World of Warcraft Pre-Lich King Patch Goes Live

2008-10-15 12:37:15 by Stephany in Gaming Today

In preparation for the release of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, Blizzard’s latest patch, “Echoes of Doom”, for World of Warcraft is now live and includes loads more than just a few items and tweaks to ready your game for the adventures ahead.

The release notes for this patch are pretty extensive, and include information on the new skills sets, raid buffs, professions, Stormwind Harbor, vanity pet and mount changes, the barbershops, arenas and new in-game event calender. This pre-Wrath of the Lich King patch is pretty large, and will get your characters up to date and ready to go kick some Alliance or Horde keister come November 13 when the expansion invades PCs around the globe.

Please note that these patches are only for North American users only and there are some special instructions for this patch that are slightly different than with previous versions.

First, you should install the 2.4.3 to 3.0.1 patch. If you are a classic World of Warcraft user, you should install the patch found here. Burning Crusade users should install the patch found here. You should follow these instructions:
