The Curse of Naxxramas adventure is now live, and we've updated our Hearthstone site with tons of new content! We've added a new Solo guides category to the menu, which contains brand new sections dedicated the new adventure. As future solo adventures are released, this new section will be your go-to source for boss information, strategies, deck lists and general tips and tricks to completing an adventure!
The Introduction section includes detailed information about Curse of Naxxramas, including the pricing structure, format facts and a detailed list of the rewards from each boss and class challenge. If you haven't already, be sure to log in during the Curse of Naxxramas release event to gain access to the Arachnid Quarter for free!
We've added a new section dedicated to Class Challenges, the single-player fixed-deck challenges included in the new adventure. This section includes tips and tricks to defeating the Arachnid Quarter's Druid and Rogue class challenges as well as full boss decklists, so you can know what to expect! We've also included videos detailing the challenges to completion!
Finally, we've introduced a detailed guide to the Naxxramas' first wing, the Arachnid Quarter. This guide is mainly written with Heroic difficulty in mind, and offers information on the bosses, their Hero Powers and full deck lists. In this section, we've included deck-building tips and suggestions of cards that will aid you constructing a deck to best defeat these powerful foes! If you're looking for ideas, we've even included sample decks for different classes that should greatly assist in your efforts (if the cards are in your favor, that is)!
We have also updated the arena spreadsheets to include the new cards, and they have been added to all other relevant sections. We will be updating the Solo category with new guides and sections for each win of Naxxramas as it is released. A new wing will unlock each week, so be sure to check back soon for the latest deck lists and strategies! Have fun storming the citadel!

Warlords of Draenor is still some time away, but we wanted to take a look at the battle pets Blizzard has added to the game so far!

We're already starting to see Draenor wild pets along with some awesome profession-crafted pets! The 
Safari Hat item is now a toy, so you can easily "equip" the buff using a spell, rather than having to switch equipment. A newly upgraded hat, the Savage Safari Hat, will be available and offers a phenomenal 20% experience buff! Read on to find out more about the upcoming pets and pet items in Warlords of Draenor!

This week in World of Warcraft sees an update to the Warlords of Draenor Patch notes. Blizzard has done another pass over the abilities and class changes, and a few more spells have been deemed unnecessary (such as the Druid's 
Hibernate ability and Warlock's 
Curse of Exhaustion). There's also been some substantial changes to a variety of specializations, including some welcome changes and re-works for Arms and Fury Warriors. Blizzard has also previewed the new Draenei Male model in their latest Artcraft entry, and he's looking buffer than ever.

Heart of the Valorous buff is back for the entire weekend! Read on for more details in this week's Warcraft recap!
Ranked Play Season 3 has come to a close, and the Rainbow! card back makes way for something sinister. A new Naxxramas card back has been revealed as the reward for reaching Rank 20 in Ranked Play Season 4! Speaking of Naxxramas, there pricing announcement we had anticipated for Curse of Naxxramas has been unexpectedly delayed, and there is currently no ETA on when these details will be revealed. The Adventure is still planned to release some time this month, so we shouldn't have to wait too long to find our more details on the Adventure's pricing and release structure. To hype players up for the upcoming Adventure (as if this was at all needed), Blizzard has published a Naxxramas boss preview article, so players can get to know their upcoming nemeses!

Also, the cutest new member of WoD's pet collection is previewed on Twitter: the Molten Corgi!
In non-WoD news, the Heart of the Valorous buff has temporarily returned to the live servers; no definite word on how long the buff will be active but we can expect it for at least this weekend (last time, the buff was in-game for two weeks). Be sure to check out our Guide to Gaining Valor to maximize your Valor gain! For those of you who would rather focus on looking awesome (which is just as important), Blizzard has posted a guide to soloing Black Temple for the plethora of awesome transmog gear (and Warglaives).

What an exciting week in the World of Warcraft! The Warlords of Draenor Closed Beta has started, and all Alpha characters have been wiped. Players who had Alpha access will have Beta access (of course) and Beta invites have been going out in waves. Blizzard has mentioned that they will be targeting "WoW Veterans" in these first waves of invites, so be sure to keep your eyes on your inbox! With the start of the Beta also comes a major change to the faction hubs for this expansion. The Horde and Alliance will no longer call Bladespire Fortress and Karabor home. The faction hubs will now exist similar to how they were implemented in Mists of Pandaria, on opposing outskirts of the PVP zone of Ashran. There have also been some new hotfixes to the Deserter buff on live servers. Finally, we've got tons of new character model previews, including the official reveal of the Human Male model plus in-progress models for Draenei Male, Undead Male, Human Female and Night Elf Female!
