WoW

Starting today with the Shadowlands pre-patch, Trolls will be able to use a myriad of new fun customizations -- so let's check out the best stuff!

Ah, patch day in World of Warcraft!

With the launch of Shadowlands pre-patch on October 13, a new Mentor system will encourage veteran players to help newbies get started.

Much is changing, or being added, when patch 9.0 -- the pre-patch for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands -- hits the servers this Tuesday, but a considerable amount of things are also going away.

Pre-expansion patches -- and expansions themselves -- are always an exciting time.

Are you ready for the weekend?

Easter Eggs (that is, things that are references or call backs to other media) are a hot-button topic for me.

We've know for awhile now that the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur would no longer be available for sale in Shadowlands — the dino will be gone in patch 9.0.1 which goes live next week. And while many are lamenting its imminent removal from vendors, it's not gone for good, because it will be periodically available on the Black Market Auction House, starting with the pre-patch.

Shadowlands has potential to be a great expansion, but Shadowlands also has potential to be a problematic expansion.

For me, it was the rumored possibility of being able to transmog our shoulder armor independently that I realize no one promised me, but I really got my hopes up for it and now I'm sad it doesn't seem to be coming in Shadowlands.
