Incoming! Patch 1.11

According to WoWInsider the patch 1.11 is being applied today. Or tomorrow if you are playing on an European server like I do.

It will be interesting to see how the world event goes this time. The last world event, opening the gates of Ahn'qiraj, wasn't a big success in my opinion. By having most of the action happening in one zone, Blizzard only managed to demonstrate that if half of the players online assemble at the same place, you get unbearable lag and server crashes. But apparently they have learned and the Scourge invasion will take place in many different zones at once.

The biggest chunk of added content with the patch is the Naxxramas dungeon, which 99% of the players won't see before the end of the year, when going there with level 70 characters is hopefully feasible. So for casual players and weekend raiders like me, the big changes are the reworked talent trees for mages and shamans, the added flightpaths for Ratchet and Un'goro, and most important: the keyring. All of which are very nice. So let's hope for a smooth patch process and a lag- and crash-free world event, and everybody should be happy for a while.
