Patch 3.3 should be available on all servers now, it's time for blue posts ... See you in a few hours for a lot of epics!
Core Hound Pup
Nethaera revealed something very interesting about the Core Hound Pup ... You can get it just by getting an Authenticator! It will work with the physical authenticator from the Blizzard Store and the mobile version as well.

The Core Hound Pup is a gift for anyone using an authenticator (attached to an account) whether it's the physical authenticator or the mobile authenticator. Anyone who attaches an authenticator will also receive this lovable new pet. Think of it as your own personal guard dog.
Second wing of Icecrown Citadel will open in 28 Days
Icecrown Citadel opened with 4 bosses available: Lord Marrowgar, Lady Deathwhisper, Gunship Battle, Deathbringer Saurfang.
It will take a few weeks before players can reach the next 3 bosses: Rotface, Festergut, Professor Putricide. You can check how many days are left before the next unlock by talking to your faction NPC (Saurfang/Muradin) after defeating Deathbringer Saurfang. Thanks to Eisley from Eclipsed (US-Destromath) for the screenshot.
The next unlock will happen on January 5th, if each wing is unlocked after a month it means that we won't see Arthas before April but if I had to give my opinion I would say that it will probably be faster than that. The 4 weeks are probably here to let people test the rest of the content without focusing too much on raid instances.
