World of Warcraft Patch 2.3 Coming Next Week

Posted by Zonk on from the faster-leveling-equals-more-raiding dept.

Blizzard has officially announced that World of Warcraft Patch 2.3 will be dropped onto live servers next Tuesday. It's a huge update to the behemoth of Massively Mutiplayer games, including elements like a new raid zone called Zul'Aman, significant class changes, new questing content in the Dustwallow Marsh zone, and an increase in leveling speeds between 20-60. The full patch notes are available on the official site. "Elsewhere Guild Banks let you keep track of and organize your stocks much more efficiently, the Auction House has been revamped so it is easier to use, and you will be able to pick up daily quests so you have something to keep you from falling asleep as you go back to the same dungeons or battlegrounds again and again. The old 40-man Alterac Valley battleground has been fiddled with, too, so it should now have extra added fun, and those of you around the mid-level mark should head to Dustwallow Marsh for new quests and speedy leveling."

  1. Daily quests to keep me from falling asleep? by lonesome_coder · · Score: 5, Funny
    From TFS:

    and you will be able to pick up daily quests so you have something to keep you from falling asleep as you go back to the same dungeons or battlegrounds again and again. I know there are a lot of WoW bashers, but I have to assume there are some WoW players here as well. I don't know about the rest of you, but doing dailies makes me want to rip my hair out... ...well, I guess that does keep me from falling asleep.

    My question is how did he finish up his heroics today and still get time to read the article before the Tempest keep Raid in 20 minutes?

  4. BEST ACRONYM EVER by freshmayka · · Score: 2, Funny

    Quick question. Would World of Warcraft have been so successful had its acronym been something like:

    DOAC (Doh-Ahk)
    SWG (Swig)
    AO (Ayy-Ohh)
    EQ (Eee-Que)


    Instead the acronym is WoW... just WOW... I mean WOW!! People say WOW inside WOW all the time! Its a recursive and reinforcing acronym that keeps you locked into their subscription plan for all eternity!!!1

    And will be glad to use the Guild Banks to fill the coffers of Squirrelly Wrath, Blood Pact, and Care Bear guilds to the brim!

    At last I can store all those mechanical squirrel boxes for guild members!

    Whiny players claim this after every buff or nerf, major or minor. Shouldn't the WoW user base be in negative numbers by now?
