An early christmas present.

Well, this week I've been getting to grips with the new patch features. The new LFG system is great, as it now pairs groups cross-server, the longest wait time i've experienced so far has been about 5 seconds ^^. Features such as the opportunity to immediatley search for another group member (in similarly quick time) should one leave, is an instant hit for me. Another important, though frequently overlooked addition is the option of 'disenchant' for the need + greed system. The need + greed system has proved popular throughout most MMO's of today, and this slight tweak will no doubt be snapped up by others. The ability to get the core crafting materials from the loot without organising who gets it, and then ensuring the loot is distributed fairly removes the causes of many common arguments in pre-patch WoW.

The new instances look similarly polished, and though I've only experienced one so far, the Forge of Souls, but I was not disappointed. Crisp graphics, with similarly exciting boss battles, and a surprising cameo appearence from the Cadburys fairtrade head.


On a footnote, is it just me, or are the dresses for this year's Goblin girls a little too revealing? Bad choice of colours Blizzard.
