E3: World of Warcraft Content Updates

Three new updates coming down the pipe for WoW:

Zul’Aman Screenshot
  • The 10 man Zul’Aman Outdoor Instance (Think Zul’Gurub 2.0 with same boss setup, and Karazhan basically a requirement to be able to complete it…)
  • Integrated Voice Chat (For the 15% of WoW players that refused to use Ventrilo or Teamspeak servers and the joys of inane guild voice chat.)
  • Guild Bank (No more naked bank alts jumping around, say it ain’t so!)

Voice chat will be added to the game free of charge, will mute the game slightly whenever someone talks (so that you won’t need to talk over any onscreen battles), and will use onscreen icons to indicate who’s saying what, so that you’ll be able to quickly determine which team member in your party is asking for help

Guild banks, on the other hand, will let guild officers create vaults to store the guild’s entire possessions, as well as set permissions to limit access to certain items

When will this all be available? In typical Blizzard fashion “When it’s ready.”, Which translates for most players into “When I’ve already left for Pirates of the Burning Sea, Warhammer, or Conan”… -DR
