With the Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack now looming ever larger over World of Warcraft, have unleashed a sizable update to the ahead of this arrival.

New class spells and talents will be ushered in, two new Arenas, Barbershops, a Guild calendar and a new Inscription profession to boot. Inevitably, there are other tweaks afoot as well.

"We will be issuing a new content patch in the coming weeks," said a Blizzard representative.

"Much like the patch made available shortly before The Burning Crusade’s release, this content patch is designed to bridge current game content with that of the expansion and will contain some exciting changes."

More on this soon.
