Children's Week has begun in Azeroth, and this year has a few new rewards for players. Sadly, there are no new pets on the table, but there's plenty to be had for your existing pets, and a new toy for your toybox as well.

I don’t know exactly know what my elekk plushie did, but he’s currently paying the savage consequences.

The tauren race is one of the more interesting prospects for roleplay, even if they might not seem like it at first glance. In the last ten years or so of Azeroth's history, the tauren have arguably seen more turmoil than any other race on Azeroth. They haven't just witnessed wars and conflict, they've uprooted their entire way of life from the ground up and watched it shift and buckle around them -- for both good and bad.

This poor chicken in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. This poor, sad, bewildered little chicken got to play his guitar as the world burned behind him. He’s seen some things. And he’s never leaving that little table again. Ever.

A new Warlords of Draenor short story was released earlier this evening, and its a good one. Apocrypha was written by Matt Burns, whose other works include Bleeding Sun and The Jade Hunters from the Destination: Pandaria faction series. This tale however, involves the arakkoa, which automatically puts it near the top of the list for favorite short stories as far as I'm concerned.

One could argue that by the end of the events that play out in 6.0 and 6.1, the Iron Horde has been effectively shut down, backs against the wall, leaving them with no other apparent alternative than to turn to tactics they weren't originally going to use. But the one thing we haven't done is really look at the situation and ask ourselves -- why the Iron Horde to begin with?

The release date for the Warcraft movie has been rescheduled, according to a tweet from Legendary Pictures.

Two short sets of hotfixes were released yesterday and this afternoon, including a couple of bug fixes and one adjustment to the Blackrock Foundry raid. Players attempting to go back and defeat the Siege of Orgrimmar raid should be delighted to note that the anti-air turrets on the Galakras encounter are once more working correctly.

Raid testing for Hellfire Citadel continues this week with six new encounters available for testing over the next three days. Tomorrow, players will be able to test the Kilrogg Deadeye and Gorefiend encounters, Thursday will open Kormrok and Shadow-Lord Iskar, and Friday's encounters will be Tyrant Velhari and Fel Lord Zakuun.
