Large Content Patch To Precede Upcoming WoW Expansion

Posted by Soulskill on from the three-point-oh dept.

Blizzard has announced they will be releasing a sizable patch to prepare for the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion to World of Warcraft. The patch, similar to one they released prior to the first expansion, will include the new profession (Inscription), new talents for each class, and two new arenas. The patch will be up on the Public Test Realm "soon," according to a Blizzard rep, but it will require significant testing before reaching the live servers. Blizzard developers Tom Chilton and J. Allen Brack gave a related interview recently to Videogamer in which they mentioned that a graphical reboot for World of Warcraft "may never be necessary." We've been following the development of Wrath of the Lich King for a while now.

    I played GAME for years - Then I realized that GAME was just a massive waste and only losers/basement-dwellers/twits/sexless-wonders play GAME anymore.

    Thank goodness I quit GAME! I can't believe anyone still plays GAME anymore! Everyone should quit!

    Besides, NEXT-GAME is the best thing ever! I don't even know why GAME makes news anymore!

      NEXT-GAME sucks and so do people who play it. Everyone who has a brain plays OBSCURE-GAME, it's so much better.

    Maybe if you paid more attention to her character and personality and less to her looks, you'd understand why her boyfriend played WoW all the time.

    Just a thought.

    It's not her who has the character, it's the boyfriend.

    I would never go out with someone just cause they had a level 70 though, pah.
