If you missed the WoW Classic beta test, and you feel like you just can't wait until August 27th when the game goes live, then I have some good news for you -- the WoW Classic beta is back on.

Back in the day, Blizzard did a series of pen-and-paper RPG tie-ins.

If you're interested in WoW Classic you may be wondering what the game was about in those days.

WoW Classic is just about to launch, and if you want to play without many roadblocks to your journey, you should download and install some addons.

Update: This is live in game now!

Sometimes, when you're dealing with Blizzard, it's as much about what they don't say as what they do say.

Westfall changed a great deal when the cataclysm hit.

While some of you were securing your names for WoW Classic, I was making plans. This was mostly because I was trying to pass the time while I was waiting in the queue to log in, but that’s beside the point. The point is, I was able to con Mitch into teaching me how to play Fortnite, and we’re going to do it on the Blizzard Watch Twitch channel this Wednesday in my usual 9 p.m. CST time slot.

I only installed the game so far. Don’t rush me. I’m sure it’s going to go really well. Let’s A some Qs!

Okay, let me just get it out of the way up front -- I've never liked any RPG published as much as I liked the boxed Dungeons and Dragons basic set when I got it in the early 80s.
