Discussion

As December rapidly approaches we're now hitting a standard lull in the gaming calendar, with the selection of new releases probably the thinnest we'll see all year -- although there are a couple titles I'm planning to pick up next month.

Player housing is a popular topic — we can't go a week without someone bringing it up — and it's also one of the few remaining icons of the players want this checklist, alongside the Dance Studio and dual-wielding pistols for Hunters.

Today is reset day for the North American WoW servers, and barring a last minute defeat of Tindral Sageswift and a vastly undertuned final encounter in Amirdrassil it looks like Mythic difficulty Fyrakk will survive the first week of Dragonflight Season 3.

We're trucking along with patch 10.2 and the Defenders of the Dream storyline.

World of Warcraft Classic's upcoming Season of Discovery is putting a new spin on Classic Azeroth by adding Discoveries, a new exploratory reward that leads to new class abilities through a rune engraving system, a different levelling experience, and re-imagined endgame encounters.

Why do we still play games like World of Warcraft?

I still remember with fond nostalgia going wall walking with my wife back in original World of Warcraft, and all the strange places we found throughout Azeroth.

One of the features in the World of Warcraft 10.2 patch is the Pathfinder achievement, which allows us to use old-world flying in the Dragon Isles, including the new Emerald Dream zone.

I can't stop thinking about the Season of Discovery coming to WoW Classic and wondering how it would feel if we saw something similar for the modern game.

There was a time when I played mostly in progression guilds in World of Warcraft, when any game I played I at least tried it on hard first, when I felt like game achievements were, if not important, at least interesting to work out the means to achieve.
