Just in case you missed them, here are some of the recent popular threads form our forums:

• New playable races you'd want in WOTLK - zmoericke asks what race we'd play out of all the races in WoW. Most people seem to want Goblins, i quite like Vrykul.

• Patch 2.4.2 Undocumented Changes - List of things that have changed in the patch, but weren't mentioned on the official patch notes.

• Riding training - A simple question from Megaboven about making enough gold to get your first mount, turns into a very informative thread about how to make a tidy sum in your early levels. Also, see Making money at the low levels? by Mtal.

• How many hero classes will there be? - zmoericke again, and this time he starts off a discussion about all the possible Hero classes.

• Anybody have a Good Battle plan for Alliance in AV? - Title speaks for itself, does Alliance even know the meaning of the word?! Another good thread from Wartro.

• My first Kara Run - Calanon shares his experience of his first Kara run. It's easy to see why Karazhan is still the most popular raid in WoW :)

• My account expires tomorrow - not sure if I should re-subscribe - Time for a break from WoW? Khab discusses this with many of us who have had some time out and found it sometimes refreshing.

• Diablo 3 and WWI in June - Asteria asks if you'd leave WoW for Diablo III if it gets announced any time soon.

• Lich King Release Date - Vivendi Let Slip - Blizzard's parent company announce when Lich King is scheduled for release - oops.

Some sad news for anyone who's been around since the start of WoW, as this guild name will surely ring a bell; A top US raiding guild, Death and Taxes has disbanded.

There has been no official announcement yet, but the front page of the Death and Taxes website is displaying a banner that reads "Rest in Peace Death and Taxes Beta 2004 - May 2008", which then goes on to list all their World first and US first kills, the most recent one being Illidan Stormrage almost 1 year ago.

The date of their last "first" perhaps goes a long way in explaining why the guild decided to call it quits. According to a source, D&T were having trouble keeping members after killing Illidan, with nothing new to try until recently when Sunwell came out, but by that time a lot of the damage had been done; A mass recruiting drive to make up the members they had lost resulted in a lower level of raiding quality than they were used to, and they found Sunwell a lot harder than they should have.

This must have been the last nail in the coffin for them. It's always sad to see things come to an end, but who knows, maybe we'll see something better rise from the ashes - word is, a lot of them are re-rolling Horde on the Blackrock server.
