Pre-Patch

Patch day for World of Warcraft always means change is on the horizon, but when patch 11.0.1 goes live later today it will include a massive change to the way our accounts work: Warbands.

WoW's Dragonflight Primal Storms pre-expansion event is now live! Though we're still a couple of weeks away from Dragonflight launch day on November 28, the pre-patch event gives us a lot to do — even if you aren't spending the day customizing and leveling a new Dracthyr.

The second phase of the Dragonflight pre-patch is launching today, November 15.

The current Death's Rising event that serves as a bridge between Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands has a lot going on.

I expect we all play a little differently, and no time showcases that more than the pre-patch to an upcoming expansion.

A new bug appears to have emerged with the release of the pre-patch last week that is keeping Alliance characters from proceeding on the quests into Kul Tiras and the Battle for Azeroth War Campaign.

Ah, patch day in World of Warcraft!

Much is changing, or being added, when patch 9.0 -- the pre-patch for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands -- hits the servers this Tuesday, but a considerable amount of things are also going away.

With the release of the Shadowlands pre-patch coming on October 13th all of our carefully collected Corrupted gear will be going away.

Getting ready for all the changes that happen when a new expansion pre-patch drops is a time-honored tradition in World of Warcraft, and it's one I've been through a few times now.
