This changes everything. The 'Toy Box' is one of my favorite new features in World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor, and once it's implemented, it'll free up so much bag space. Similarly to mounts, it'll be a collection tab for all the non-combat vanity items, and we'll no longer have to keep them in our inventory. » 7/18/14 8:30am Friday 8:30am

It's pretty impressive to survive 30 or 40 waves of enemies in the Proving Grounds, a World of Warcraft scenario where you can test your raiding abilities by facing enemies that get stronger with each wave. So the fact that frost mage Akuyama reached wave 138 and set a new world record is incredible. » 7/14/14 9:20am 7/14/14 9:20am

It's an established tradition that whenever a new World of Warcraft expansion comes out, some classic dungeons get a redesign. After Scholomance and The Scarlet Monastery it's time for a new Upper Blackrock Spire (UBRS), an awesome old dungeon that—among other things—became famous for Leeeeeeeroy Jenkins. » 7/09/14 9:20am 7/09/14 9:20am

Still no news on when we can finally name our mounts in World of Warcraft, but that doesn't mean there can be no cool additions to the UI. One of these are some pretty cool brief descriptions of all the mounts in the game. » 7/03/14 9:40am 7/03/14 9:40am

Blizzard is continuing the process of sprucing up the visuals of the ageing World of Warcraft, and the next race to have their facelift shown off are the humans. Who now look like Homo sapiens, rather than Homo neanderthalensis. » 6/25/14 9:40pm 6/25/14 9:40pm

Not everyone sells epic mounts and top-tier PvP gear in Azeroth. Some NPCs just stand in the middle of busy cities, and besides getting one or two pointless items from them, their presence is absolutely pointless. Wowcrendor collected ten of the most useless ones in his latest video. » 6/02/14 7:40am 6/02/14 7:40am

Sometimes in our workaday life, we get dragged down by the little things in life — the humdrum of it all. We often forget that there's a sublime universe of limitless icons out there. » 5/28/14 5:30pm 5/28/14 5:30pm

Digital cities can be abandoned and deserted, just like real-world ones—and World of Warcraft is a prime example of this phenomenon, thanks to its many expansions. » 4/25/14 7:30pm 4/25/14 7:30pm

Courtesy of Blizzard, here's a look at what the Tauren will look, move and act like in World of Warcraft's new expansion-slash-graphical-update, Warlords of Draenor. » 4/08/14 4:30am 4/08/14 4:30am

Sponsored by the game Watch Dogs, the folks at RatedRR explain how you can hack into anything in real life—from cameras to AC units to smart power outlets to wireless LED lights—to use those home devices as remote bomb detonators. And of course, their demonstration includes actual bombs and explosions for your… » 4/01/14 2:55pm 4/01/14 2:55pm

Remember that one seasonal quest in World of Warcraft, where you have to find someone playing with a dwarven female character? It took ages. Blizzard's new render of the character model looks really good (though it would be even better with beards). It'll hopefully spawn more of them. » 3/21/14 9:30am 3/21/14 9:30am

What would Thrall, Jaina and the average NPCs of World of Warcraft do on their imaginary YouTube channels? SlightlyImpressive shows us—with some amazing voice acting—that they would handle it pretty well. » 2/24/14 9:40am 2/24/14 9:40am

Who said World of Warcraft was dying? For the first time in a long time, the game's playerbase has stopped the rot, going from 7.6 million user last year to 7.8 today. » 2/06/14 6:06pm 2/06/14 6:06pm
