It is patch day and World of Warcraft's latest major content patch has gone live! Patch 3.2.0, Call of the Crusade has added two new encounters, new Argent Tournament dailies, vanity pets, mounts, and much more!
The biggest part of the patch is the addition of the Crusaders' Coliseum which houses the new dungeon and raid encounters. In the Coliseum you will find the Trial of the Champion 5 player dungeon available in normal and heroic mode, Trial of the Crusader which hosts a 10-25 player raid in normal mode, and Trial of the Grand Crusader which is the 10-25 player heroic raid. The Crusaders' Coliseum's encounters are very similar to that of the Ring of Blood questline. With the addition of these new encounters there will be new achievements for each!
For a complete overview of Patch 3.2.0 check out MMO Champions patch notes as well as World of Warcraft's patch page.
Each summer, the arrival of the Midsummer Fire Festival signals a time of merriment and a chance to revel in the hottest season of the year by lighting celebratory bonfires across the land and sharing in what the elemental spirits have to offer. This year (beginning Sunday, June 21st and continuing until July 5), the festival features achievements.
Learn more about the Midsummer Fire Festival content on Blizzard's recently updated page, which also includes a screenshot gallery.
The under development page over at WorldofWarcraft.com is now listing details for Patch 3.2. It's looking pretty interesting, all told. More Argent Tournament!
Here's a screenshot of the changes from the Under Development page.
Here's a detail: there will be a new battleground called the Isle of Conquest, a large scale siege between the Horde and the Alliance.
But wait, there's more! The Argent Tournament expands, with new dailies and rewards, which is a welcome addition for those of us gearing up alts I'm sure. And we now know that when Patch 3.2 launches we'll see a new Arena season.
"In order to prepare for a siege on Icecrown Citadel, players will be called by the Argent Crusade to test their mettle in the Coliseum. 5-player, 10-player, and 25-player challenges await inside."
And here are a few more tidbits of information from Community Manager Zarhym, responding to posts on the official forums. In bold are the players' questions.
The Argent Coliseum: Does this mean a raid and a instance will be in there?
Yes, there will be a 5-player version, then a 10/25-player version. The bosses will be different for the two versions. Think Ring of Blood or Amphitheater of Anguish, but more epic.
The new Battleground (Isle of Conquest): So, it's WG combined with AB?
If anything, Wintergrasp combined with Alterac Valley with a few more twists.
Do you really think Ulduar achievements will last a year? Instances become stale after 6 months even with achievements. Yea 3.2 won't be till later this year and by then Ulduar will have been played to death and people will want something fun and new to do and not some small joke instance since we won't see Icecrown till April/May next year probably.
Would it help if I told you that your presumed timelines are way too inflated? :)

All orphans wish they had someone to show them the wonders of the world. Throughout the year, they spend their time wandering around Stormwind, dreaming of the day they'll be old enough (and big enough) to venture out into the world alone and see the sights their parents would have shown them.
During Children's Week, though, brave adventurers for the Alliance can make these kids' dreams come true! To help these kids see the world, all you have to do is visit the orphanage. Talk to Orphan Matron Nightingale in Stormwind. After that, you and your young friend can adventure together across Azeroth!
