World of Warcraft Patch 2.3 Coming Next Week

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."

    Seriously though, this is GREAT NEWS! Think about this for a minute- While we tinker away all day and night coding out the new big thing with SQL, integrating modules into programs, and screaming at your computer monitor because of incompetent customers.... These kids sit around playing WoW. They are our stepping stones! They are the ones we can use to move forward in life. They are our next generation of fast food servers ready to take our orders! This thrills me, it means more and more people are too sucked into a game than to become competition for my job and power. Let them rot away in front of a computer playing games..... It gives me an edge. Call me an asshole, but remember It takes drive to make it to the top.

    And how much time do you waste reading articles about things you don't care about? Then how much time spent posting anonymously because it matters if people know your internet name? What a loser...

    Fuckin slashdotters... replying with a minor correction and not engaging the original question regarding the WOW acronym.
