Today, Blizzard will be releasing
World of Warcraft patch 3.0.2, also known as "Echoes of Doom," the first major update since March's
"Fury of the Sunwell" patch. "Echoes" marks the introduction of the Achievements System, sure to push the game into an even
higher echelon of addiction. Expect also new locations, arenas, spells, talents, abilities, a barbershop, an in-game calendar and a new profession, Inscription.
Our MMO-obsessed (or "MMObsessed") friends at
WoW Insider have the
full patch notes and an
archive of extensive coverage. The "Echoes of Doom"
patch should be returning your calls around 2:00PM PT (or 5:00PM ET). In case you missed it (and then, of course, we must ask
how?), check out
Joystiq and
WoW Insider's coverage of this past weekend's BlizzCon.
