Het is een drukke week voor Blizzard, want niet alleen heeft de spelontwikkelaar Starcraft 2 aangekondigd, maar ook zojuist een nieuwe patch klaargezet voor World of Warcraft. Deze patch heeft versienummer 2.1.0 meegekregen en kan via een van de vele mirrorservers gedownload worden. Versie 2.1.0 staat ook wel bekend als de 'The Black Temple' en kent niet alleen een lange waslijst aan bugfixes en nieuwe features, maar ook nieuwe content in de vorm van - hoe kan het ook anders - The Black Temple. Het gigantische changelog kan gevonden worden op deze pagina, waarvan hieronder een zeer beknopt overzicht van is geplaatst:
We're happy to announce the release of "The Black Temple", the new content patch for World of Warcraft! Highlights of the Black Temple patch include:[break]
- The Black Temple:
The Temple of Karabor was the center of draenei worship until its priests were slaughtered by demonically corrupted orcs. In the massacre's aftermath, the warlocks of the Shadow Council seized the structure and gave it a new name: The Black Temple. When the Alliance invaded Draenor after the Second War, the orc shaman Ner'zhul hastily opened several dimensional portals to escape. The resulting magical backlash ripped the world apart. Drawn by these portals, the pit lord Magtheridon entered Draenor, soon to become known as Outland, and took the temple as his seat of power. His dominion over Outland remained unchallenged until the arrival of Illidan the Betrayer. The pit lord proved no match for the wielder of the Twin Blades of Azzinoth. Today Illidan occupies the temple, awaiting any and all who would challenge his rule.- Nether Drake:
The Netherwing faction quest line continues, making the much-anticipated Nether Drake available. The Nether Drake is a special 280% speed epic flying mount that is obtainable through solo and small-group play. The quest to obtain one will be difficult, but the reward will surely show your dedication to the Netherwing cause as you soar through the skies of Outland on your very own ethereal drake.- The Ruins of Lordaeron Arena:
For those engaging in the Steamwheedle Cartel’s gladiatorial combat, an arena nestled within the Ruins of Lordaeron has been added to the mix of venues. Players taking part in either rated battles or skirmishes may now find themselves battling for glory within the new arena.- Druid Epic Flight Form Introduced
- Three New Solo or Small-Group Level -70 Areas
