We know – you love WoW Insider, Joystiq's very own World of Warcraft blog. You read everything from the latest breaking news straight out of Azeroth, to every little detail on every little patch, to the guild drama (oh the drama!). Tonight, WoW Insider is undergoing a substantial change.
Introducing WoW.com, the new home of WoW Insider. Pretty nice digs, right? As long as we've got a new domain to call home, we thought we'd spruce the place up. First, you'll notice a new, streamlined design that puts the emphasis on what you're there to see: the content! But we're bringing you more than just a shiny new paint job and a new address. We're also excited about the beta launch of WoW.com Profiles! Check out the welcome post at Insid ... err, WoW.com for details on what you can do with this new functionality (spoiler: show off your characters, make blog posts and galleries, and download the WoW.com addon, to name a few things).
Before you go over there and check the place out, join me in extending a huge thanks to everyone involved in the development and launch of WoW.com. From the GameDaily team: John Benyamine, Willis Lambert, Paul Heuts, and Patrick Lucas. From the Joystiq team: Elizabeth Harper, Justin Glow, Barb Dybwad, and the entire WoW.com team. And lastly, from the Weblogs team: Matt Heerema, Erik Sagen, and Brad Hill.

Yeah, I'm surprised ActiBliz doesn't own it...
I wonder if they'll buy it at a high price.

Yeah, I noticed that one time I was trying to get to the official WoW site and so, without thinking, I typed in WoW.com, and it took me to WoW insider. I jumped up, finger pointed in the air, and yelled out to no one in particular, "Something is awry here!"

It's kind of funny that everyone is commenting on the domain and not on the news of the domain change.
But damn, that's a good domain.

Congrats for putting that AOL money to work, that had to be a 6 figure domain at least.
