Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes?

The ancient troll temple complex of Zul'Gurub

In addition to being incredibly well-designed from a challenge standpoint, the new World of Warcraft dungeon, Zul’Gurub, marks the first time that the WoW level designers have taken away the walls as a visual element in a dungeon. They’re still there, effectively — huge cliffs with narrow slopes between areas keep content in discrete areas as usual — but it makes a huge difference visually. Not only is this place a ton of fun, it looks great, too.

Hats off, guys.

(If you look carefully at the picture, you can see a dead night elf rogue, which is always nice, too.)

  • Not included in the latest patch notes is mention of the holiday going on. Check outside Orgrimmar or Ironforge for a new quest. Given the feast nature of the holiday and its absence from the patch notes, I suspect we accidentally got the Thanksgiving event early, but we’ll see. Still, neat stuff:

    • Laying an offering at Uther's tomb

  • OK, I’m told the Harvest Festival, with its references to “fallen heroes” is about remembering 9/11. That makes sense and is a class move.
