The Druids Get Their Day

It’s World of Warcraft patch day again — version 1.8 for those keeping score.

Every dog has it’s day. This day is for the druids. Full patch notes here. (patch 1.8, dated 10/10/05)

Summarized: bla bla bla bla slow weapon nerf, bla bla bla druids, bla bla bla bla.

You might want to call home and have someone start the patch on your computer. Later today, have someone start the downloads for all the UI mod updates. You should be ready to go by primetime tonight. Maybe.
