The Warcraft Perspective: Blizzard Prepares to enter a new age.

This is a public service announcement for all those who find themselves doing battle in the lands of Azeroth.

Whether your chant is "For the Horde!" or you prefer to grab a sword and fight the horde, this affects you.

From November 11th 2009 all WoW accounts will need to be tied to a battle.net account.

To compensate for the "hassle" everybody will receive an Oswald the Penguin ingame pet for changing over.

And don't worry if you have already made the switch, the penguin will be coming your way too.

Remember everyone, this move heralds a new age for blizzard games, including cross-realm and even cross-game chat with your closest of friends.

I personally can't wait until the capability of this system is realised with the release of Starcraft 2 in 2010.
