What other game can you think of that is so epic, it needs trailers just for a new patch. The only one I can muster up is none other then World of Warcraft. Yesterday marked the launch of Blizzards 3.3 patch for World of Warcraft. Some of the change log included big changes to the game such as.
- Icecrown Citadel: The Frozen Throne
- Icecrown Citadel: The Forzen Halls
- Tier 10 Armour Sets
- Cross-Realm Dungeon Finder
- Quest Tracker
To look at the newest patch notes check out Blizzards official patch notes. Here We’ll leave you with the newly released Trailer for Patch 3.3. Enjoy
So here we are again, on the verge of the final major patch of this expansion. It feels like only yesterday when we were all raging at M’uru wipes. Here’s a brief overview and reaction to the upcoming patch.
There are a LOT of changes coming to the new player experience system. Believe it or not there are still people out there that don’t play this game. I know it’s hard to believe! Between not getting dazed any more in the first five levels and rogues starting out actually dual-wielding, I’d say this is a welcome improvement for new and old players alike. Updated tooltips will help better explain what your abilities actually do to a newbie. These changes are awesome and will vastly improve new player experience.
5 Reasons to Celebrate World of Warcraft’s 5 Year Anniversary
So what’s the big deal about the 5 Year anniversarry of World of Warcraft? in one word: ALOTLOL!
1. Get A Cool Pet! – Any character that logs into the game between now and Sunday, December 6 at 11:59 p.m. will receive an Onyxian Whelpling pet. This non-combat pet will be available for a limited time only.
2. Onyxia Raid Upgrade - Onyxia, the Brood Mother is getting a new model, a heroic mode, and a 310% speed flying mount drop. The update to Onyxia will convert the dungeon into a 10-player mode with a 25-player Heroic mode for the daft and celebrated. Here’s what Blizzard says on this “Loot will include Tier 2 helms, with stats updated to match the current level of content. There will be a special new item too: a normal drake-sized 310% speed flying mount modeled after Onyxia herself called an Onyxia Broodling. We will also be updating the encounter mechanics to be more fitting for modern raiding, but we can guarantee players will get to experience the frightening horror of deep breaths once again.”
3. World of Warcraft 5 Year Sweepstakes – Blizzard is running a 5 year Anniversarry World of Warcraft Swepstakes and will be giving out weekly prizes to players as a way to say “thanks” for being a part of the World of Warcraft community these past five years. >>>check it out

5. The World of Warcraft Battlecry Campaign – This, also, is not bad… players take a photo of themselves with the Horde or Alliance logo in hand and submit it online. The ‘image collective’ is then organized into a mosaic and you can monitor the progress visually on the Battlecry campaign site. The greater the number of photos submitted, the more artwork Blizzard unlocks on the website. Once the total number of submissions reaches the threshold, an exclusive piece of art is revealed in a master mosaic.

In the Land of Azeroth there are tonnes of secret NPC, Items, Weapons, and general name drops that make refrence to other movies, games or media. Here is a list of a bunch we have found while scouring the net.
Video Games
Diablo I & II � The weapon “Wirt’s Third Leg” is a reference to the character of Wirt the peg-legged boy from Diablo, and his wooden leg which you could actually pick up and wield as a weapon after Wirt’s death in Diablo II. “The Cow King’s Hide” is a piece of chest armor which can be looted from Onyxia and other random world Mobs, and it refers to The Cow King from Diablo II, located on the real Cow Level. The enemy Razorclaw the Butcher and the item Butcher’s Cleaver are references to the overlord unique monster in Diablo 1 and the item he dropped. The item Shadowfang is a reference to the sword of the same name in Diablo II. One of the tips displayed as the player logs in to the game is ‘There is no cow level’, a reference to the fact that there was no cow level in Diablo I. The phrase ‘There is no cow level’ is also the instant victory cheat code in the Blizzard RTS Starcraft. WoW players who purchase the collectors edition receive a gift coupon in-game which can be redeemed for a mini-Diablo pet.
Donkey Kong � In Un’ Goro Crater, the gorillas sometimes drop an item named “Empty Barrel”, a reference to Donkey Kong throwing barrels at Mario in the Nintendo arcade game and the continued importance of barrels in the Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong 64 series.

Steel Series has announced this week that new features will be available to those who use their World of Warcraft Mouse. With the release of patch 3.2.2 you will now be able to bind your keyset from within the game using a newly added UI. The process is simple and is easily explained on Steel Series site in 10 steps. You can program the mouse with over 130 pre-set commands or create your own custom macro. Originally you would have to exit the game and use an external program the buttons individually and it would import it in, but this new feature is sure to speed up response time now that it is going straight through the game it’s self as well as give some extra points in favor of picking up this awesome piece of Warcraft Merch.
With a new patch always comes it’s sets of ups and downs. Blizzards latest news of a new dungeon system seems to be quite the downer indeed. For those of you not familiar with PUGs (Pick-up Groups) they are not something of a hot commodity in the gaming community. Think of it like this, instead of going into a raid with all of your fellow guildmates and friends, you will be matched up with random people who you probably never have met. They COULD Be the best player this game has ever seen, on the other hand they COULD be a complete and total noob! This has been done by many other games in the past, one being Guild Wars. It did not receive very good reviews there and we doubt it will do much different in Azeroth.
The new dungeon system is not the only worth while feature coming up in the new patch. along side it are such features as:
