GameSpot has released yet another two-page preview for World of Warcraft, in addition to >a href=”http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/worldofwarcraft/media.html”>a video interview with one of the game’s developers. A snippet from the preview:

In addition, Blizzard plans to systematically unveil new weapons and armor, including powerful armor “sets” that provide composite bonuses as you acquire and equip more and more parts. Equipping a full set of armor will grant your character exceptionally powerful bonuses–as it happens, the last phase of beta introduced at least one new set of warrior armor that testers weren’t able to complete. They’ll have plenty of opportunity to chase down magical armor and weapons (and hopefully not have to repair them too often) when the game launches this week.
