WoW Classic Guides and News

We have a couple of weeks left until BlizzCon and the leaks and rumors have been heating up, with today's having at least a hint of credibility. It comes from streamer Metro_ow, and he's claiming to have a source that has given him a lot of info on the announcements and some game specifics for Overwatch 2 as well.

Why should he be considered credible? He's already leaked a number of things about Ashe from last year's BlizzCon, around a week before the actual reveal, with the info coming from the same source - "someone tied directly to a Blizzard dev". Now, obviously that doesn't mean his leaks are real this time around, but it at least separates him from the pack. But what exactly is he leaking? Yesterday at 21:12 by Starym 10 comments

It seems we have some very enthusiastic people in the closed WC3: Reforge beta, as youtuber Book of Flames has posted several videos of the game running on max settings at 1080p at 60FPS! We get a good look at the Orc and Human factions, with 3 matches being played and a surprise cameo by a Pandaren Brewmaster! We get some nice zoom-ins on a few units as well and a pretty good showcase of the game in action. Oct 17, 2019 at 19:35 by Starym 16 comments

WoW Classic Free Character Moves (EU) Coming October 18th

Free Character Moves in Europe will be available starting tomorrow from select realms in addition to the free transfers from all PvP servers to Mandokir (EU). Oct 17, 2019 at 12:15 by Stan

Free Character Moves US/OC Realms: October 17th

There's a whole lot more free moves coming tomorrow from pretty much all US and OC servers, in addition to the already ongoing moves to Latin American and Brazillian realms. While the transfers start tomorrow, there's no end date listed, however moves will be closed as soon as a target realm reaches high population. With layering being removed completely soon, and already at a bare minimum now, these moves come at a pretty good time. Oct 17, 2019 at 00:06 by Starym

It seems there was a short-lived bug in Dire Maul North that allowed the buff the guards gave after completing a tribute run to stack! A hotfix has been deployed around 30 minutes ago and that is no longer the case, so if you managed to snag some extra power you've had your fun and it's now fixed!

Hotfix for October 15: Enchants No Longer Count as Helpful Auras

It's been a while since we got word that something weird was happening with the auras in Classic, with several aspects that affect them already resolved. Today we have further progress on that, namely the part where some item enchants were using up slots and thus knocking off helpful buffs like Power Word: Fortitude and the like, as the issue has been partially fixed. There are still some item enchants that require a slot, but that's what it was like in 1.12 as well so it's staying. Check out the full details below: Oct 15, 2019 at 22:15 by Starym 1 comment

Ion Hazzikostas on Layering and Phase 2 Launch Window

Gamespot talked to Blizzard's President J. Allen Brack about WoW Classic, mobile titles, porting WoW to consoles, and Activision. Here are the highlights. Oct 03, 2019 at 19:30 by Stan 20 comments

Blizzard is still hard at work, planning to eliminate layering before WoW Classic Phase 2. The last time a server in the US had more than 3 layers was the first week of September, almost all realms reached 2 layers shortly afterward. Even Faerlina has just two layers right now. Select realms have reached their end-state of a single layer. Servers that have two layers will be marked as "Layered" in the realms list soon. Oct 03, 2019 at 16:21 by Stan 3 comments

WoW Classic launched back in August and Blizzard's plan according to the latest information is to remove layering two months after launch. While we still don't have a date for Phase 2, it's time to look at what's coming to WoW Classic next. Oct 02, 2019 at 17:04 by Stan 5 comments

Closing Free Character Moves to Heartseeker (US)

WoW Classic City Tour: Undercity (Official)

Here comes another city tour, although this is one is probably more needed than the rest, as Undercity can get pretty annoying sometimes. You can also check out the Stormwind, Orgrimmar and Ironforge ones. Sep 28, 2019 at 00:36 by Starym 1 comment

Here comes our favorite Classic list, as the "things people assume are bugs but are actually features of Vanilla" grows yet again! We found out there's no Eternal Quintessence yet, as well as many recipes which will all arrive in later phases, proc stuns aren't and do not diminish other stuns and a lot more.

