Blizzard Entertainment is proud to present the latest entry in the “Leaders of Azeroth” short story series: In the Shadow of the Sun!

We received so many amazing entries to the 2011 Blizzard Holiday Card Contest that it’s taken us a ridiculous amount of time to finally be able to present the winners. Congratulations to our three creative card contest conquerers!

We’ve updated our Trading Card Game art gallery to feature ten new pieces. Each image is taken directly from the official World of Warcraft Trading Card Game. Be sure to give a shout-out to your favorite pieces in the comments.

This is it! We’ve released the final batch of EU retired server blades and they’re now available for bidding. Don’t miss your final opportunity to take part in this charity auction and own a piece of Blizzard Entertainment history. Net proceeds will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

We've added five more pieces to our World of Warcraft: Classes and Cataclysm Art galleries. These pieces offer an inside look at the creative process behind building the Warcraft universe.

The World of Warcraft Fan Art Section has been updated with five new pieces of fan artwork.

During the scheduled server maintenance on the week of January 31, the Dragon Soul raid will become enveloped by the “Power of the Aspects” spell, reducing the health and damage dealt of all enemies in the raid by 5%. This spell will grow progressively stronger over time to reduce the difficulty and make the encounters more accessible. The spell will affect both normal and Heroic difficulties, but it will not affect the Looking for Raid difficulty.

The Scroll of Resurrection will temporarily be unavailable while it goes on cooldown. As of January 10, 2012 you will no longer be able to send Scroll of Resurrection invites to your friends with lapsed accounts. Never fear, once this ability refreshes, we’ll let you know. Keep an eye on the official World of Warcraft site for more information. To learn more about the Scroll of Resurrection, visit the FAQ.

Looks like your letter to Greatfather Winter didn't get lost. Previously sold out to BlizzCon attendees, the LARP edition Doomhammer from Epic Weapons is now restocked and available to the public for the first time! Weighing in at 3lbs, this 22" x 10" x 7" soft-yet-sturdy polyurethane and PVC replica is the perfect present for any warchief on your shopping list.

Merry New Year! The celebration begins at 6:00 a.m. Realm-Time December 31 with fireworks in the skies above the cities, and repeats every hour on the hour. Feel free to sample some of the exotic brews and libations carted in from around the world, and dance in celebration as a new year dawns. If you're on a PvP realm you're cautioned to steer clear of Booty Bay (or potentially visit with haste) as the guards there appear to have had too much fun already and aren't likely to be enforcing the town rules until morning.

Presents! There's now a presence of presents under the tree near Greatfather Winter in Orgrimmar for Horde, and Ironforge for Alliance. Be sure to stop by and pick up this year's exclusive gift before the event ends on January 2.

From everyone at Blizzard to you and yours, have a safe and happy holiday season…and you better watch out for this guy!

The sweets have been scrutinized, the cakes contemplated, and the cookies critiqued. With a twinkle in our eyes and a rumble in our stomachs, we’ve pored over the sprinkles and icings and are now pleased to announce your 2011 Holiday Dessert Contest winners and runners-up. Come on in, pull up a chair, and feast your eyes on these magnificent Blizzard-themed confections.

His bicycle tires don't run flat; they explode. When news breaks, he fixes it. His collection of vintage Blizzard memorabilia could fill a garage... and it does. They made a Diablo creature in his honor, but it was deemed too frightening to include in the game.

The wayward plans concocted by judges of the 2009 and 2010 Global Writing Contests have been foiled, and the Ocunomicon has been cast back into the howling Sightless Abyss whence it came. This victory would not have been possible without you, the writers, bravely wielding the ink-drenched Quills of a Thousand Truths! Even with two years' worth of ocular fortitude strengthening their retinal acumen, the judges were unable to withstand the sheer number and magnificent quality of this year's entries...

At Blizzard, we love running contests! Contests give you a chance to be creative and win prizes, and they give us a chance to display the awesome results of your creativity.  You can always find our current contests on the Blizzard Contest page.

Soon, we’ll be introducing a new feature called Battle.net Balance that will give players an alternate way to purchase Blizzard products and services directly through their Battle.net account. Players will be able to “charge up” their Battle.net Balance using a variety of payment methods, and then use their Battle.net Balance to buy services like World of Warcraft character transfers, digital products like pets and mounts, and more. Players will also be able to use their Battle.net Account Balance to buy items and store their earnings from Diablo III’s currency-based auction house once the game is released.
