Fury of the Sunwell, Update 2.4 Set to Unleash Soon

Blizzard posted details about their upcoming update, 2.4, set to release in the coming weeks. They also included a really bitchin' trailer that outlines the history of the blood elves and their version of crack, the Sunwell. Watch for the waif belfs, but stay for the mantastic Kael'thas (He narrates and seems surprisingly displeased with his good pal Illidan). I highly recommend skipping the streaming version for the downloaded HD version.

I think this marks the first update Blizzard has done that introduces a new zone that isn't completely devoted to raiding. That's good stuff. I'm most excited that tier level gear will now drop in three sets, up from the current two. I think there was a time when such bosses only dropped one. Such injustice.

Emanee is still running around with two pieces of tier 4 and it's starting to cramp her style, so this is welcome news. Now instead of seeing just two sets of pally, rogue, shaman tier gear drop, I get to witness three.

Oh the humanity.
