A great topic came up over at the World of Warcraft LiveJournal Community: today is the corresponding maintenance day that gives us a year after patch 3.0.2, after Wrath, and after a number of new changes that we now take for granted were introduced into the game.

Achievements and achievement points, the currency tab for badges and other things that were cluttering up our bags, Barber Shops and the ability to change your in-game appearance for gold, Dalaran vanishing and leaving behind a crater, Stormwind Harbor and new Zepplin flight paths, mounts and pets being “learnable” and not taking up bag space, the in-game calendar, all of them came with 3.0.2, and it was a pretty monumental patch.

So without changing this into a “How’s that 3.0.2 working out for you” kind of post, I think it’s safe to admit that WoW has come a long way even in the past year. What are some of your favorite changes we’ve seen in the past year?
