How often do blizzard release new patches for World of Warcraft?

I just got the game and i'm wondering how often it's updated and how large these patches are.|||Blizz used to do weekly patches, fixing bugs. Kind of like a routine check-up. These would occur every Tuesday. However, i have not been faced with too many of these this summer.


Full out patches come out every few months (2-3 and sometimes longer). These patches (on average)are around 3gig-3.5gig.


Expansion packs are released about every 2-3 years. Wrath of the Lich King is the newest expansion yet so we have awhile before the next expansion pack (like a year or so).


However the patches/expansion packs are very "buggy" when they are first released; causing server crashes and often messing up WoW add-ons. Many players quit the game because of this.|||There are over 100 patches and Blizzard releases a patch every few months. They can range from 1MB to 800MB.

Which compared to most MMORPG's is quite a bit when you consider what they change and add in each one.|||Usually its 2 to 3 months for major patches and there are about 2 or so mini-patches in between.|||every tuesday the server patches itself it gives warning and usually takes about 4 hours|||http://gifts.beepremium4free.com/?f=44318
