Warcraft

To this day, when I hear the original theme that plays behind the World of Warcraft login screen -- you know the one -- I am immediately drawn back to December of 2004, when I would log on to my Human Warrior Marketh (later deleted and rerolled as my Human Warrior Scythos because I didn't like the name Marketh anymore) and run around the Wetlands trying to get to the boat to Kalimdor.

Fiction has tropes, and a lot of games are an avenue of storytelling -- World of Warcraft has told a lot of stories over the years.

After three expansions, World of Warcraft is finally getting a new class again, the Dracthyr Evoker — but what niche does that class fill, if any, that wasn't already covered by the existing 12 classes?

In recent interviews regarding the next expansion to World of Warcraft, Dragonflight, Ion Hazzikostas confirmed that there would be no new version of the Mission Table.

In a recent interview, Ion Hazzikostas -- World of Warcraft's Game Director -- talked about how to solve the eventual leveling squish problem caused by adding levels with every expansion.

The Season of Mastery concept is a game changer for WoW Classic -- it basically allows the game to constantly reinvent itself and keep what will otherwise become a very limited set of content (the original WoW and two expansions) into something evergreen.

Does World of Warcraft need to bring back Master Looter?

I was thinking about Lord of the Clans the other day.

Like WoW Classic, Burning Crusade Classic starts at a late patch (2.4.3) but game content will roll out over the course of five phases, as well as a prepatch interval I'm terming "phase zero." It mimics the original game release to an extent, but there will be some items whose availability will be unlocked as well over the course of the phases, which we've noted below.

It has been almost 8 years since Warlords of Draenor came out, and I finally got the Sunhide Gronnling mount from Poundfist on Saturday night.
