The website of MMORPG.com has released a story about Patch 3.0, the lead-in update for the newest expansion Wrath of the Lich King of World of Warcraft, wrote by Alex Howells.

The details are as below:

With Wrath of the Lich King (also known as WotLK) seemingly a few months away from release, it would have surprised many World of Warcraft players to hear that another major content patch is to be released prior to the expansion. The details of patch 3.0 were recently outlined; its aim being to ensure a seamless transition between the current game and the content of WotLK (well, that\'s the aim). Such was the case shortly before the release of The Burning Crusade, but it is interesting to note that patch 3.0 does in fact offer a couple of the features advertised as part of Wrath of the Lich King.

The most notable of these is the introduction of Inscription. Inscription, as some of you may already be aware, is a profession that appeared to be an integral part of WotLK. It was flashed up alongside the main aspects of the expansion, which include the raising of the level cap to 80, the introduction of the continent of Northrend and the debut of siege warfare in player-versus-player combat. Inscription is designed to \'give players even more specialization options beyond the talent trees\', according to Lead Game Designer Jeff Kaplan. Players who take up the profession will be able to increase the power of skills and spells. This could come in several forms, for example the ability to add components to already-existing spells. This alone would open up a whole world of new possibilities, with Inscribers able to do dazzling things ranging from adding knockback to Mind Blast to adding a damage-over-time component to Frostbolt. These finer details are predominantly speculation at this stage, but it has already been confirmed that any player will be able to use items created by an Inscriber. Mixed messages have been relayed regarding the form that Inscription-created items will take, though it is rumored that the form will be that of scrolls, which an Inscriber could then place on the Auction House if they so wish. Something that has definitely been confirmed is the sub-skill that will accompany Inscription: Milling. Milling will act in the same way that Prospecting does for Jewelcrafting, and is designed to allow the Inscriber to break herbs into reagents, which can then be used for Inscription recipes.
