World of Warcraft: Revealing the Secrets of Ulduar

News Portal · **Posted:** 28 Feb 09, 12:29 pm

World of Warcraft fans, your time approaches rapidly! The upcoming Secrets of Ulduar patch (v3.1.0) looms menacingly, as the first content update since the launch of Wrath of the Lich King late last year. Earlier, we brought you all the news that's fit to print about the new dual-spec capabilities, but today we have details on Ulduar itself - complete with a video, to show off just what's in store.

It's worth a warning - if you've recently quit WoW, if you've been trying to resist, to not return to Azeroth, you shouldn't read this story. You shouldn't watch the video. You shouldn't learn more about Ulduar. It might just be your downfall.

That's pretty snazzy - my charger is going to look wierd as hell swimming though

* Players will now be able to queue for battlegrounds from any location. Leaving a battleground will return you to the location from which you entered.

Awesome

Actually I'm fairly sure the reason they've done that is to stop people using battlegrounds to teleport players around, usually to Dalaran. Given that it's easiest solution to the problem, it doesn't matter if WAR did something similar first

lol Especially because no MMO does anything truely original. It's all been done before. Just that some companies tend to do them better.

Never said it mattered. Was just pointing it out.

I'm sure WAR has 'stolen' (taken, used, blah) alot of stuff from WoW too.
That particular feature though just struck me as uniquely WAR (afaik).
