World of Warcraft proper was not left out of the BlizzCon 2021 news cycle, as Shadowlands is still trucking. Well, I might add! I still play it weekly, and it looks like I'm going to have a lot more to do soon when the "Chains of ...

At this point, seasonal Blizzard events are like clockwork. Unfortunately, they're not as unique as they once were: that goes double for say, Overwatch, which can feel on maintenance mode at times. Similarly, World of Warcraft jus...

Man, look at that World of Warcraft: Shadowlands screenshot! I have enough of those to last the entire next year, and then some. It's a beautiful expansion, but a lot of you will probably want to enjoy it with alts. The good news is th...

Since World of Warcraft's launch in 2004, I've seen pretty much every up and down you can imagine. Its highest points (Burning Crusade into Wrath of the Lich King), its lowest point (shades of Cataclysm, Pandaria, and most of Draenor), and ...

For years, some dedicated World of Warcraft players have been "multi-boxing," a term that refers to utilizing multiple accounts and machines to play several (or droves of) characters at once. In the before-times, this was commonly know...

Ever since I created my Orc Warlock 16 years ago, I've been playing World of Warcraft annually. That sounds pretty crazy out loud now that I think about it. Nearly two decades of playing the game same: a sentiment that many have eye-rolled ...

There's a joke among MMO players that every single release in the same space is dubbed a "WoW Killer." One of the more popular podcasts on the game is even based around that concept! The reality is that although there are plenty o...

When does Shadowlands drop? Right before Thanksgiving, as it turns out. After missing its previous October 27 release date, the World of Warcraft expansion will launch on Monday, November 23 at 3:00 p.m. Pacific. That's not as bad as "late...
