Ahn'kahet's Herald Volazj: Quite possibly the coolest boss ever
Nov 18th, 2008
Not only is Ahn'kahet visually stunning, but it gives you a glimpse into the story of Yogg-Saron and his relation to the Scourge and other forces. It's a little repetitive in some places (the first boss is a bit boring), but it also houses some of the best 5-man bosses we've seen yet. The final boss, Herald Volazj, is the embodiment of the technical advances Blizzard has made with the gameplay in Wrath of the Lich King. I almost feel bad mentioning him at all, because I've been running Ahn'kahet repeatedly with people who have never done it before. Seeing them wig out the first time they do the boss is awesome.

Level 80 and other major new highlights from the Beta [Updated]
Aug 21st, 2008
Jeff "Tigole" Kaplan posted several new changes that are appearing in the Wrath of the Lich King Beta tonight. The highlights include:- Level cap raised to 80.
- Less XP required for 70 to 80*
- Storm Peaks zone available, Icecrown unavailable.
- Follow dungeons available:
- Halls of Lightning
- Halls of Stone
- Caverns of Time: Stratholme
- The Occulus
- Utgarde Pinnacle
- Heroic Nexus
*We did some rough calculations. Daniel's Hunter was approximately 50% of the way through level 70. His hunter is now 60% of the way through level 70. Thus, the XP required to level was reduced by approximately 20%. These are just rough estimates, and no official word on the percentage has came out yet.
Update 11:49 p.m. EDT: Zarhym has said that patch notes are still being compiled. We'll have them up as soon as Blizzard releases them.
