It will include Ulduar raid instance (10 and 25 Man) </li><li>Patch 3.2 will add a new and still unknown raid instance to the game. </li><li>Patch 3.3 will introduce Icecrown Citadel and should also resolve the storyline of Ashbringer.</li></ul><br /><b>Upcoming changes</b><br /><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>In Patch 3.1, ground mounts will no longer dismount in water but will swim instead. </li><li>10-Man and 25-Man sets will be part of the same set, you can complete your set bonuses with any part of each set. (Updated set stats available in the Raids & Dungeons Panel post)</li></ul><br /><b>Upcoming features</b><br /><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>The Dual-Talent spec feature will let you switch between your two specs without having to go back to town. You can perfectly do it between fights in a raid, however it won&#39;t be possible to switch specs in the middle of an Arena Match. Your keybinds and glyphs will be saved and automatically switched as you change your spec. An itemrack-like mod might also be added to the game to make switching even easier.</li><li>New dances will be added in a content patch, one of the objective with the dance studio isn&#39;t to just add new dances but also let players combine moves to create their own dance.</li><li>Guild ratings might be added in the future, guilds could receive a rating based on their PvE and PvP accomplishments. Achievements based on guild accomplishments could be added to the game as well. </li></ul><br /><b>PvP</b><br /><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>They also want players to be able to level up in battlegrounds through XP rewards in addition of honor. Daily quests will also be added.</li><li>They want to bring back competition into Battlegrounds, they&#39;re working on a new rating system to help with that and are also working on a way to let guilds compete in battlegrounds.</li><li>In the future, players will be able to queue in Arenas and Battlegrounds from anywhere in the world.</li><li>Strand of the Ancients is getting changed from 10vs10 to 15vs15. The amount of Vehicles is also being doubled.</li></ul><br /><b>Misc.</b><br /><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>It seems that Ozzy Osbourne will be doing the next WoW what do you play commercial.</li><li>There isn&#39;t any plan for a Blizzcon on the USA East Coast for the moment</li></ul><br /><b>World of Warcraft Movie</b><br /><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>WoW Movie is still something they&#39;re working on, and they DO have a draft of the script for the movie.</li></ul><br /><b>Secret Project</b><br /><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>Blizzard&#39;s "secret project" is confirmed to be a new MMO with a brand new universe, but we won&#39;t hear anything about it before a while.</li></ul><br /><b>Detailed Panels</b><br /><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li><a href="http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=20436.0" target="_blank"><b>Blizzcon - Day 1</b></a> - Class Panel, Interface Panel, Opening Ceremony.</li><li><a href="http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=20548.0" target="_blank"><b>Blizzcon - Day 2</b></a> - PvP Panel, Raids & Dungeons Panel, Developers Q&A, Class Panel #2.</li></ul><br /><br /><br /><font size="3" style="line-height: 1.3em;"><b>Blizzcon - Closing Ceremony</b></font><br />Just like any Blizzard event, the Blizzcon ended with a concert of <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/L80ETC" target="_blank"><b>L80ETC</b></a> !
