Blizzard continues to deliver great improvments to the World of Warcraft. The much anticipated WotLK Patch 3.0.8 is finaly live on the servers. It really brings a great deal of change and below we list of some the signigicant changes made.
• Roll a DK Anywhere - With the release of 3.0.8 players will be able to roll Death Knights on any realm as long as they have a level 55 somewhere. This is a welcome change for many players on higher population realms that opens the option to go to other realms and start their DK’s. Many of the old restrictions still apply but we are happy to see this one be a thing of the past.
• New Graveyards - More than 60 new graveyards have been added to Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. This will sure make it less of a haul to get back to your corpse should you die in areas affected by this.
• Death Knight Boost - Death knights will notice a boost in the effects of their Blood Aura and Blood Presence abilities as they are returning them to their beta state. This will double the healing effects of these spells.
• Reputation Rewards - A change has been implemented so that killing mobs required for gaining reputation with a particular faction will yield the same amount of rep. regardless of your character’s level. I have to say I think this change is pretty sweet and I am excited about it for the alt I just started…I may even return to Outland to finish up some rep. grinds on my main.
• Swimming Druids - A Druid’s aquatic form is now available from the Druid Trainer at level 16. This comes as quite a relief to anyone running up another druid who has had to run the quest in the past. I did it once and it was a royal pain! The line of quests will still be available, but they are no longer a prerequisite to obtaining aquatic form.
• More Talented Shaman - With this patch Shaman will see the arrival of a new talent called “Shamanism”. This is available on the elemental tree and causes your lightning bolt and lava burst spells to gain additional bonus damage effects.
• Feral Druid Weapons - All weapons will now have the potential to grant feral attack power based on their dps which means many new weapons will now be options for the feral druid. All druids will be able to see the feral attack power an item will grant them, but other player classes will not see this information. Since polearms can now also be trained by druids, this will open many doors for this class and broaden their weapon capabilities considerably.
• New Paladin Ability - Paladins are getting some love here too. With 3.0.8 they now have an ability called “Hand of Reckoning” which will be available from their class trainer at level 16 and will enable them to taunt an enemy from up to 30 yards and also cause holy damage to the targeted foe.
• “Yummy” New Food and Drink - A new recipe for “Worg Tartare” is now available for purchase with Dalaran Cooking Awards. This food will give it’s consumer a hit rating and stamina bonus. If you’re looking for something to wash it down with, try the new recipe called “Kungaloosh” which is available from the Washed up Mage in the sewers of Dalaran once a cook has completed the quest “The Taste Test” in Scholozar Basin this is a mana restoration drink that will also get you tipsy.
• Hunter Nerfs - Sadly, today is the day Hunters have been dreading. With this patch two of the main attacks most hunters use are getting seriously nerfed. Steady shot will go from rewarding 20% attack power as damage to rewarding only 10%. Volley is also taking a hit in the form of a 30% reduction in damage across the board for all levels of the ability.
• Cool Spells Now Shareable - Mages will now be able to cast Slowfall on other players and Priests will be able to share Levitate with others.
• Wild Growth - This is a favorite spell of any good Druid healer. With this patch they decided to plague this ability with a 6 second cooldown. This will likely impact raid healing for Druids, it will be interesting to see how much of an impact it has.
• Enchanting - There is now a new enchanting recipe available for purchase from Vanessa Sellers in Dalaran. The recipe is for a plus to stamina on bracers.
These are just some of the great news in the patch. To see the complete patch note, visit Blizzards official site.

WotLK Deals Preorder while you can!
Thousands of People that have stopped playing and many who have never played before are picking up the interest in this popular launch.
Retail stores, of course, want their piece of the cake and are making a lot of effort to attract customers.
Some examples of good deals for buying World of Warcraft: Wrath of The Lich Kings online are:
BestBuy - Wrath of the Lich King -$39.99
Free shipping
Notes: According to Cheapastgamer.com you will be able to buy the official Wotlk strategy guide at 25% off with the purchase of Wotlk expansion at buybest.com. However, we didn't find that particular offer. They also claim that it's not stated that it's necessary to buy the game in order to get the guide discount.
BestBuy.com also have a Pre-Order Price Guarantee:
"Pre-order any title at BestBuy.com, and if the Best Buy price in store has dropped by the release date, you'll automatically be charged the lower price."
Amazon - Wrath of The Lich King - $39.99
Free Shipping
Notes: At Amazon you can get the expansion WotLK + the paperback WotLK Official Strategy Guide for only $56.48, a %38 off ($8.50). They also offer the following promotion:
"Pre-order Price Guarantee! Order now and if the Amazon.com price decreases between your order time and the end of the day of the release date, you'll receive the lowest price.
Save $10 when you spend $50 or more when you pay with Bill Me Later®. Offer valid Oct 13, 2008 - Dec 30, 2008. Limited to items sold by Amazon.com. Subject to credit approval. One per customer. Enter code BMLSAVES at checkout"
Additionally, when purchasing the expansion pack at Amazon, they are offering release-day delivery. It means that even if you place your order online, you will still get the item at the day of release, just some hours after the crowd standing in long lines outside the stores. Just be sure to read the details first.
So it is actually a good thing to buy the expansion online especially when it is released at midnight (that is if you're not eager to be one of the first people to login). You can skip having to camp outdoor waiting for the release at the retail stores and you can get some good hours rest instead while waiting for the item to arrive by mid morning. Then take a free day from work or school to just play hardcore untill late hours. :)
You will miss the first hours initial lagg when everyone logs in at once and instead ready to explore the new surroundings of WotlK with a rested mind and start leveling like mad.
If you still haven't pre-ordered Wrath of the Lich King yet, I would recommend doing it Right Away, to be 100% sure you have it delivered to your door by launch day.
Be sure to also Check out the WotLK secrets guide and gain some advantage over your friends when the expansion arrives.
Hope everyone will enjoy the expansion and if we find any additional deals coming up within the few day, we'll let you know.
