Blizzard took to Twitch this week to broadcast an update for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, and it's a doozy. In the coming months BFA will host update 8.1, the first major patch of the expansion. It'll continue the war campaign (Al...

Blizzard frequently runs various limited time events, some of which are beloved in-game occurrences supported entirely by the subscription fee, and some of which that are...not. This one falls into the latter category, as the publisher has ...

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth just wrapped up its world-first race for its inaugural mythic raid, Uldir. For you non-WoW players out there: a titan research facility that involved experimentation with Old Gods. It was a cl...

The race to get a world first clear for Uldir, World of Warcraft's newest Mythic (above normal and heroic as the highest difficulty available) raid heralded in by the Battle for Azeroth expansion, is heating up. Uldir arrived just this past...

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth's first raid is a good one. Uldir, nestled in the center of the Nazmir zone on the horde-ruled continent of Zandalar, arrived just last week. With a heavy emphasis on blood magic and the occult Uld...

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth gave us two beautiful new continents, an engaging high-stakes storyline, and some great instanced content. Where it falls short is with content that's new to the expansion: most notably Island Expeditio...

Every World of Warcraft player, new or old, has a favorite era. Whether it was the one they played first or the one right before they left: there are a lot of individual, personal stories that were born out of this 14 year old phenomen...

As promised, Blizzard is debuting the first raid for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth today: Uldir. It deals with the Old Gods and the confrontation with G'huun, the blood god, which is happening amid the actual Horde and Alliance conf...

Azshara was once a mighty Highborne who ruled a beautiful kingdom in the World of Warcraft lore, but that day has since long passed. Now she rules the traditionally evil Naga faction underwater, and is set to be one of the major antagonists...

World of Warcraft welcomed its third Kingdom Hearts reference with the Battle for Azeroth expansion. I'm sure half of you are saying "really!?" right now and the other half are going "God why?" It's the Kingdom Hearts effect ...

It's been an amazing second Summer for yer boy Crash Bandicoot, but N. Sane Trilogy has finally been knocked off of the top of the UK charts, a position it has held for over a month straight.The two games responsible for finally pushing Cra...

World of Warcraft is enjoying another wind right now. I hesitate to label it as "second," because you could argue several eras have been examples of resplendent comebacks (Wrath of the Lich King is the most popular choice of our commun...

In an era filled to the brim with free-to-play MMOs, World of Warcraft is still very much a contender. Blizzard announced from the winds of Gamescom's sails that the newest expansion, Battle for Azeroth, is the "fastest-selling World o...

As I've progressed in World of Warcraft's endgame to get ready for the first raid in several weeks (and the upcoming co-op themed War Mode), I've come across a number of shortcuts to level up: here's one of the most important tidbits I've f...

The latest expansion for Blizzard's still hugely-successful MMORPG, World of Warcraft, saw amazing sales in its release week, putting Battle for Azeroth straight in at number three in this week's UK Charts.This mighty debut still wasn't eno...

World of Warcraft might not have the same cultural cache it once had in an era filled with multi-million player free-to-play MMOs, but at this point it's most definitely an institution. The fact is, Blizzard has maintained the project for n...

As I've opined many times these past few weeks, it's hard to believe that the World of Warcraft character I started (an Orc Shaman) over a decade ago is still alive and well within the data centers of Blizzard. I've played through ever...

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth released last night. In under five hours, someone hit its new max level cap of 120. According to Icy Veins that honor goes to Gingi (part of World of Warcraft's Method eSports organization, who took the...

It's insane to me that World of Warcraft has lasted nearly 14 years and is just now preparing to host another expansion in mere days. Having played since the start I've witnessed myriad changes first-hand, some small, and some so monumental...

It's hard to imagine that the Undercity (below Lordaeron) and Teldrassil as we know them have been ransacked. Having played World of Warcraft since its beta I've created many additional characters (alts) in both locations, and witnessi...

Blizzard rocked the World of Warcraft community by having Sylvanas Windrunner, current Warchief of the horde, burn down the Teldrassil World Tree and slaughter tons of Night Elves -- just like we thought she would when they hinted...

Sylvanas Windrunner has catapulted to the forefront of Warcraft lore in recent years, which has caused all sorts of debate as to whether or not she's worthy of all the attention. As a former High Elf turned undead by the Lich King she'...

I've been having a lot of fun throughout World of Warcraft's Legion expansion, but I'm coming from the experience of having played it since the beginning with a heap of high-level characters to romp around with. For many Legion is their fir...

The concept of "deep lore" in any medium is an interesting conundrum. You have worlds that are immediately captivating like Tolkien's Middle-earth that have depth to them, and universes that require a bit of delving before the appeal really...

Once upon a time it was a royal pain in the ass to group up with friends in World of Warcraft, especially friends who you just met and had already started playing. With so many different servers to choose from many people were separated, an...