Here comes the third official Classic city tour, after Stormwind and Orgrimmar got their spot in the sun, it's time for Ironforge to get its turn... well, not exactly in the sun, but still. You can also check out the way to get around Azeroth as a whole right here. Sep 24, 2019 at 23:18 by Starym

We have some more news on the Feign Death bugs and problems, after Blizzard acknowledged them and announced a hotfix for one aspect of the issues. It seems they've identified the major issue causing the problems and the fix is already live on NA servers and is coming to EU with the weekly realm restarts. Check out the detailed explanation as to what exactly went wrong below: Sep 24, 2019 at 20:17 by Starym

Avoiding Guards in Neutral Cities Qualifies as Terrain Exploitation

Using terrain and buildings to avoid guards in neutral cities is against the rules in WoW Classic and can get you into trouble! Sep 23, 2019 at 23:12 by Stan 13 comments

Blizzard has been promoting WoW Classic in a series of videos, where developers share their memories from working on World of Warcraft and in this article, you'll find Episodes 1-5. Sep 23, 2019 at 20:13 by Stan 1 comment

Estimates Show Classic Has Grown Subs by 223%

Superdata, a company analyzing gamer spending activity and compiling monthly reports on it, has published its report for August, estimating that World of Warcraft subscriptions are up by 223% compared to the previous month, but didn't manage to beat the numbers at Battle for Azeroth's launch. This put WoW in third place for total worldwide digital earnings in August, with Dungeon Fighter Online and League of Legends ahead of it. Sep 23, 2019 at 18:21 by Starym 7 comments

True World First Classic Sulfuras, from China

It seems we spoke too soon when we announced the first Sulfuras today, as a Chinese player actually completed it 4 days ago! With Classic it's a little harder to track exactly who got a WF, and in our previous post the comment linking the earlier completion wasn't in yet at the time of posting. As we weren't getting a lot of information out of the Asian Classic scene during the leveling stage we consequently missed this one as well. Apologies to LongDD who got the legendary mace first, on September 17th to be exact, and here's the video to commemorate the crafting: Sep 21, 2019 at 17:15 by Starym 5 comments

West First Classic Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros Crafted

Update: apologies for the headline, it should have read WEST first - with the leveling and raid race for Classic we used West as we didn't have info from Asia servers so I made the mistake of lumping it in as a "World First". Apologies!
Here's the article about the real World First, Chinese player LongDD.

Original article:
We already reported on the World First Eye of Sulfuras drop some 2 weeks ago, but actually crafting the thing takes a whole lot of time and resources, so it's only now that the actual weapon has popped up in the game! The original first drop came for the guild Venture from Flamelash EU, but it seems Senseless from Firemaw EU focused more on acquiring all the mats and most of all transmutes needed to get the thing assembled! Big congratulations to the guild and Kembria in particular! Sep 21, 2019 at 10:44 by Starym 6 comments

WoW Classic City Tour: Orgrimmar (Official)

We have another official tour of a capital city, and this time it's the Horde that's getting a look around their home. With a whole lot of class and profession trainers and vendors marked, and each part of the city mapped, the only other thing you really need to know is how long to spend running around the bank roof. The correct answer is: forever.

You can also check out the Stormwind tour and the various ways you can get around Azeroth. Sep 21, 2019 at 03:20 by Starym 4 comments

Here come some more Classic hotfixes, as Blizzard have found at least part of the issue that was causing problems with hunters' Feign Death. It seems the spell cancelling for turning is more sensitive in Classic than it was in 1.12, so it's much easier for the Feign to cancel out. The hotfix will address this issue, but excessive turning both during and after the cast will still cause it to fail, but it will be less likely after the hotfix. Sep 19, 2019 at 23:32 by Starym
