Patch 1.7 Preview!

[s]wow[/s]

Blizzard has opened up today the test realms to try out the new patch which is quite possibly the biggest patch that the Blizzard team has put out for the game so far!



There is tons of new content for everyone to play once this patch is released, which by my estimate would be in about two matinence days from now. A new high end raid dungeon, a new battlegrounds, a fishing event, and a dressing room! This isn't even getting into the changes they have made to Hunters, the interface, and many many quests have been added. We'll break down the two major content additions.

Zul'Gurub - New Raid Dungeon!
This is the biggest update for 1.7 with the addition of a twenty man raid dungeon in the ever popular Stranglethorn Vale. Expect STV to get quite busy with the addition of this and the fishing extravaganza soon! People will be lining up for this dungeon to get the chance to get a piece of the over 120 brand new epic and superior items! That's a whole new set for each class! Players can also build up their reputation with the Zandalar Tribe faction to get even more rewards! Yojamba Isle is now being used which is the very northwest part of STV to give out quests for the new instance. The instance lies in the eastern mountain range of STV and looks to be quite an experience with Blizzard touting this as having "highly scripted boss encounters unlike any you've experienced before!"

Arathi Basin - New Battleground!
The new battleground will be similar to Warsong Gultch in that players from level 21 - 60 can play it, but this time it will be a fifteen man battle for each side. This time though it is not capture the flag. You must gather two-thousand resources to win. There are different resources nodes you must capture which will give you resources (and bonus honor). There are new rewards to get from this battleground, along with new quests and such. Thing are getting quite exciting for PvP!

Remeber if you want to try these out you can transfer a character to the test realms and play it right now!
