When Blizzard first announced Battle for Azeroth, one of the aspects that stuck out to me was the number of leveling zones each side was being given.

Except now that I've mentioned it's been a quiet day, I can only assume that Blizzard, watching from the shadows, will decide to announce something exciting so that I cannot step away from the blog and play Warcraft for a while.

Earlier today, the Hearthstone esports team announced a new competition pitting certain European countries against each other.

 

The Uprising event is coming back to Overwatch next month, with what may be some significant changes.

You know, I had every intention of not bothering to choose between Scryer or Aldor while leveling my Nightborne in Outland. Partially because it didn’t really matter in the long run, but mostly because I was avoiding the Dreaded Tour of Shattrath. But it turns out there are quests in Netherstorm that don’t unlock unless you’ve chosen a side — and you don’t get the completion achievement for the zone unless you complete those.

So I swallowed my pride, queued up a show on Netflix and prepared to be really bored for a lengthy period of time while I followed Khadgar’s favorite ethereal marshmallow on its crawling parade around the city. It says it won’t take long. It is lying. It takes long.

If I got more experience out of the…experience, I’d be happier about it. You know what doesn’t take long? Answering your questions. Let’s get to that.

The Overwatch community has some incredibly talented cosplayers among its ranks, and Blizzard wants to celebrate.

It's been four months -- almost five, really -- since BlizzCon 2017 and the announcement of WoW Classic.

There have been so many card reveals and we aren't even to the halfway point yet.

Much like Merriam-Webster reflects what has entered common English parlance, World of Warcraft is a living record of pop culture.
