WoW Patched

A new version 3.3 is live for World of Warcraft, Blizzard's MMORPG, offering a number of changes and fixes, as well as the launch of the Icecrown Citadel, which includes three five-player dungeons. All the changes are outlined in the WoW Test Realm Patch Notes, and manual versions of some of the patches for the various localized versions of the game can be found on ActionTrip, AtomicGamer, FileFront, The Patches Scrolls, and WorthPlaying.

Eh, I am mixed about things.

I just went through some major guild dRaMaZ and haven't really played the game for the past few weeks.
I expected the guild to follow its rules. Unfortunately, it was a real-world clique.
On one hand, I miss parts of the game like the weekly struggle to accomplish the next goal with a large group of people.

On the other hand, it's nice to have nights to myself or let me post-work day play out in a casual way. Also, I dread the whole guild initiation process - the begging to join, the jaded criticism, and dynamics of politics in a game that is based around hunting down the next gear upgrade.

It's weird, too, because I either need to start playing immediately while my gear is still current, else I will endlessly be behind the gear curve and really shouldn't bother until the next expansion semi-resets everything. After the last two-plus years of constant raiding, it's a little peculair (and extremely pathetic. )

As for LK, I think Blizzard really fine tuned a lot of mechanics, but it has simultaneously made some out of the blue changes that reinforce the idea that it really doesn't know what to do with the game in the long term. More than anything, the lack of varied content combined with the excessive rehashing of supplied content (5 person, 10 person, 25 person, hard mode for all, heroic mode for all) is a bit tiring. As ever, I think Blizzard has achieve some phenomenal lows in customer service, particularly on its forums.

Really tempted by that Lost Blu-Ray collection deal on Amazon...,
