Daelo on Icecrown Citadel Attempts on Normal (src)

After each region's maintenance this week, raids will no longer lose attempts on wipes in Normal mode for Professor Putricide, Blood-Queen Lana'thel, Sindragosa, and the Lich King. There will still be limited attempts in Heroic mode.
 
 We will continue to monitor developments in Icecrown Citadel in the future, especially since the Heroic difficulty has been unlocked by a significant number of raids.

Follow up time!
 
Q: If you extend your raid lockout this week, will you still lose attempts on Normal after the hotfix?
 A: No.
 
Q: If you run completely out of attempts on Heroic, will the wing bosses and Lich King no longer respawn, even if the difficulty is switched to Normal?
 A: YES. So leave an attempt left if you wish to kill them on Normal. I'll try and correct this in a future update.
 
Q: Why is the counter still visible in Normal?
 A: The hotfix being applied just stops the counter decrementing, and nothing more.

Wryxian on Love is in the Air! (Source)

Something is in the air in the major cities of Azeroth. Some call it love, and some just call it friendship and admiration. Whichever it is, many guards and townsfolks now spend their days giving and receiving tokens and gifts to other amorous citizens. The more skeptical, however, are suspicious of the strange 'love sickness' clouding the hearts of so many...

Don't miss the exciting gift exchange and worldwide popularity contest to hit Azeroth when love is in the air!
