The World of Warcraft Trading Card game has released its latest expansion, but it’s a little bit different than what’s come before. It’s called Arena Grand Melee, and it actually changes the gameplay of the TCG just a little bit, including some very different mechanics than those players have seen before. For instance, there’s a card called “For the Fallen” that will grant additional cards to players when they act out their melee strikes in real-life. Another card called “Steamwheedle Casino” has players playing a quick game of Blackjack with their WoW TCG cards to win an extra card. Arena Grand Melee sounds it puts a very strange twist on the current TCG game.
The WoW TCG site has been highlighting some of the new cards in the game — there’s a new ability called Preparation, which allows you to use a card twice in quick succession, and there are cards that boost your hand size and beef up your allies, as well as cards that offer up some other new heroes and abilities. It sounds like an interesting addition to the game, but on the other hand, this doesn’t seem like a pack for newbies — experienced players will get the best thrill from these twists. Pick up the eighty card sets in either of the Horde or Alliance versions at your local gaming store.

We noted an error earlier this evening which was causing the Lake Wintergrasp PvP zone to be reset prematurely. Since ending epic battles early is a bad thing, Blizzard has gone ahead and “shut off Wintergrasp” completely for the time being.
This change is affecting all realms.
There is no word when a fix will come through, but we’re hopeful it will happen sometime soon. Disabling an entire part of the game is a big thing, and an error that usually is correctly quickly.
Some speculation points to the change in daily (now weekly) quests that just went in, however there is no evidence to support this.
