Last week the World of Warcraft was literally busting at the seams both here at the TenTonHammer site and in game as Azeroth was ripped apart in the Shattering. This meant a lot going on in the game, on the site, and in WoW news. So, let's get to it.
At the TenTonHammer site we covered the events going on in the game which of course included patch 4.0.3a and the Shattering, but also included things like the Pilgrim's Bounty holiday. We also looked at how odd it was to celebrate a holiday at a time when the world was in peril. Next up we covered a look back at six years in Azeroth. Lastly we looked at some of the drastic changes made to character classes in 4.0.3a and looked at leveling once Cataclym is released.
With Cataclysm looming next week it was a big week for news. Blizzard firmed up plans for both the European and North American launch of Cataclysm and shared that news with everyone. Of course the Shattering and the Elemental Invasion case covered, as was the official end of the Cataclysm Beta. A whole lot more was covered as well, so if you are not checking news daily, make sure you do, or scroll down to the bottom of the Overpull for a complete recap.
All this and more can be found right here at WoW.TenTonHammer.com.

Six Years in Azeroth - A World of Warcraft Anniversary Retrospective
The Ten Ton Hammer WoW team recounts their favorite tales from the game's first six years
It's hard to believe that World of Warcraft is turning six years old already. While traditional sixth anniversary gifts are supposed to incorporate candy, iron or wood, the staff at World of Warcraft Ten Ton Hammer decided to give Blizzard Entertainment a gift of words instead.
Inspired by some of our fondest memories over the past six years of WoW, join us as we take a look back at what has become the most successful, genre-defining MMOG on the planet.

The shattering is upon us and it's time for the members of the Horde to hone their skills and level up once again. This guide covers Horde leveling from 80-82 in Mount Hyjal.
The Scorched Plain is a narrow corridor of desolation burned to the ground by fire elementals. It stretches East to West across the center of Hyjal and houses the ruins of an abandoned Night Elf village. The Twilight Cult rules here now and the Plain is infested with Ogres, Twilight Magi, and fire elementals.
With the Cataclysm Beta getting extremely close to wrapping we look at the last of the remaining five player instances. This last instance is a huge instance with seven bosses that can be fought in almost any order you choose. The instance in question is the Halls of Origination which covers a lot of Titan history and brings back one of our favourite explores Brann Bronzebeard. Join Byron Messiah Mudry as he explores this new instance and finds out what it's all about.
