The 1.8 update hit the WoW servers today, and as a result the main WoW site is currently offline. The game servers usually don’t do to well on patch day either, so I would expect them to be problematic.
Many changes are included in the 1.8 patch, including:
- Disturbance at the Great Trees (Green Dragons guarding the portals to the emerald dream)
- Changes To Silithus
- Hallow’s End Activities
- Weapon Changes
- Honor System Changes
- and much more.
As always, you can download the patch via Blizzard’s crappy patch system or directly from places like XFire, FilePlanet, Gamer’s Hell, and others.
