World of Raids Forums: Blizzard Shop Talk - Under Development - World of Raids

#0 - May 22, 09

In this edition of Shop Talk, we’d like to offer a peak at the new information found on our Under Development page for those who may not have seen it yet. The upcoming major content patch, Call of the Crusade, will bring a host of new features for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.

• The Argent Tournament Expands: With the help of Azeroth’s heroes, the Argent Crusade will finish the Argent Coliseum just in time to call for all brave citizens to prepare for battle with the Lich King. New dailies, rewards, and more will be available at the Argent Tournament grounds to lure adventurers into the coliseum.
  
  
• Crusaders’ Coliseum: In order to prepare for a siege on Icecrown Citadel, players will be called by the Argent Crusade to test their mettle in the coliseum. 5-player, 10-player, and 25-player challenges await inside.
  
  
• New Battleground: Isle of Conquest, a new large-scale siege Battleground, will be open. The Horde and Alliance will battle head-to-head for control of strategic resources to lay siege to the keeps of their opponents.
  
  
• New Arena Season: Season 7 will officially start, paving the way for all-new items and challenges.
  
  
• Much more to come. Stay tuned!

Does this mean a raid and a instance will be in there?

Yes, there will be a 5-player version, then a 10/25-player version. The bosses will be different for the two versions. Think Ring of Blood or Amphitheater of Anguish, but more epic.

So, it's Wg combined with AB?

If anything, Wintergrasp combined with Alterac Valley with a few more twists.

More to come later!

Do you really think Ulduar achievements will last a year? Instances become stale after 6 months even with achievements. Yea 3.2 won't be till later this year and by then Ulduar will have been played to death and people will want something fun and new to do and not some small joke instance since we won't see Icecrown till April/May next year probably.

Achievements are nice but the same content is the same content regardless.

Would it help if I told you your presumed time lines are way too inflated? :)
