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...

A lot of you might not care about this milestone even after I explain it, but I'm going to do it anyway. You're welcome. In 2012 World of Warcraft added a new race into the mix: the polarizing Pandaren, who were taken from Warcraft III and ...

After hitting exalted with nearly every new reputation on both the Horde and Alliance sides in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, I've turned my attention to alts and race changes by way of the Allied Race system: a new concept introduc...

World of Warcraft has overshadowed Destiny 2 and FFXIV as my most-played "free time" game at the moment. Despite the qualms some players have with the recent Battle for Azeroth expansion I'm having a great time experiencing the six new...
