WoW Faction-Change Service
Posted by AmaZe on Tue Jun 30, 2009 07:37:14 (2 reads)
Blizzard Entertainment has revealed that they're working on a new service for their hit MMORPG, World of WarCraft, which will allow players to change their character's faction from Horde to Alliance or vice versa. No word on when the service will launch, but they do state it will come with some strict rules to maintain "the gameplay experience on the realms". Here's the scoop:
We wanted to give everyone a very early heads-up that, in response to player requests, we’re developing a new service for World of Warcraft that will allow players to change their faction from Alliance to Horde or Horde to Alliance. There’s still much work to do and many details to iron out, but the basic idea is that players will be able to use the service to transform an existing character into a roughly equivalent character of the opposing faction on the same realm. Players who ended up creating and leveling up characters on the opposite factions from their friends have been asking for this type of functionality for some time, and we’re pleased to be getting closer to being able to deliver it.
As with all of the features and services we offer, we intend to incorporate the faction-change service in a way that won’t disrupt the gameplay experience on the realms, and there will be some rules involved with when and how the service can be used. The number of variables involved increases the complexity of implementing this service, but we plan to take the time needed to ensure that it lives up to expectations before officially rolling it out. We’ll go into much more detail on all of this here at http://www.WorldofWarcraft.com as development progresses. In the meantime, we wanted to let you know that because this type of functionality requires extensive internal testing well in advance of release, you may be seeing bits and pieces of the service in the test builds we use for the public test realms moving forward.

World of Warcraft Patch 3.1.3 Coming Soon
Posted by AmaZe on Wed May 27, 2009 10:01:53 (7 reads)
Blizzard has announced an additional minor patch to World of Warcraft, 3.1.3. Unlike normal patches, this one is going to skip the test realms completely and is going to go directly live - probably because there are very few changes to begin with. Just a few minor class balance tweaks and a minor nerf to Mimiron encounter in Ulduar.
No date has been announced, but assuming normal Blizzard patch cycles, I'd expect this one to appear on US servers next Tuesday (2nd of June) and EU servers will follow a day later. Note that according to Blizzard, "these changes are subject to revision until the patch is officially released."
Read on for the patch notes.
World of Warcraft Client Patch 3.1.3

World of Warcraft Patch 3.1.2 Now Live
Posted by AmaZe on Wed May 20, 2009 14:00:46 (5 reads)
Blizzard has finally completed their work on the official Equipment Manager that got pushed from the Ulduar patch and has pushed World of Warcraft patch 3.1.2 live. US servers are already running the new version and EU servers are being patched as we speak. In addition to the equipment handling UI additions, Argent Tournament got upgraded reward mounts and a bunch of class tweaks were pushed live - with some of them being just tooltip fixes to match earlier hotfixes.
In addition to the patch 3.1.2 the servers have also received another bunch of nerfs to Ulduar to make it more drool-friendly. The fix to XT-002 hard mode was to be expected (it was effectively unkillable in 25-man before yesterday) but just like with Hodir, the fix was to make the hard mode so easy that every guild with a clue can now kill it without much effort. Oh, and something broke with Wintergrasp after the patch so the latest word is that the Wintergrasp keep fights are currently disabled on all servers.
Read on for the 3.1.2 patch notes and the latest round of hotfixes.
World of Warcraft Client Patch 3.1.2 - (2009-05-19)
