World of Warcraft patched again
Update v1.6.0 adds new raid dungeon, Darkmoon Faire world event, and more.
Blizzard yesterday released the universal v1.6.0 patch for its popular World of Warcraft massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Major additions since v1.5.1 include the new max-level, 40-player raid dungeon Blackwing Lair, the traveling exotic gathering known as the Darkmoon Faire, and more. Many character classes were also tweaked, with warriors and warlocks undergoing such significant changes that Blizzard is refunding talent points to all those players and is subsequently letting them reallocate points as they see best, in light of the new rules. You can see the complete list of changes and download the v1.6.0 patch at GameSpot DLX.
