WoW - new patch / content before Wotlk

Quote :

With the release of Wrath of the Lich King approaching, we wanted to provide you with some important information. In preparation for the expansion, we will be issuing a new content patch in the coming weeks. Much like the patch made available shortly before The Burning Crusade's release, this content patch is designed to bridge current game content with that of the expansion and will contain some exciting changes and additions.

We have outlined some of the larger features scheduled to release with the patch below:

New class spells and talents
Stormwind Harbor
Barbershops in capital cities
Zeppelin towers outside of Orgrimmar and Tirisfal Glades
Two brand-new Arenas featuring challenging new layouts, terrain hazards, and moving obstacles
Guild calendar
Hunter pet skill revamp
New profession: Inscription

As mentioned above, this is not a comprehensive list, just some of the major highlights. We’ll post the full patch notes as soon as they’re available. Regarding Inscription, please note that all Burning Crusade players will be able to select Inscription as one of their two professions and level up to a skill level of 375 with it. Upon the release of Wrath of the Lich King, players who purchase and install the expansion will be able to continue leveling in Inscription and the other professions beyond 375.

New class spells and talents

- When you previously killed stuff in 1.2 seconds, kill stuff now in 0.9 seconds, with new Talents (read: trivial percentage increases)
- Use cool (unimaginative mumbo jumbo) new talent skills!

Quote :

Stormwind Harbor

- See the place that you will not be seeing in WotLK past the 2 minutes you spend there for the first boatride before you can set your HS to some trivally pointless town in Northrend.

Quote :

Barbershops in capital cities

- Change your Blood-elf Paladin's hair into doubly faggyer style

Quote :

Zeppelin towers outside of Orgrimmar and Tirisfal Glades

- They were not there before, were they?

Quote :

Two brand-new Arenas featuring challenging new layouts, terrain hazards, and moving obstacles

- 2 new sandboxes to grind gear in. A Double whammie of disillusionment!

Quote :

Guild calendar

- New ways to schedule the time when you have to go into a cave and die to monsters for six and a half hours.

Quote :

Hunter pet skill revamp

- 0.01346% increase in RAW DPS!

Quote :

New profession: Inscription

- Spend hours and hours on end on grinding new crafting materials.
- Spend thousands of pieces of gold on buying the new must have inscriptions.

Hahaha that was a funny review of the upcoming changes. But seriously - barbershops pwn!

I shouldn't care, but I'd love to see the Stormwind harbor

Moomooh, trust me, you dont. Its a harbor, an open area, with basic piers & docks around. And some steam engined sailships hang around. Not worth paying a subscription fee.

A postcard or two from Jukaï should suffice.

Jukaï.... lol....
