Blizzard Entertainment has released version 2.4 of World of Warcraft, the largest patch thus far released for the popular MMO. Titled Fury of the Sunwell, the hefty 260 MB download includes the new Sunwell Plateau area as well as a host of adjustments, additions, and bug fixes.

Here's some of the new content in the patch:

Fury of the Sunwell
The glorious fount of arcane energy known as the Sunwell empowered the high elves for millennia, until the death knight Arthas laid siege to the elven kingdom and corrupted its sacred energies. Seeing no other alternative, a band of survivors led by Prince Kael’thas destroyed the ancient fount. Over time the surviving elves fell pray to a crippling magical withdrawal.
Now, promising salvation for his people, Kael’thas has returned. Soon the Sunwell will shine once again, but whether the sacred fount will usher in deliverance or destruction remains to be seen.

Global Arena Tournament
Players will be able to create level-70 characters with epic equipment and compete on special tournament realms in a new global arena tournament. For more information, details and entry requirements, please visit the official tournament pages.

User Interface
The Interface Options screen has been completely redesigned. AddOns that interact with the Interface Options screen will need to be updated.
Players will now be able to inspect other players via their chat link.
Players may now inspect players of the opposing faction while they are not flagged for PvP.
