If you're like me and run old World of Warcraft instances on repeat in order to collect things like unique mounts, legendary weapons, and every single transmog piece ever, then the upcoming Greedy Emissary event has a bonus feature that you'll want to take advantage of.

As time marches on and we get closer to Player Housing being added to World of Warcraft, I find myself thinking of more features and decorations to put on my wish list.

Patch 11.1.7 of World of Warcraft is now live, which means it's time to put on your insulated safety gloves and dive into some Overcharged Delves.

Yesterday's big news came in the form of a bonafide void-tinged cornucopia, as we learned that the next major content patch of The War Within will be the Ghosts of K'aresh update in patch 11.2.

One of the most anticipated features of The War Within's upcoming patch 11.1.7 update is the addition of Lorewalking, which allows players to experience some of the most important and influential story arcs in the history of Azeroth in-game.

It's another edition of Distractions from the Escalating Dumpster Fire That Is Our Time -- this time featuring a plethora of pretty piggies!

Now that we've had roughly half of an expansion to get used to the idea of our characters all working as a cohesive unit, it's time for a bit of a retrospective on how our approaches to selecting which World of Warcraft character to play have changed.

When The War Within advances to patch 11.1.7 next week, the new Overcharged mechanic will be added to our Delving experiences which will reward us with a powerful belt.

We've seen a staggered release of content throughout The War Within patch 11.1.5, the last bit of which is now live this week with the Dastardly Duos event.

For this week's installment of cute animals that distract you from Every Bad Thing Happening in the World Right Now, we're going diving into the deep blue places of planet Earth in search of some adorable swimming creatures.
