Warbands may be the biggest change coming in The War Within expansion later this year: it's a new account progression system that fundamentally changes how your characters and account function.

If you're coming back to World of Warcraft for patch 10.2.5, the Seeds of Renewal, you may have a lot of catching up to do.

Reputation is a major mechanic in World of Warcraft, representing how various factions in the game feel about your character and their actions.

I think at this point the Horde and Alliance need to exist as separate and somewhat adversarial entities in World of Warcraft.

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

I wonder about this one fairly constantly, because I used to play both factions a lot more than I do now.

Anduin Wrynn, High King of the Alliance, is currently believed to be trapped in Torghast, the Jailer's rogue-like prison in the Maw.

One of the reasons Mists of Pandaria is my favorite expansion in terms of lore and story is because it's Blizzard's Platoon.

If you remember we covered the announcement of the Shadowlands prequel novel Shadows Rising, complete with an excerpt of the book.

I've been thinking a lot about what N'Zoth fate in patch 8.3 means for World of Warcraft going forward.
