From the Warcraft forums, a discussion about the good ole days in Beta — “Cool Beta features that were Removed”. (title edited for clarity because the public schools have, apparently, completely given up.) The beta crowd reminisces about invisibility, Old Ironforge and death-touching Guardians. Additional beta screenshots found here by an industrious Googler. (As with all Warcraft forum links, the thread will expire and disappear into the Internet Trash Bin. READ IT NOW.)
Warcraft patch 1.9 introduced that colossal server-wide quest to open the gates of Ahn’Qiraj — it primarily involves pulling 3.85 million resources out of the economy. (I’ll be keeping my runecloth and thorium, thankyouverymuch.) You can watch the server races at Ahn’Qiraj War Supplies Server Rankings. Since that site doesn’t include details of how the census data is polled, I can’t comment on the accuracy other than the totals required is accurate and my own server’s status is approximately correct. Details of the resource requirements can be found at WoW Insider.
Found and stolen from Uruloki’s sidebar: World of Warcraft Macros. Organized by category and class, site also includes tutorials for scripting your own. Most popular macro: Dance on your back. You could pull a harassment /report if you time this one right. (Hint: Best defense = wha??? it’s obviously a bug!)
