Warcraft

Update: Patch 8.2 now has an official release date!

Even if you're avoiding spoilers, you still probably know the basic outlines of what's coming in patch 8.2 -- Queen Azshara's Naga are attacking the world and we're going to Nazjatar, there's a new kingdom of steampunk Gnomes called Mechagon and we're going there too, and, oh yeah, all that stuff that happened in 8.1.5 has repercussions in the War Campaign.

I wasn't at all a fan of the idea of classic servers the first, let's say fifty five thousand and seventeen times I heard it.

It's no secret that several folks around here at Blizzard Watch are really curious what's up with Wrathion -- the last time we saw him in person was during the Deaths of Chromie scenario back in Legion, and before that he made an appearance on the Alpha for that expansion before being replaced with Ebyssian.

Well, some of the story of Battle for Azeroth, anyway.

A good villain can make all the difference.

It's been a defining characteristic of the game since it launched in 2004, and it's the driving conflict that provides the narrative engine for Battle for Azeroth, the game's latest expansion.

The outside world isn't the only thing that's changed since WoW was launched: dungeons like fan-favorite Scholomance have been overhauled as well.

Back in classic WoW, there was a bug called "wall-walking" which, well, it was exactly what it sounds like.

A stat-based feature that many have wanted in WoW Classic won't be included in the game for design philosophy reasons, Blizzard explained in a recent blog post.
