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...

An MMO needs to iterate upon itself to survive. It's a simple fact that any game which constantly consumes resources needs to constantly change to keep its players interested. That's one reason why I have so much fascination and interest in...

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...

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...

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...

Square Enix and Capcom have a nice rapport going on with their crossover events for Monster Hunter: World and Final Fantasy XIV. Just last week the former welcomed a guest Behemoth boss battle into the fray, and as of today, XIV is get...

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...
