Logo Contest Winner, Worgen Hunter Pet, WoW Streamed With Gaikai

World of Raids Logo Contest Winner

This was by far the hardest contest to judge yet on World of Raids, since it will usher in a new-look logo for the website. We had a number of incredible entries, but unfortunately only one could be chosen. I'm going to contact all of the entrants and get their permission to upload the logos they submitted, because while we can only use one, I think everyone would like to be able to appreciate the talent and creativity displayed. So, without further ado, I present to you the future logo for World of Raids:

Congratulations to 1217814 for winning the BlizzCon ticket prize for the contest! We won't be using the logo on the site just yet, but you can expect to see it later this summer, along with a few cool new things for World of Raids.

Worgen Hunter Pet

This might be hotfixed (or changed in an upcoming patch), but currently it's possible to have a worgen pet as a hunter! Well, a pet with a worgen model, anyway. According to Mania's Arcania, it's possible to tame Garwal from Howling Fjord, and if you time it right he'll keep his worgen form when he becomes your pet! The only caveat so far to keeping your pet in his worgen form is to not enter Arenas or Battlegrounds, as doing so will reset the pet to a wolf model. Unfortunately you won't be able to do this unless you've yet to complete Alpha Worg, and from the comments on Mania's Arcania, it looks like it's more challenging of a tame than the spirit wolf from Dustwallow Marsh.

Possible Battle.net 2 "Pay-to-play" Option

Quote from: Bashiok (Source)

Mike mentioned it in an Activision Blizzard investor meeting [paraphrased] "A player that buys Starcraft 2 at retail will have the ability to play on Battle.net with no additional fee."

I'll point out that this is a very carefully worded statement.
