Yahoo! News is reporting that the newly released v1.9.3 patch for World of Warcraft will allow the MMORPG to be played on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs. Apparently this change will actually provide better performance for those of you who own a new Macintosh with an Intel processor:

Released simultaneously for Mac and PC in late 2004, World of Warcraft has been continuously updated for both platforms since then.
