An exciting rumor is floating around the gaming world. Thanks to the power of data mining, hackers have uncovered some interesting new data in the newest patch of World of Warcraft. Hidden in the patch are Halloween mask models, which are used during the in-game Halloween festivities, allowing your toon to dress up like a different race.

The important piece of information here is the the appearance of Goblin and Worgen masks. In years past, the masks have traditionally been able to disguise characters as races already present in the game. These mask models could suggest that the Goblin and Worgen will be included as new playable races in the next expansion, rumored to be called Cataclysm.

What’s particularly interesting is that until now, I don’t recall ever seeing a Worgen which appeared so feminine. In fact, these Worgen would appear to be a different species than their wilder kin. The Gnome would be a suitable addition to the horde, a counter to the tiny alliance Gnomes.

If you just so happen to play World Of Warcraft all day and night, then you obviously have the game installed on your computer. Did you know that you have access to the Wrath Of The Lich King game manual before the game has been released? Well, you do.

Blizzard either underestimates the nosiness of its players or they just don’t care that you can gain access to the manual by simply going to your World Of Warcraft game folder. In the “\Data\enUS\Documentation” folder you’ll find a file called “Manual_WLK.pdf”. I think “WLK” stands for Wrath Of The Lich King, but I have no confirmation, it’s just guess; a shot in the dark.

Many of you World Of Warcraft addicts have been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. It’s the moment where logging on to play your character doesn’t leave you with a fruitless goal of doing nothing more than obtaining gear because now, once again, the level cap will be raised. That means more grinding which will then lead to more talent points and those points will lead to more kills in PvP.

Wrath of the Lich King has been given an official release date of November 13th. So you better make sure your experience bar is fully rested. You wouldn’t want to waste all that time in the new zones for nothing, now would you? Hit the jump for details on the collectors edition :
