of Warcraft lately, then you'll know it's part of the build up to Wrath of the Lich King. It's been moving forward slowly in stages. In the latest stage, many of the available NPC healers in major cities have disappeared, while ways to become infected have increased. Also, the duration of the infection is down to 2 minutes til zombification.

Also, the Scourge Invasion has been brought live again. It's a repeat of the event that opened Naxxramas the first time around, but with a few twists. For example, it will send you after a new boss in Karazhan by the name of Tenris Mirkblood, and look at the sweet loot he drops.

I give you, the Arcanite Ripper.

It's of the Arcanite Ripper, a new drop from the boss Tenris Mirkblood in Karazhan. Tenris has appeared as part of the world event leading up to the release of Wrath of the Lich King. The Arcanite Ripper is a throw back to the old Arcanite Reaper. Except this one has a cool new ability.

Right click on the Ripper, and you'll become a rocking out skeleton. You're a one man LVL70 ETC. With this little axe, World of Warcraft now becomes Guitar Hero.

.... WANT!
