Darkmoon-faire

Coming reasonably close on the heels of patch 8.1, World of Warcraft's patch 8.1.5 will bring a lot more changes to Azeroth.

Old Silas Darkmoon has been working on something big behind the scenes at the Darkmoon Faire.

Ah, the Darkmoon Faire, monthly favorite for games, toys, achievements, and leveling professions...

Update: Though the Darkmoon Faire has come and gone, the World Quest bonus event is back this week.

I love Darkmoon Faire week for precisely one reason: that sweet Darkmoon carousel buff.

If you're planning on leveling an alt, it's worth hitting up Brewfest and then heading over to the Darkmoon Faire -- or using your Top Hat if you have one. If you're leveling through Invasions already, a solid 20% XP buff will make it go even faster

Blizzard has released its calendar of events for August and there's plenty to keep everyone busy while patch 7.3 continues to roll out in testing on the PTR.

Today is the Fourth of July, which means most people will be spending the day relaxing and the night reveling. For me, this holiday has always felt a lot like New Year’s Eve — not only is it almost at the exact opposite end of the calendar, but it’s also largely a lot of build-up to a nighttime showing of lights and noise.

I definitely prefer it over New Year’s, but it’s still one of those holidays that, as a kid, I used to look forward to greatly because it meant staying up late and playing with explosives. At some point, it went from something I was excited about to something I remembered being excited about, which means it’s hard to ever live up to what I remember it feeling like.

But y’know what? I’m still going to make things explode and have fun doing so. I hope all you Stateside folks do the same!

July is looking like a pretty packed month as far as events go.
