WoW Patch 3.0.8 – First since WotLK

Blizzard has released their first  patch for the WoW expansion, The Wrath of the Lich King.  This new patch includes quite a few changes that I think are great.  Read down to the full post for all of the patch notes that Blizzard posted in the WoW Client.

The first one that is most notable is about Death Knights.  I foresee a LOT of Death Knights being created. Now you can instantly have a Level 55 toon on a new server. This is an advantage that I think is not desired. But for those who honestly want to roll a Death Knight, having to run another toon just to begin your 'real' character isn't desired either.

"Players may now create death knights on any realm once they reach level 55."

For those Tauren's who wanted to ride a Hawkstrider, or the Night Elves who wanted to ride a Mechanostrider, you now can!

"Racial restrictions on mounts have now been lifted. Night Elves on mechanostriders? Tauren on raptors? You're not seeing things."

I'm going to need someone to fill me in on this a little.  Someone who can actually use this.  But it sounds like it might be  kind of neat. Maybe.
