This included the necropoleis retreating, the gloomy clouds overhead dissipating, and a bulk of the Argent Dawn forces taking their leave. A few hours later… it all came back.

The WoW Insider tipline is lighting up like crazy with shocking reports from Orgrimmar: Thrall is gone. At least, missing from Orgrimmar. Maybe he has a beach house in Stranglethorn Vale, but we haven’t seen or heard anything about that yet. A new Apothecary can be seen to the right of […]

Inside Higher Ed was pretty much the last place I ever expected to see a serious article on World of Warcraft. The study of MMORPG’s isn’t really part of mainstream academia (…yet), so imagine my surprise at finding an article comparing effective raid leading to teaching.

The elders spoke of a day when great, sweeping changes would come to us Shamans. A day when our command of the elements would become unsurpassed and we would harness power like never seen on Azeroth (kind of like Retadins). Today, my friends, is not that day. In fact, today may well be […]

Although not a ton happened to Rogues in this latest patch, we at WoW Insider like to keep our coverage well-rounded, so let’s run down the Rogue patch notes.

Mages, don’t worry, you weren’t left out of the love light this patch. Not at all. The number of bug fixes in your section of the patch notes does outweigh the number of substantive changes, but one of the substantive changes is very significant. Let’s start with a bang:
