Warcraft

The World of Warcraft PTR servers for 9.2.7 went down on Wednesday this week, and that's raised some eyebrows.

Welcome to another week of Shadowlands Season 4, which brings us our next Fated raid -- the Sanctum of Domination. I hope RNG left each and every one of you a high-ilevel item in your disappointment box Great Vault after the server reset!

If you raided during Wrath of the Lich King, you almost certainly remember Ulduar, which to this day is considered one of the best raids WoW ever had, so you may be surprised that the Wrath of the Lich King Classic team is considering making changes to Ulduar as well as the raids that followed it. WoW Classic game producer Aggrend got on the forums to explain exactly what they're debating doing to Ulduar, Trial of the Crusader, and Icecrown Citadel in Wrath Classic.

One of the most popular stories you'll hear from the earliest World of Warcraft players is how Alterac Valley battleground matches could last many hours, with players leaving for meals or classes and then returning to find the same match going.

With the arrival of the final Shadowlands patch, World of Warcraft has officially entered its pre-expansion lull, and while the Dragonflight alpha is chugging along, many players tend to farm old expansions during the downtime, looking to pick up collectibles and transmogs they may have missed the first time around.

There are various characters who have been important to Warcraft as a whole, and World of Warcraft in particular, that we haven't seen for a while.

The latest alpha build for World of Warcraft's forthcoming expansion Dragonflight included a new feature coded as "Soft Targeting." An alternative to the standard tab target or click-to-interact that WoW players have been using for years, the soft target feature will automatically target an NPC or enemy within medium range that your camera is centered on -- you don't have to get right in their face, thankfully, but casters and hunters will find it hard to start combat from maximum range with this feature.

I used to heavily modify my WoW when I was raiding.

I feel like it's fair to say that by the end of Shadowlands (if you’ve been playing this whole time), you are running around with a fair amount of currency.

Wrath of the Lich introduced World of Warcraft's first Hero class: the fearsome Death Knight.
