Random Character Services Buttons

after purchasing any service, such as race, realm, or faction changes,
or character customization. If a character service button shows up next
to one of your characters, you can click it to make use of a free race
change or character customization (faction change coming soon). You can
make use of these buttons as often as you like, but the services for
which you’re selected are randomly chosen for you and will update every
hour. So, say if you don’t want to change your race but would like to
customize your appearance on a specific character, you will need to wait
for the right button to appear.
Please note that these buttons are only for beta testing purposes and are not intended to be released for free on live realms. We want beta testers to stress test our paid services so we can ensure they are operating smoothly when World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is released.

Master's License. When World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is released, players
who purchase the expansion will see this skill available from flight
trainers for 250 gold once they reach level 60. This new skill is
required for flying around all Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms zones,
including the new level 80-85 zones.
Battleground Titles and Achievements

Achievements are completed, and are triggered when specific Battleground
rating milestones are met. The titles remain the same as the original
PvP titles, however, players who obtained these titles from the original
Battleground ranking system will not lose them. The Feats of Strength
associated with the original titles have been altered slightly to denote
that they were earned under the old system, although the titles
themselves remain the same.
As of now, the first ranks -- Private for Alliance and Scout for Horde -- are earned when a player reaches a Battleground rating of 1100. The ranks increase every 100 rating points, up to Grand Marshal/High Warlord at 2400 rating. Titles earned through the new system are yours to keep and will not be wiped with each season.
In addition, all-new titles and Achievements will be added for top performers. Hero of the Alliance and Hero of the Horde will be awarded to players who finish a season in the top .5% of the rated Battleground ladder. These titles will be wiped at the end of each new season, however, a new Achievement will be awarded to players who earn this title each season. Let’s see how many seasons in a row you can stay in the top .5%!
