WEEK OF DECEMBER 7th-14th

Sorry im a day late on the article this week guys.. well here is this week in wow. Hope you enjoy

PATCH 3.3!!
Thats right guys, im sure 99.9% of you are well aware that patch 3.3 is now live. This is the final major content patch of WOTLK before Cataclysm. It brings us Icecrown Citadel, the palace of Arthas The Lich King himself (Though Arthas is not officially live as of yet). The first days of the patch brought us 3 new 5 man dungeons and a raid.

I got a chance to run a little bit of the new content myself this week and I am very impressed.. much more than I was with patch 3.2 in all honesty. The one interesting thing about Icecrown Citadel in my opinion is that unlike any other zone.. we are able to face Arthas in both a 5 man heroic version (halls of reflection), and also in the 10/25 man version of the Icecrown Citadel raid. This allows some of the more casual players to get a look at the Lich King, but also allows the more seasoned core raiders to take him on in a full out 25 man raid environment with some very nice loot to boot!

OFFICIAL PATCH NOTES OUTLINING ALL THE CHANGES CAN BE FOUND HERE!

New Exclusive Core Hound Pet!
In an attempt to get more players to purchase the Blizzard Authenticator, and to increase account security- Blizzard has recently introduced a new non-combat pet with a classic Molten Core theme. The core hound is now obtainable by anyone who attaches a new authenticator to their World of Warcraft account.

The pet can be obtained either by ordering an acctual authenticator from the blizzard store... or by downloading the authenticator app to your compatible Iphone or other mobile phone.

Big week guys... but unfortunately not to much to write about aside from the major patch that you should all be off playing!!

ENJOY AND HAPPY GAMING!!!
