World of WarCraft Patch 2.4 Officially Up
by Dan Landis on March 25, 2008
World of WarCraft’s latest patch, dubbed “Fury of the Sunwell”, is alive and kicking as of right now. Jump on your epic mount and find out what’s new.
The official description of the patch is as follows:
The glorious fount of arcane energy known as the Sunwell empowered the high elves for millennia, until the death knight Arthas laid siege to the elven kingdom and corrupted its sacred energies. Seeing no other alternative, a band of survivors led by Prince Kael’thas destroyed the ancient fount. Over time the surviving elves fell pray to a crippling magical withdrawal.
Now, promising salvation for his people, Kael’thas has returned. Soon the Sunwell will shine once again, but whether the sacred fount will usher in deliverance or destruction remains to be seen.
A full list of the patch notes can be found here (good luck getting it to load within the next 3 days though). In addition to all of the changes (some for the worse depending on your perspective and/or class), Blizzard has dedicated this update in memory of Gary Gygax, one of the creative minds behind the epitome of dorkdom: Dungeons and Dragons.
It’s nice to see that Blizzard still remembers where all their inspiration came from — now they just need to set the record straight on how much they ripped off Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 (WarCraft and StarCraft, respectively).
A good many of you will be saddened to learn that the Human Illusion from the Noggenfogger Elixir no longer works outside of Old Hillsbrad. This, as you may know, is not the first time Blizzard has removed or changed something that people do just for kicks and has no real impact on the gameplay. Blizzard simply doesn’t like it if you to have too much fun.

Yes, I happened to be wearing my +1 Gloves of Nerdy Dorkitude when I typed this up.

Dennis, if you haven’t played WOW, then you wouldn’t understand about the elixir, and I would venture to say that you don’t have the brains to understand the reply that was given :) That was great, can I get a pair of those gloves? I couldn’t agree more with what was written about the patch, it has it’s problems… but overall it is one heck of a job. Nice write up Dan.

I guess I have no brains then. I am a sad sort. You must love your WoW very much to get so offended and insultive.
