World of Warcraft players have access to a nearly infinite number of resources to learn more about the game's mechanics and how to play it, but far less so the story behind it all. Blizzard maintains a wonderful archive that explains the flow of the official lore of Warcraft's over 20 years of content, including cinematics from every game, expansion, and major patch.

With the significant increase in forum activity following the Warlords of Draenor release, Icy Veins is looking for volunteers to moderate class forums, answer questions, and contribute to ongoing theorycraft. Applications are being accepted until February 7, 2015.

Blizzard's tradition of highlighting the Chinese New Year continues within Heroes of the Storm with a new set of Lunar Festival skins, mounts, and bundles. There is also a short-term reward for players who play during the celebratory period.

Back in late October, Blizzard announced that they were banning player accounts that had been identified as having utilized one of the various third-party applications being used to automate gameplay. The duration of the ban for botting was three months, and that time period elapsed effective today.

Hearthstone CM Zeriyah posted today to indicate that an upcoming balance patch will change the text of the Undertaker card to the following: Whenever you summon a minion with Deathrattle, gain +1 Attack. An exact date has not been announced as of yet.

Blizzard came through late last week with the (as of now) complete patch notes for the upcoming 6.1 release currently being tested on the PTR. Significant changes to a number of talents to even out the power level of same-tier options were made for every class.

Due to delays announced last July, the Blood Elf model revamp wasn't completed in time for the Warlords of Draenor release in November. Shortly after launch, Blizzard posted an update on the ongoing artistic update, showing some examples of the ongoing development. Now, those models are in-game.

Knowing that only 0.5% or so of Hearthstone players ever reach Legend, it can seem like a daunting task to even set out on the quest. If you have a decent card collection, a deck or two that you've got lots of experience with, and - more than anything - the time, though, it's an achievable target.

Added to World of Warcraft in Mists of Pandaria, Challenge Modes represent some of the most difficult small-group PvE content in the game. In Warlords of Draenor, the tuning of the Challenge Modes is even tighter. If you haven't already, you should definitely be trying Challenge Modes!
