Overwatch Trademark
With Blizzcon approaching, now is a good time to remind everyone of the Overwatch trademark that Blizzard filed for earlier this year. Three different applications for Overwatch have been filed so far:
Eye of Azshara Trademark
A trademark application for "Eye of Azshara" has appeared in the EU Trademark database. If this trademark is legitimate, it could be related to the next Hearthstone expansion. Our friends over at Hearthpwn have more details.
Darkmoon Faire Updates
The Darkmoon Faire is here once again, bringing some new features thanks to the Warlords of Draenor update. There are some new cloth novelty items for sale for 205 Darkmoon Tickets for the set of 3, the Haunting Memento for 90 x Darkmoon Tickets, and the Last Deck of Nemelex Xobeh for 130 x Darkmoon Tickets.
Several old items are now toys, such as Moonfang's loot, the Darkmoon Whistle, and the Flimsy Yellow Balloon.
The most interesting addition is the Blazing Wings. These are a set of cosmetic fiery wings that appear on your character. The one hour buff is granted by a toy that has a character specific one hour cooldown. This means you can have wings on your character constantly, as long as you don't die!
The wings are earned through the achievement Brood of Alysrazor, which requires you to fly through 50 rings, similar to the rings that appear in the Alysrazor encounter in Firelands. This challenging part of this achievement is that the rings are shared by everyone and there are only slightly more than you need, so only one person can do the achievement at a time. It looks like this is unintended though, so if you aren't in a hurry you can wait and see if a hotfix is coming soon.
