WoW Classic

For its time, the ability to change your hairstyle and other features via the Barber Shop added in Wrath of the Lich King was a pretty big deal.

Back when Burning Crusade Classic rolled out, Blizzard allowed characters to either stay on a pure "Classic Era" server that stopped at level 60, or to progress to a Burning Crusade Classic server to play the new content.

The chaos gremlin in me is a little disappointed, but I think we all knew that Wrath Classic was going to require the sacrifice of the Dungeon Finder.

Though many may have guessed after WoW Classic and Burning Crusade Classic, now it's official: Wrath of the Lich King Classic will be the next expansion to WoW Classic.

One of the things that really makes it hard for me to play WoW Classic is the UI.

We talked about the developers adding new mechanics to Blackwing Lair for the WoW Classic Season of Mastery -- especially end boss Nefarian -- ahead of its release in Phase 3 in an attempt to increase the challenge for players.

You may have heard that Blackwing Lair is getting seriously buffed in WoW Classic's Season of Mastery, with significant changes to almost every single fight -- perhaps every fight, but we don't know what's up with Broodlord Lashlayer yet -- but while some of these fights are pretty radically altered, none is as complicated as the upcoming Nefarian changes.

Back in November, Blizzard launched the first Season of Mastery realms for WoW Classic.

Blackrock Mountain was home to a lot of end-game content during vanilla-era World of Warcraft, were everyone would gather to run Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire, Molten Core, and starting in patch 1.6.0, Blackwing Lair.

The history and lore of Warcraft has usually been defined by eras of war.
