Activision Earnings Report: WoW Up to 7.8 Million Subscribers
Today at 4:30 p.m. EST, Activision Blizzard’s management hosted a conference call discussing the company’s results for the last quarter of 2013. According to the
Earnings Report
released earlier today, WoW subs are at 7.8 million as of December 31st, up from 7.6 million announced at the end of Quarter 3. Blizzard described their 4th-quarter earnings as "better-than-expected."

In the last quarter of 2013, we've seen the
$4.99 holiday sale

revamped Recruit-a-Friend program

PvP Season 14 Ending Soon
Blizzard just published a blog on the upcoming end of PvP Season 14--which could end in as little as two weeks. Past end-of-season announcements have been tied to
new major patches
, so it's reasonable to speculate that Season 14's end will be close to Patch 5.4.7's launch.
Season 15 will begin approximately a week after the end of Season 14.
As for Season 15 Prideful PvP gear, it's ilvl 550 and shares models with Season 14 PvP gear. However, the colors are swapped between factions so there's no faction-exclusive colors anymore.
For example, if you want to get the
iconic blue priest set with white Tyrael wings
, you can either spend
in Season 15 as Alliance for ilvl 522 Grievous Gear, or
in Season 15 as Horde for ilvl 550 Prideful Gear.
If you want the
black/red version instead
, in Season 15 it will cost
for the Horde's ilvl 522 pieces and
for the Alliance's ilvl 550 pieces.

In Memory of Judy Freeman
Yesterday afternoon we learned that
ZAM
’s longtime copy editor, Judy Freeman, passed away from lung cancer. Judy had been with ZAM since October 16, 2007.
From the start, Judy worked to clean up the scribbling of our various writers, journalists, and editors. Many of us across the network were fortunate to work with Judy, relying on her expertise to hold us up and shine the brightest light on our creative work. She never wanted to be in the spotlight, but quietly mentored a surprising number of people on the front lines of ZAM News. Chances are if you ever read
ZAM news
you've read something she touched.
Thank you, Judy, for the time that you spent with us at ZAM. It ended far sooner than we all ever expected.

5.4.7 PTR: Purchasing Level 90 Character Boosts
The
5.4.7 PTR started last week
, and while the in-game shop didn't support Level 90 Character Upgrades on Friday, it now lets players test part of the process. The other notable addition to the PTR Blizzard Shop is the return of
Gran Destriero di Tyrael
, originally from the Diablo III Annual Pass--although it has a quite silly description, so it may be a joke.
Players can now test out most of the steps to obtaining a Level 90 Character Upgrade on the PTR.
The in-game shop has a new section: Test. From there, players have the option to select a Level 90 Character Upgrade and pay in test currency.
After making the transaction, you have the option to boost an existing character or to create a new character for Step 1.
For Step 2, you must select a specialization. Then, hit the Level Up! button.
Level 1 characters do not receive a "Veteran" bonus--but level 60+ characters receive a profession boost to their existing professions.
If you choose to upgrade a character in-game, you must log out to upgrade your character.
Currently, the Level up! button does not work on the PTR an

5.4.7 PTR Patch Notes
Blizzard just published the initial 5.4.7 PTR Patch Notes, covering the next minipatch of Mists of Pandaria. While this didn't clarify all of the
datamining we unearthed earlier
, such as level 90 character boosts, it did talk about PvP Season 15 starting and Timeless Isle weapons being ilvl 489 up from ilvl 476.
And while not included in the patch notes, the 5.4.7 PTR Pet Journal lists the
Cucciolo del Terrore

Patch 5.4.7 PTR: WoD CE Mount and Pet, Level 90 Boosts, Season 15 PvP Gear
A new PTR build was datamined today--there are lots of new global strings, including "Your Level 90 Character Upgrade is Ready!" Blizzard posted
last week
that in the next PTR, players could test ways to boost characters to 90.
There are also strings implying you could perhaps select professions as well--"CHARACTER_UPGRADE_PROFESSION_BOOST: Level 60+ characters will also receive a skill level boost to their primary professions." We don't know anything for certain though--we'll update when the PTR is playable.
While many spell changes are tooltip fixes for old hotfixes, there's a new mount and pet--Warlords of Draenor collector edition items. The names sound similar to this picture of a flying raven teased by Blizzard a few days ago:
Redini del Corvo del Terrore
Cucciolo del Terrore
