Last Week on Blizzard Watch: Patch 6.2 hits live realms

Last week was an exciting one in World of Warcraft — patch 6.2 launched on Tuesday, giving players access to Tanaan Jungle, Hellfire Citadel, and the new shipyard. However, it was also exciting for us here at Blizzard Watch: we launched our site’s new design the same day. Beautiful coincidence, we assure you! We’re still stomping bugs, but we do hope you enjoy it. Now, let’s recap the news and features of the last week.
