Discussion

With all the discussion and debate among the community about the removal of flight from future World of Warcraft content, it occurs to me that this also marks an opportunity for us to reflect on features that have been introduced to the game over the course of various expansions.

I have to say, one of the things that's always frustrated me about Warcraft's lore is that some parts of it simply can't be found in the game — even when those events have a pretty big impact on the game's continuity.

A few days ago, I found myself discussing my position at Blizzard Watch with an older relative.

The past week has seen some fairly controversial decisions about the future of flying in WoW announced by Blizzard.

At this stage in Warlords of Draenor, it’s no secret that garrisons generate enormous amounts of gold for their players.

We're starting to get a picture of how the various characters in Overwatch will play in combat.  Sure, we knew the character abilities before, but each of the gameplay previews shows those abilities in action rather than just in the abstract.  It's one thing to be told how McCree or Mercy will act in a match and what their weapons can do, but it's quite another to see them actually taking sides in battle and working with and against the other characters.

In Wrath of the Lich King, achievements seemed to permeate the entire World of Warcraft.

It's been about a week since Blizzard instituted their spring cleaning ban on a high number of accounts.

World of Warcraft is by definition a game that demands a certain level of socialization to get certain content - if you want to run dungeons or raid, you're going to need to be able to get along with groups of people. Even LFR or random battlegrounds, you queue alone, but you play with people. So for me, this expansion, I've done a lot more alt leveling than I ever did before, because there are times that I just want to be alone

World of Warcraft already has a bunch of in-game holidays, but doesn't it seem like it could have more? While I enjoy seeing Azeroth go all out to celebrate special occasions with quests, events, and decorations, most of the holidays we have feel a bit on the stale side.
