Ulduar 3.1 patch dropped...

and I haven't looked up from the computer since. Bad, I know, but sometimes its necessary. The patch dropped last Tuesday and the instance server stability was non-existent. So, I wasn't able to get in to the new instance until Thursday when they did restarts. The patch included a new area in Icecrown called the Argent Tournament. Lots of new quests and additional World Event Achievements. One for the Argent Tournament and one for the Darkmoon Faire, although the Darkmoon Faire is currently empty, there's still tons to do for the Argent Tournament. I completed all the quests Tuesday night, so I was set up to do daily quests. Blizzard has set up a schedule so you can't blast through the Argent Tournament stuff. Its all based on doing daily quests. The first one took 3 days to complete to get you to the next level. The second step (I'll finish up today) is taking 5 days to complete. Tonight I'll find out what the next step is. In the meantime I'm racking up the Silver Covenant and Gnomereganreputation in completing the dailies. In theory I should eventually be able to get rep for all the main cities and factions represented at the Argent Tournament.

A new fishing daily quest was added in Dalaran which I'm enjoying. It gives some interesting rewards and an achievement for completing all four daily fishing quests. Also, they've added a mount that can be fished up very rarely, a turtle. I want one :P Blizzard is allowing fishing at any level anywhere in the world, what you get depends on your level. They've also allowed fishing in Wintergrasp. Yay! I can get most of the fish I need for fish feast all in one spot.

(There were many other changes made, but the above mentioned ones were the most significant to me.)
