Patch 3.0.8 lands on World of Warcraft servers

World of Warcraft, Fantasy, Patches, News items

It's finally here, the first post-Wrath patch-of-important-things for World of Warcraft. And by "important things" we mean changes like allowing players to create a Death Knight on any server, so long as they have a level 55+ character on at least one server. There are also a bevy of class changes, as well as a pretty nifty launcher update that's added plenty of utility plus style. Overall, the 3.0.8 patch was quite beefy -- now we just have to sit tight for the eventual Icecrown patch to slam onto our harddrives.

If you really want to get the low-down on all changes both big and small, WoW Insider's got you covered. And if you're an Arcane Mage, then count yourself lucky as Blizzard saw fit to give out candies this go-around.

create a death knight on any realm did not make it into this patch, but still a nice patch :)

oh they updated the blue post some people can and some cannot :)

Don't bother with this patch, the northrend world server is currently bugged. Everytime Wintergrasp is won, it crashes.

and as soon as it restarts wintergrasp repops..........free honor plox?

How do you not bother with a mandatory patch? I've got raids to do :).

Quote from Blizzard: Concerning Naxxramas, optimizations are being made that will address both the latency and disconnection issues affecting players while in that zone. These optimizations will be included with the next minor content patch.

So things were supposed to be improved with this patch, but we had to call our raid early tonight because the lag is so unplayable. It's been bad for the past month or so, but it seems to be getting worse instead of better on my server, even after they allowed free character transfers to lessen the population. This is not a good time to be playing WoW.

We ran 25 man naxx last night and the disconnects were pretty much gone, but the lag persists in certain areas. Seems to be specifically the boss rooms now though instead of everywhere. The wintergrasp thing was annoying as im a elem shaman and wanted to go try my new lightning boltz out.
