Here's hoping your computer doesn't need fixing and your office voicemail stays online, because if you need anything from the IT department at your place of business you're straight out of luck. Blame it all on World of Warcraft patch 2.4, which hit the game's servers today, adding two new "Sunwell" instances, a giant arena tourney and other features you can read about right here.

The patch even offers something for the non-World of Warcraft player: For the next few days, we get to learn what Left Behind would be like if Jesus only came back for nerds.

Girlfriends just don't understand.

Fortunately, my wife plays just as much online stuff as me so I don't have that problem.

Wow that's something isn't it? I'm asking you if it is something because I don't play WoW. I do dable in Guild Wars from time-to-time though.

Talk about a gross generalization. I work in an IT department of 37 people and only one of them plays WoW, and even he was horribly late to the game. WoW is a not a game for nerds, or even a game for gamers. I equate it to the Wii of the PC, a game for the masses, simple enough that anyone can play and deep enough to keep you playing for years.

Do people even play this game anymore?

Blazur: Mar 25th 2008; 1:56PM

Yes, 10 million people to be more specific.

h8rain: Mar 25th 2008; 2:09PM

last I looked its about 10 million active subscribers.

The last line was great, but you should have left that particular arrow in the quiver for when the next xpan comes out.

Might want to add that this patch also made the game unplayable for 75% of the people that play the game.

I remember when Stargate mentioned WoW. It wasn't very well done as a distraction. But I think that was the point.
