Today marks one of the largest patches for World of Warcraft in some time. That should be evident in the file’s size alone: a whopping 492MB.
This is mostly in preparation for that Burning Crusade expansion thing that’s due to come out in little over a month from now. Among the number of bug fixes, the fix also includes a revamped PvP system (including the removal of dishonorable kills), new talents (meaning a reset of talent points for all classes), and a new Looking For Group tool.
One of the more interesting additions is the introduction of Arena Skirmishes, which will allow players to form teams (similar to a guilds) of two, three, or five individuals to face a similarly numbered group in combat. Unfortunately the only way to play ranked matches is to be level 70, however you can enter the arena skirmishes at any time for practice on your way up to the level cap.

I started the download last night. I’m on dial-up. So I let it run all night long and it only got to a whopping 20%. So if I let it do that for about five days, I’ll get the patch finally installed. X_x Ironically the release day for the patch is also my best friend’s birthday and my parent’s anniversary – January 16th. Is this the first of many large patches or just a loner ginormous one?
Yeah, it seems that Blizzard isn’t really accommodating towards people using dial-up. I guess on the bright side this is the only huge patch that Blizzard has planned since (I think) many of the changes are to accommodate for things being added when the expansion comes along. The biggest patches before this haven’t surpassed more than 100MB I believe.
