Just recently, someone brought this Steam community post from the game Factorio to my attention. In it, the developer jests that "several top men" have taken time off to play World of Warcraft Classic, which is not only a believable stateme...

Blizzard is gearing up for another BlizzCon this year, and the key art is set in stone. Revealed this past weekend the piece definitely centers around Overwatch and World of Warcraft (with Tracer and Sylvanas in the frontlines), but there's...

World of Warcraft Classic has had a hell of an opening. WoW is in the collective zeitgeist yet again, and Blizzard managed to do it while keeping the main version of the game still running. To keep that momentum going and to alleviate any c...

World of Warcraft Classic, a recreation of the "Vanilla WoW," launched just last Tuesday and a group of 40 people has risen to the occasion, leveled to the cap, geared up, and defeated the last boss of Molten Core ( Ragnaros): the first maj...

I was there in the early days of World of Warcraft. It wasn't until Burning Crusade when I'd join a server-first guild and really live that WoW life you've heard so much about, but while I was focusing on my university studie...

So as you may have heard (possibly by trying to log into Battle.net in any capacity and finding much of it offline), World of Warcraft Classic is out. Like, right now! But good luck playing it if you're on a high population server. Jus...

If you've created a character, go ahead and log into World of Warcraft Classic: I'll wait! Ready? Okay, if you see a "high" population notation on your server of choice, you may want to think twice and make your character somewhere else (or...

The year is 2019. The Amazon is on fire (the one with the trees), Disney owns Spider-Man, and World of Warcraft is coming out again. Well, not exactly. When vanilla WoW launched, Martha Stewart was convicted of a felony, Facebook had just l...

World of Warcraft Classic is set to launch on August 27, and stop me if you've heard this before: a lot of folks are taking off work to partake. But you may want to readjust your plans based on a new tidbit of info from Blizzard. Thankfully...

[Update: The process is now live! You can find full instructions here.] Later this month on August 27, the floodgates will be opened and World of Warcraft Classic will finally arrive. Given that folks are understandably invested in thi...

World of Warcraft entered a new era recently with its Rise of Azshara patch, and now the main event has arrived: the Eternal Palace raid, featuring Queen Azshara herself, a character that has been part of the overall Warcraft ...

World of Warcraft's Thrall has been MIA/retired for a while in the MMO's universe, having served his time protecting the horde and well, the very fabric of the universe. But like all heroes (and lucrative nostalgic intellectual property) it...

World of Warcraft is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year (it feels older, doesn't it?), and WoW Classic will be joining in on the festivities. It'll launch on August 27, and will herald in a "World of Warcraft 15th Anniversary C...

The second raid of Battle for Azeroth, the latest World of Warcraft expansion is opening up today. This new instance, called Battle of Dazar'alor, sees the Alliance and the Horde fight for the control of the Dazar'alor, the Zandalari T...

A hub really helps make or break a World of Warcraft expansion for me. Going back to Dalaran was a highlight in Legion, and I'll never forget the war-torn feel of Shattrath. This poster has me pining to return to the former yet ag...

Artist Justin Hall recently picked up World of Warcraft and gave it a spin with an Undead Mage, putting a new twist on the leveling process: drawing his character as it grows. The idea is that Hall spends 10 minutes on a level 10 sketc...

Patch 8.1, dubbed Tides of Vengeance, is Battle for Azeroth’s first major content patch that hits live servers this week. New content, class changes, a new War Campaign chapter, and system-wide improvements to existing featu...

World of Warcraft's Battle for Azeroth update is coming on December 11. It's called "Tides of Vengeance," and will continue the Horde vs. Alliance theme that kicked off at the tail-end of Legion. The War Campaign will continue with a D...

Blizzard just added an amazing item for the 14th anniversary of World of Warcraft: the Overtuned Corgi Goggles. The description doesn't mess around, as they literally allow you to view the world as if it were inhabited by corgis. Here'...

10 years ago this very week, World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King expansion (its second) changed the entire MMO landscape. While Blizzard had already helped bolster the genre with World of Warcraft proper and the fantastic Burning Cru...

Well as it turns out: burning a World Tree in cold blood does pay off. Although the player base was on fire going into the launch of World of Warcraft's Battle for Azeroth expansion, Activision saw the green in the end. Speaking on an ...

Originally the World of Warcraft Classic demo (which provides two zones, one for each faction, for levels 15-19) was just going to run for roughly a week's time directly following BlizzCon's opening ceremony, but the timeline has been exten...

Earlier this year we talked about the current leveling problem in World of Warcraft and Blizzard's vague promise to fix it. Go ahead and give the article a read so you're up to speed. You didn't, did you? To sum things up the powers th...

Fans were stunned after yesterday's announcement of Warcraft III: Reforged. Not only did Blizzard remember that Warcraft was once a strategy game, but they were going much farther in updating the classic than last year's StarCraft: Remaster...

Last year when I attempted to ask the World of Warcraft team anything specific about Classic, they always steered me away with the same response: "we're trying to focus on Battle for Azeroth for now." They've maintained that ...
