Just another WoW blog...

Hello, friends! ...and welcome to the new Deathonabun blog. This is now a World of Warcraft blog, so that's what my posts will be focusing on going forward, with the possibility of some Star Wars: The Old Republic commentary as well.

So, with that being said, let's go over what we can look forward to in the coming weeks in World of Warcraft. Well, primarily, I'm expecting patch 4.3 to be deployed on live servers on either November 29th, or December 6th. This will bring 3 new 5-player dungeons, a completely revamped Darkmoon Fair, and a new tier of raid content in the form of a raid called "The Dragon Soul," in which players will finally be dispatching the primary villain of the expansion, Deathwing. On the feature side, we'll be getting transmogrification, void storage, and a Looking-for-Raid system which will function much like the current Looking-for-Dungeon system but will offer a somewhat easier raiding experience than the more organized raiding you may be used to. The catch? (There's always a catch, right?) Well, the loot just won't be as powerful. Welfare epics, indeed. However, I think it may be a great way to gear your alts.

As for SW:TOR, it officially hits store shelves on December 20th, although players who have pre-orders will be invited to begin playing as early as 1 week in advance. Beta is still on-going, and yours truly will be taking a look at it this weekend. It seems this is the weekend where pretty much everyone who is interested in beta will be getting in because Bioware has shifted their focus from game-testing to stress-testing. That being said, I expect to see a game that will be virtually indistinguishable from the product they'll be shipping in a few weeks.

If there's something specific you would like to see on this blog, please let me know in the comments below. I'm open to covering anything from tips for beginners to advanced theory crafting. Just don't ask me about PvP.  lol.
