Futurama’s new season is here!

Wait, wrong blog…

Seriously, though, there is good news out there for us wow players. I just can’t believe that they’re going to keep kicking out new content after putting the Lich King down. The only thing that I can figure is that they’re gearing up for Cataclysm and they need some transition material. It really makes me wonder just how far out the plot arc for Azeroth is planned out. Even if you aren’t into the lore, you really have to appreciate the fact that they can generate this much content on such a regular schedule.

Anyway, the new raid dungeon is call the Ruby Sanctum, and they’ve kept the details limited. I haven’t had a chance to get in there just yet, so I can’t even tell you just what kinds of good stuff that might be in there. Or the dangers that lurk, for that matter. Something tells me it can’t be good.

What it boils down to from the first look can be summed up in one word: dragons. There will be lots of interesting stuff going on, and it’s all about dragons.

The backstory plays out like this: The red dragonflight has been acting as a peacekeeping force in Azeroth for some time now, heading up a group called the Wyrmrest Accord. There have been periods of unrest within the ranks, namely when some twilight dragon eggs were discovered in teh Obsidian Sanctum. This led to some sneaky moves by the red dragonflight which resulted in some humans breaking in, killing Sartharion, and destroying the clutch. Now, the black dragonflight is the type to hold a grudge, and the fact that the Wyrmrest Temple is suddenly very much empty has a lot of people, particularly scaly ones, looking at them very closely. However, it seems unlikely that they have anything to do with it given their limited numbers. Besides, there would have been some sort of warning of an attack, or at least signs of resistance. But there’s no evidence of anything of the sort.

Anyway, sounds intriguing. And even if you don’t care about the lore, there’s bound to be plenty loot to pull from a dragon’s lair. Anyone with a basic knowledge of D&D can tell you that.

If you haven’t yet, I’d recommend that you take your level 80, buy wow accounts if you have to to get one, and check it out.
