This week on WoW.com saw World of Warcraft in the news yet again, when a man from Clearwater, Florida was arrested for fraud after he sold his WoW account and failed to hand over the goods. On the gameplay side of things, Lead Systems Designer Greg Street and Lead Producer J. Allen Brack hit Twitter to answer numerous questions about patch 3.3, Icecrown Citadel, and the upcoming expansion, Cataclysm.

For all of this and much more, keep reading to see the best of WoW.com from the last week.

It's been a busy week over at WoW.com and in the WoW world. We've heard from our sources late last week that the internal friends and family alpha will be beginning for the next World of Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm. And while this has lots of people excited, chances are you probably will never get in -- unless you know someone.

There were also lots of other interesting stories this past week, from the WoW movie being pushed up thanks to Spider-Man's demise, to security holes and care packages, to papercrafts that prove none of us have any real artistic talent.

The best of WoW.com for the week is after the break.

In the game itself, players continue to ride the waves of last month's release of patch 3.3 and Blizzard tries its hardest to bribe players into running one of Wrath of the Lich King's worst dungeons.

There have been widespread reports of earthquakes happening around Azeroth, seemingly at random. People believe that these earthquake are the beginning of a very large world event that will usher in WoW's third expansion, Cataclysm. After a bit of digging, WoW.com speculates that they might be coming form invisible mobs roaming around the virtual world. Blizzard has since come out and started slyly commenting on the in-game earthquake, neither denying nor supporting the conclusions drawn.

Of course, there's other things going on in the WoW universe as well, and after the cut we'll take a look at the top stories of the week.

Patch 3.3 is out in the World of Warcraft, and the game is experiencing a new influx of excitement. The new Dungeon Finder system means almost anyone can jump into an instance whenever they want, and new raiding and 5-man content means players are off and questing again. Just in case you're wondering what this new patch is all about, WoW.com has you covered.

You're probably familiar with them all by now -- but if you stopped paying attention to BlizzCon 2009 coverage after the welcome ceremony, you may have missed out on a ton of additional changes that will make their way into the almighty MMO around the time Cataclysm launches.

We've done our best to round these changes up into a single post -- as always, however, we have to defer to the experts over at Joystiq's Azeroth-obsessed sister site, WoW.com, for the super in-depth coverage. You'll find a bunch of links to their BlizzCon coverage embedded in our post after the jump -- curious parties are just one click away from total Cataclysmic enlightenment.

See that shocked look on Thrall's face above? That guy's the leader of the Horde, and he just read (on WoW.com, of course) that for the first time, players of World of Warcraft will be able to switch their factions -- players will be able to leave his Horde, and those dirty Alliance might come to his side. No wonder he's so shocked. That story and more in this week's most popular posts from Joystiq's Azeroth-obsessed sister site.

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.
