Check out some of the great new looks you can give your Orcs in Shadowlands!

After getting a first look at the Soulbind and Conduit system in Shadowlands, I had some apprehensions, because it shares many of the same mechanics that plagued Battle for Azeroth's Azerite Armor.

We have seen a lot of hotfixes that specifically target aspects of the Corrupted gear system.

Corruption was the major gameplay system added to bring more depth and choices to itemization in Battle for Azeroth's patch 8.3, and it's seen a lot of updates, hotfixes, and changes since it went live.

I suppose that means there’s no more time to waste: let’s get to the Queue.

This week, Matt Rossi and Joe Perez explore how to engage a new player with the vast lore of WoW, how Tyrande and the Night Elves could play into the pre-expansion event, and the importance of Blizzard acknowledging a transgender NPC in the Shadowlands alpha.

Of the many, many pieces of news unveiled yesterday, one of them seemed to strike a nerve among the community more than others: Heirlooms will no longer provide XP bonuses in Shadowlands.

I know, I know: we left last month's D&D game on a pretty big cliffhanger, and I promise we'll get back to that.

During an inverview with content creator MrGM, Lead Game Designer for World of Warcraft Morgan Day revealed that, with the release of the next expansion, Shadowlands, heirlooms will no longer provide an XP bonus.
