The next stage in the World of Warcraft: Legion pre-expansion experience has begun!

The Legion pre-expansion patch is arriving on July 20, and we wanted to share some details on what to expect—and roughly when to expect it.

In World of Warcraft Patch 6.2, you’ll oversee your Garrison’s first new major construction project—and take command of your forces in a whole new theater of war.

If you haven’t been keeping up on the latest World of Warcraft news, you might not be aware that World of Warcraft Patch 5.2: Throne of Thunder is on the horizon. Well, 5.2 is well on its way and it’s bringing PvE features like a brand new questing hub and a huge new raid, but it’s also introducing new features that will have a significant impact on the PvP aspects of World of Warcraft, including a number of class and gearing changes.

With the release of Mists of Pandaria, we introduced a new Legendary quest line, available to all classes and factions. Let’s catch up with the quest line so far and take a peek at what’s to come in patch 5.2: Rise of the Thunder King.

With 5.2 fast approaching I’ve been wanting to get my thoughts together on how I should be playing in the last couple weeks before the patch. Are there any reps I should catch up on; do I need to worry about spending currencies or upgrading items; and just in general what do I need to start doing now to maximize my play time before and after the patch releases?

Change is coming to PvP gear in the relatively near future, and we wanted to provide a not-so-brief update on the improvements we’re planning, while pulling the curtain aside a bit so you can see the thought processes that motivated the coming changes. We also thought this would also be a great time to get the World of Warcraft PvP community involved in the discussion.

We’ve prepared a glimpse of the environments and denizens coming in the 5.2 patch, which is now available on the PTR. Stay tuned for more development updates in the weeks ahead.

Here you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to the recently released World of Warcraft patch 5.0.5

With the release of Patch 5.0.4, a number of features and changes that aren’t strictly in the continent of Pandaria will be added to the game. I’ve drummed up this guide (with the help of a lot of other people) to ensure you’re prepared for the patch, aware of how it will impact your characters and experience, and ultimately get you into and enjoying the improvements the patch brings as quickly as possible.

The currency conversion coming with Mists of Pandaria is going to happen in three stages, and this is how we plan for it to progress.

World of Warcraft Patch 4.2, Rage of the Firelands is here! With a new raid, a legendary questline, all-new raid tier and PvP armor sets, the most diverse daily questing experience to date, major story developments, PvP Season 10, user interface enhancements, and much more, patch 4.2 has brought Azeroth a little something for everyone.

It’s patch day! World of Warcraft Patch 4.2 goes live on European realms today, and as usual you’ll be wanting to download it and get into the game to check out all the changes, bug fixes and new features. But what if you’ve encountered an issue while patching?

Deep in the core of the earth, the wheels of time grind and creak while shaping the fate of men. The past and present are churned together into one path as the great wheels move forward in time. This Tuesday may seem quite insignificant to those operating the great wheels, but for the mortals living above, Tuesday means Community News, and to them the time has come to read the latest fan site updates, laugh at the latest WoW comics, and join the discussions in interesting forum threads.

Ahh… It is Friday! The end of the week is upon us, and one feels giddy just thinking of all the fun to be had this glorious weekend. But wait! Before we start whistling innocently and casually walk out into the hallway to empty the vending machine of all those awesome waffles and then run off into the sunset laughing like maniacs, it is time for the Community News… After all, no Friday is truly complete without the latest fan site updates, WoW comics, and of course the forum watch.

A new week, a new Tuesday, a new Community News. Hot stuff this week has been 4.2 PTR changes, the 4.2 trailer, and more on the Arena Comunity Challenge. Oh, and don't forget to read about the superdupermegaultrapowerful healing touch in the comics section ;)

Ten years ago, a field bellman unit was sent to the stockades by the House of Nobles for announcing news that was too shocking. These bellmen promptly escaped from the maximum security stockades to the Stormwind underground. Today, still wanted by the Nobles, they survive as town criers of fortune. If you want the latest fan site news, and amusing WoW Comics, and interesting Forum Threads as well, maybe you can read... The Community News.
