Popcap's addons updated

Popcap kindly sent us a note to say that both of their free addons (Bejeweled and Peggle) for World of Warcraft have seen updates lately, so if you're still playing the versions you downloaded when they first came out, better give them a refresh. Bejeweled, the classic gem matching game, is now up to 1.1, and features a completely updated score system (you'll be asked to convert it the first time you load) that tracks all kinds of new features. In addition, the Achievements now have their own screen, so they're all easier to track as well. And a bunch of bug fixes have gone in, to make the game smoother and faster.And Peggle has reached 1.02, with some new code to try and keep users with different versions from having compatibility problems, as well as a few options to keep the chatspam down to a minimum. If your guild is angry that you keep accidentally hitting "Publish" and getting your score in their guild chat, get this new version, as it allows you to control where that goes, as well as change the name from "Publish" to "Brag," to more accurately describe what it is.
Both versions can be downloaded right over on Popcap's WoW site, or from the usual suspects at your favorite addon databases. It's great that they're still updating these (still for free!), but, completely selfishly, we still kind of want Zuma next.

Most useful add-ons for raiding in the game :)
also the only type of "PvP" I actually do in the game nowadays is Peggle matches and Bejeweled leader board games xD

Unfortunately for those of you who enjoy dueling on Peggle the latest patch of it seems to be bugged. Peggle v1.2 appears to be unable to recognize that you opponent has the addon installed and turned on. I have done a little testing on this with numerous people in my guild and around my server but none of them seem capable of initiating or accepting any form of peggle related connection with other players.
This is a bit irritating as my guild was to have a Peggle tournament soon...

Awesome. I love Bejeweled for WoW. Glad to see they're keeping it updated.
