This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt, and Joe dive into the mailbag to answer your questions. This time around it’s a discussion about priests versus paladins, an exploration into Orcish etymology, some good sources of loa lore, an exploration into those Artifact weapons we left behind, and a gigantic mind-boggling tangent in which the connections between Azshara, Illidan, Malfurion, and Azeroth are explored.

This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt, and Joe are back to discuss all the lore reveals from BlizzCon 2018 – and boy is there a lot to cover! From new stories in Diablo Immortal to the appearance of Nazjatar and a little story about a lady named Ashe in between, BlizzCon gave us a lot of story to talk about – and in some cases, left us wanting more.

This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt, and Joe dive back into the mailbag to answer your questions! In addition to an in-depth look at Lady Liadrin, there’s discussion about the origins of the Shadowlands, the Storm dragons of the Broken Isles, and of course some thoughts on Odyn to go along with it all.

This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt, and Joe spend some time answering your questions and give a closer look to some tinfoil-hat-ish puzzles along the way. What is Elune, anyway? How are all these Titan facilities connected? Just how powerful is Azshara? And what’s in store for the dragonflights in the future?

This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt, and Joe dive right into the mailbag to answer your questions, and promptly get swept into a whirlwind of discussion on elf lore in general. Tyrande, the Night Elves, the Naga, the Blood Elves, Suramar, and the Nightborne – it all gets touched on in this episode and then some, what with all the expected tangents amidst the discussion!

World of Warcraft, Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone, Overwatch, and even Diablo — for just about every game, there’s an upcoming patch or update that’s going to shake things up (or at least add some new treats for us to play with). That’s kind of a lot to happen in one week, so let’s run the big news of the last week.
Tides of Vengeance is coming...

There are, in my opinion, several factors contributing to people's dissatisfaction with gearing up in Battle for Azeroth. Before I go into terrific detail, I should express the following -- it's actually fairly easy to get decent gear this expansion. I've geared two characters up to above 340 and a third to 330 and it really didn't take too much time to get it done. The problem is in the interaction between various changes between Legion an...

On the World of Warcraft home page, there is a very big section for Recruit-a-Friend. Created in 2008, this program was a way for you to bring a friend to Azeroth and play the game with them. Current players got a free month of game time, and both of you got triple experience when you played together. Plus, you got a 2018-09-19 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post
Patch 8.1, Tides of Vengeance, will be hitting the PTR in just a few days, and that means patch day is coming to the live servers soon. With Blizzard, Soon™️ can mean a lot of different things… so we’ll have to wait and see just what happens. But let’s run down what we know about the patch and everything else from the day.
All things patch 8.1
Today has been slow on news, but big on conversation, so let's talk about what we're talking about.
I lied. There was one piece of news today.

Every day I go through a semi-familiar routine, at this point. Log into WoW, check to see which emissary is up for the day, and head to the mission table to cash in on any missions I’ve finished. At one point the mission table was a focus of interest for me – was I going to get one of those missions with a pet or a mount as a reward? What kind of champion equipment would I have waiting for me this time? Was that pile of gold going to bonus into an even
I’m not sure I quite understand, but turtles are totally in right now, and I’m sticking to what’s trendy. But enough of that: let’s check out the week’s news.

In some ways, I'm done with Battle for Azeroth until the next patch. In others, I've never had more to do at max level than I do in this expansion. Both are true statements, despite their contradictory nature. Content and its consumption have been at the heart of the success and failure of every expansion in World of Warcraft history. Battle for Azeroth is shaping up to be no exception to this rule.
So what do I mean by that cont...
