Patch 3.2.2 - Onyxia returns!

From the World of Warcraft website:

After years of lurking in her lair, battling brave adventurers who travelled from afar, Onyxia has been reborn -- and she’s stronger than ever before. To commemorate the upcoming fifth anniversary of World of Warcraft, the classic Onyxia raid encounter has been updated in the newly released patch 3.2.2.

• Onyxia has been retuned to offer new challenges to level-80 players (in both 10- and 25-player modes) while keeping the fundamental experience of fighting her intact. Beware the Deep Breaths!
• Onyxia will now drop new level-80 gear featuring the aesthetics of loot from the original encounter.
• The luckiest adventurers will have a chance to receive the Brood of Onyxia, a very rare 310%-speed mount modeled after the Brood Mother herself.

Faction Change Service

From the World of Warcraft website

The new World of Warcraft Faction Change service is now live. As we mentioned previously, we've been in the process of developing a new service for World of Warcraft that will allow players to change their faction from Alliance to Horde or Horde to Alliance for a fee. After purchasing a Faction Change for a character, a player can choose any race of the opposite faction that is compatible with the character’s class. For more information on the Faction Change service, please read the FAQ, or visit theFaction Change page to get started.

Based on further community feedback, we have also decided to offer a race change service in the future. Players who choose to switch races will be able to change their race within their same faction and class. Additional details will be released at a future date.
