    While we weren't going to announce this until we had something more definitive to announce, a couple other sites are running that patch 3.3 is due to be out next week. From what our multiple sources close to the situation have told us, the following is true: Patch 3.3 is done, more or less. There are a couple server issues to be worked out. If the server issues are worked out, the patch will go live on December 8th. We're not ready to say with 100% certainty that patch 3.3 will arrive next Tuesday for the US, Wednesday for the EU. If these issues are not resolved, then there won't be a patch for at least another week. Don't say we didn't warn you. We should have more solid confirmation towards the end of this week (or sometime next Monday afternoon) and will bring it to you when we get it. All the information about patch 3.3 you need is contained in our guide, so head over there and read up in case you don't know what this monstrous patch will be about. Patch 3.3 is the last major patch of Wrath of the Lich King. With the new Icecrown Citadel 5-man dungeons and 10/25-man raid arriving soon, patch 3.3 will deal the final blow to Arthas.

  • Patch 3.3 not released tomorrow, Zarhym hates cranberries and Azeroth

    Simple true statement of the day: Patch 3.3 will not be released Tuesday November 24th, 2009. Zarhym hopped on the fourms earlier this evening and said that the patch will not be dropping tomorrow, and that they don't consider dropping a patch before a long holiday weekend something they want to do. We agree. Zarhym goes on to say that he doesn't prefer his day-after-thanksgiving turkey with cranberry sauce on it. That, ladies and gentleman, is a travesty. A total slap in the face to all us cranberry loving mortals out there. Is Zarhym really against cranberries because one day he ate too many cranberries, abused them, and then went on a cranberry induced rampage killing off entire swaths of AV players with his Martin Fury, only to laugh at and teabag everyone who tried to stop him? I'm not saying he did, I'm just asking a question. Zarhym hasn't given an answer, and without one, well... well, what can consider to be the truth then? I think you know the truth my beautiful Azeroth. I think you do. /tear. Update 7:50 p.m. EDT: We've placed a red phone in the WoW.com HQ. It's sitting right here. We've given the number to your chief of staff, Zarhym. You can call it and refute your Martin Fury incident anytime you want. Azeroth is waiting. Update 9:45 p.m. EDT: WoW.com would like to apologize for its use of cranberry pictures from other, more popular, cranberry related events. We agree with Zarhym when he says that this is the time to put aside differences and put gravy on our turkey sandwiches, of course as long as the turkeys come from Azeroth. No Draenor turkeys for us. Patch 3.3 is the last major patch of Wrath of the Lich King. With the new Icecrown Citadel 5-man dungeons and 10/25-man raid arriving soon, patch 3.3 will deal the final blow to Arthas.
