In these tumultuous times, what does the future of World of Warcraft look like?

Generally speaking, World of Warcraft saves its most class-altering changes for the patches that introduce the systems for the next expansion -- changes like the loss of Armor Penetration, or the introduction of Holy Power, or the removal of Stances from Warriors.

We originally predicted that patch 9.1.5 would launch in early October, but we finally know that the patch 9.1.5 release date is November 2 — just over a week from now.

I mean, not just Torghast -- I feel like the return of Legion's Mage Tower in patch 9.1.5 and the Horrific Visions from Battle for Azeroth should also have taught them a few things -- but I'm definitely curious what you guys think the Torghast (and to a lesser extent, the Maw and Korthia) experience should teach Blizzard about making soloable content for players.

I mean, we had N'Zoth in Battle for Azeroth, the Burning Legion and Sargeras in Legion, Gul'dan and the Legion in Warlords of Draenor... at this point, it feels to me like maybe we need a departure of some kind from the experiences we have been having in our WoW expansions.

During the Lore Watch podcast recording this week Joe Perez and I got to talking about the factions due to an email question.

It's no secret that I enjoy old content for the sweet transmog loot cradled within, like a Kinder Egg full of potential outfits I haven't acquired yet, so when I see changes to Legion raids like Antorus and the Nighthold -- changes aimed at making these raids easier to solo -- I'm very happy.

I keep thinking about how, from the end of Legion and into Battle for Azeroth we added ten playable races to World of Warcraft and nobody batted an eye.

Unlocking Allied Races can be a lot of effort — particularly if you didn't actively play during the expansion in which they were released.

With the tantalizing possibility of the Mage Tower returning during Legion Timewalking, I immediately started thinkng about other gameplay elements that were once big and which fell out of favor in later World of Warcraft expansions.
