WoW Rookie is brought to our readers to help our newest players get acclimated to the game. Make sure you send a note to WoW Insider if you have suggestions for what new players need to know.

This has been an exciting week for World of Warcraft news and rumors. Blizzard has been hosting two major events Blizzcon and the World Wide Invitational. These events are a hotbed of information about WoW and other Blizzard Entertainment games. Here at WoW Insider we work hard to keep you on top of all of the latest developments in our beloved game. I'm sure you were aware, but this past weekend saw Blizzard's World Wide Invitational in Paris, France. Let's take a look at the kinds of information that we receive.

We did not get the piece of information that I was most hoping for: A release date for Wrath of the Lich King. Not even a beta date. Now there are a number of websites that have pre-order dates for Wrath, but none of them can be trusted as an actual estimation. We will get our new expansion "when it's ready." Blizzard is the only trustworthy source of this information. We will get that bit of information out as soon as it's available from the source.

Gamers on the Street logs onto U.S. servers to get the word from the front on what's going on in and around the World of Warcraft.

Are you spending Monday digging through the pile of Wrath of the Lich King news from this weekend's Worldwide Invitational in Paris -- or is today (and the remaining months leading up to the expansion's release) just another day in the World of Warcraft for you? We popped on to Warsong server this morning, where Stormwind was positively bristling with activity: guild and Arena team recruiting, a PuG for Zul'Aman forming, plenty of spam for various heroics, and a healthy number of twinks going about their Old World business.

I had expected to encounter a fair number of players who weren't aware of this weekend's deluge of Wrath news - or who plain didn't care - but instead, I was met with nothing but enthusiasm. So I pulled up my trusty 3-bubbles-of-xp, level 1 warrior to the steps of the bank to visit with Zidona, a Night Elf Rogue I'd noticed vigorously recruiting (in Spanish, from his home in Brazil) for fresh blood for his guild, Viral.

Entitled, because heroes deserve it.

Beta warning!

This is a beta quality mod, and it may stay that way for a while.

What does it do, then?

Are you one of those smug--err... lucky buggers who has lots and lots of player titles? This is a mod that lets all your titles get a look in, as it calls a new title every minute, and once it's gone through all your titles, it'll start over!

This is a no-configuration mod, so all you should have to do is drop it in your Addon folder and it'll work (except when it doesn't, but I'm hoping that won't ever be the case).

Anything I should know?

If you don't have any titles, Entitled will automatically disable itself.

Also, if the minute length is too long/short for you, you can edit the lua and change it yourself. Near the top there's a line that reads:

local interval = 60 -- Amount of time between title switching.

Change the 60 to whatever you like.

You can also (in the new beta) set which title you'd like to start with, by changing the number in the line that reads:

local current = 1 -- The title number the cycling starts from.

The number represents your titles in the dropdown. For example: 3 would represent the third title in the dropdown of titles. (Also note, 1 will probably represent None in most cases, so you might want to change this to 2, but that's up to you!)

Why that name, eh?

Play on words, innit?

After all, the mod entitles you by giving you a title, therefore you are entitled. That and whomever happens to have numerous titles probably feels entitled to have each of them seen. So... Entitled! I think it's fitting.
