Cataclysm: No plans to extend current heirlooms to 85
There's been quite a burst of blue posts on the official forums post- BlizzCon ; some by World Event Designer Kisirani talking about lore and the post-Cataclysm world , some by Lead Systems Designer Ghostcrawler talking about new game systems coming with 4.0 , and some by the Community Managers, providing slightly less meaty morsels of information. It's not all chaff from the CMs, though -- there's some wheat in there. Bornakk, for example, stopped by a thread asking about how heirloom items will work post-80 in Cataclysm .

Activision-Blizzard and their financial future
Barron's has a long article up about Blizzard's corporate overlords at Activision-Blizzard , and as is usual with most pieces of Activision news, people will probably see in it what they want to see. Those who think Bobby Kotick is just a money-grubbing exploiter will find more fuel for their firey fanboy rage: apparently he's a follower of Las Vegas casino entrepreneur Steve Wynn , and is modeling some of Activision-Blizzard's business plan off of that guy, Shareholders, however, will probably be thrilled. In terms of a purely financial sense, Activision-Blizzard is apparently one of the shinest futures around, with Kotick bragging that videogames will eclipse film and TV in terms of moneymaking in just a few years
