The biggest change is ofcourse the mount, now at lvl 30. I have no more characters in that range so it won't benefit me. Nor do I plan to ever start a new one again to be honest. ... http://schoneveld.com/wp/2008/07/16/patch-243-is-live/ Season 4 kicked off today here in Europe. The hall of legends was packed with customers, anxious to spend their hard earned honour ! As I haven't played much lately, I didn't buy a whole lot, because I didn't have my honour maxed out. But I got new shoulders ... http://schoneveld.com/wp/2008/06/25/season-4/ A new patch is coming soon. Highlights : A mount for you alt at lvl 30, and new bags.

As it turned out, it's more of an event. Never done it before, weird enough, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. Our group makeup with shaman, pally, mage, rogue and mage was a bit odd, but ... http://schoneveld.com/wp/2008/05/22/ring-of-blood/ Wow Insider has a nice round up of this week's latest news and interesting views at http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/05/20/the-tuesday-morning-post/ Quite a bit of WOTLK news and specifically Deathknight news / speculation ;). http://schoneveld.com/wp/2008/05/20/news-and-views/ Wrath of the Lich King 10 Minutes Trailer from Boubouille on Vimeo. Not all that impressive to be honest. A lot of reused textures and models. Also I think the graphical engine is starting to look it's age. It's 4 - 5 years old by now and it's showing. Why is it ... http://schoneveld.com/wp/2008/05/12/wrath-of-the-lich-king-trailer/
