Blizzard Announces New Dungeon, Adorable Dungeon Helper For World Of Warcraft

If there's one thing gamers have said about World of Warcraft for years now, it's that the game is too hardcore for its own good and not new-user-friendly at all. Thankfully, Blizzard is finally taking some steps to fix all of that with Crabby, the new Dungeon Helper.

Announced on the World of Warcraft website, Crabby will accompany hesitant adventurers into dungeons, providing useful information along the way such as strategies for defeating bosses. If you choose to make use of Crabby, he will always be visible in the lower right corner of the screen, offering tips and advice as you progress through each dungeon.

Even hardcore WoW players will need the help, too, as Blizzard has also announced a deadly new dungeon: the Tomb of Immortal Darkness. This five-player dungeon will introduce Blizzard's impressive Deep Dark technology, clouding the vision of any heroes brave enough to enter its murky halls. If you're able to navigate the darkness and make it to the end (perhaps thanks to the ever-helpful words of Crabby), you'll have to face the dread, dark god Omgsogoth.

The Tomb of Immortal Darkness will be added to World of Warcraft in patch 4.1.11, and Crabby should be begging you to use his advice constantly beginning today. Enjoy the improved experience!

  • I enjoy that the Dark God is called OMG so goth.

  • So when did they fire all the actual writers? This is almost an insult to my intelligence with these horrible April Fools jokes. "Next its gonna be hilarious because we are going to have a wall that just stands there and tells jokes! Har har har har." Blizzard is almost trolling.
  • Nice way to troll the players Blizzard.

  • omgsogoth

  • aww... crabby is so cute, but I'm sure he'd get annoying after like 10 minutes.
  • Players get Crabby...players get crabby.
  • Do they offer the option of a paper clip or a dog instead of a crab?

  • Should have tagged this one "April Tools".

    The get help button is probably a macro for Alt F4.

    Seriously though. Don't play this crack if you have real life responsibilities. Saw this yesterday:

  • It totally should have been the paperclip dude.

  • It's funny because in January when people said Cataclysm dungeons were too hard, team member Ghostcrawler came out to the players and essentially told them to STFU and Lrn2Play.

  • lol

  • Holy *** ***, I'm never playi- Oh look at the date...

  • crabby gonna be like navi?

  • 4-1-11? OMG So Goth? Crabby? Pretty detailed joke.

  • Reminds me of that F**king paper clip.

  • I'm not sure if i'm the only one who notices this but "crabby" is based on the paperclip from the old versions of microsoft word

  • I believe that's Goshthazgoth's brother.
