WoW

Everything we do in World of Warcraft hinges on a few key moments.

A while ago I mentioned that of the new Allied Races, Dark Irons were my favorite.

Update: This was originally published just for our supporters, but now it's available for everyone.

Folks, let's talk about heirlooms.

The Horde, if it knows nothing else, really knows how to tick Jaina Proudmoore off.

A lot of times, there's a character service in World of Warcraft that you'd like to take advantage of -- say for example that a couple of new Allied Races were being added to the game, like Zandalari Trolls and Kul Tiran Humans, who had access to a whole new series of Druid transformations that were astonishingly rad and you'd like to switch your boring current Druid to the new hotness in time to tank the next raid as a dinosaur -- but those selfsame character services were just a touch too pricey for you.

In the first half of this retrospective of all the eras of WoW, Wrath of the Lich King came out ahead as the early frontrunner.

The Brawler's Guild reopens today with patch 8.1.5.

Update: The servers are back up early, so you can jump in and get playing right now if that's your thing.

It's here.
