Warcraft

I often look at WoW Classic and wonder about the way that game is playing out.

I remember the first time my 40 player raid stepped into Naxxramas, the final raid of World of Warcraft's original game.

With the announcement that Shadowlands will not be released later this October, Blizzard offered the option of a refund to those who have already pre-purchased.

For those of you who haven't played any of BioWare's seminal RPG series -- Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, and its MMO counterpart Star Wars: The Old Republic -- one thing that stands out is your ability to form meaningful relationships with the characters you interact with most.

One of the major new systems from World of Warcraft Shadowlands, Conduits, will no longer have a weekly cooldown for adjustments, letting you shift Conduits to suit your playstyle without a long wait.

Starting with the leadup to Warlords of Draenor, Blizzard has released expansion tie-in comics online to help fill in the gaps of story or lore for the forthcoming title (and in one famous example, showing us the future).

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands introduces us, as players, to an entirely new method of zone layout that's more reminiscent of our time on Argus during Legion than anything we've encountered previously.

Okay, so in a move that sure surprised me, Blizzard has decided to push back the release date on Shadowlands, and has announced the release date for the pre-patch to be October 13.

The good news is, we now know the date of the 9.0.1 pre-patch leading up to World of Warcraft's Shadowlands expansion -- October 13.

Blizzard has announced that the World of Warcraft: Shadowlands expansion will be delayed to later this year, while the pre-patch will arrive October 13th.
