WotLK soon?!

· Games

The latest Burning Crusade patch has, somewhat, been released. But I haven't been able to download anything yet. Keeps giving me "data for next patch not available".

But, when I launch the "WoW launcher", I do get this splash screen, which doesn't seem to be right just yet.

Seems like Blizzard messed up something, especially if the game and latest "pre-wotlk" patch hasn't been installed/released yet.

Red Alert

· Games, Windows

Which reminds me, and I guess I’m late again with posting, but you can get a free Red Alert (yes, the original) @ the EA website. Yes, they actually give out free stuff too (the thieves!). But don’t forget, it’s no more than a commercial stunt to get you to preorder Red Alert 3.

Go and get it here, or direct links here: Soviet disc (0.5Gb), Allied disc (0.5Gb).

Dear Tuinslak,

EA has claimed some or all audio and visual content in your video Red Alert 3 Trailer. This claim was made as part of the YouTube Content Identification program.

WotLK & the new patch

· Games

After tonights 240Mb patch, you can now “learn” all mounts in your bag, and once learned, they’ll dissapear from your bag, creating additional space.

You can summon your mounts (and non combat pets) from Character -> Pet -> Companions/Mounts tab.

Also the first part of the Hunter’s pet talent tree has been added.

And yes, a flying mount for the Death Knight!

Mana & energy regeneration has been improved, and it seems very nice!

Quest log seems bugged, and you cannot open it anymore using your mouse. Use <L> instead.

A lot more info has been added on MMO-Champion.

Here are the patch notes (little or nothing seems to have changed from previous patch notes):

First (Death Knight) impressions

· Games

I must say, I’m pleased to see this new class.

Besides some general login server problem, the beta has been running quite smooth for me (only some minor graphic bugs).

As for the Death Knight… Well done Blizzard !

So far (almost one level up!) it has been a refreshing new class. In some way it reminds me of a paladin-warrior mix (with the energy of a rogue?).

The starting area is really nicely done. Floating above Plaguelands in a Citadel, you start your first class quests. They’ll give you access to special abilities or spells (e.g. mount or 75% faster running speed in the citadel) and to your talents. Yes, you’ll get talent points as reward for completing quests.

WotLK - Part 1

While endlessly waiting to login, as it all seems quite... Overloaded.

I couldn't help noticing the wrong loading screen, or wrong for me at least, using the English game.
