Patch 6.0.2: The Iron Tide Crashes into Azeroth October 14
Less than a week remains to finish everything that is changing in Patch 6.0.2!

Featuring new content heralding the Iron Horde incursion, updates to the skills and abilities for every class, and a host of gameplay adjustments, this overture to Warlords of Draenor is coming at you armed to the teeth.

Treacherous Developments
The Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands has turned blood red. Hundreds of strange-looking orcs are violently pouring into Azeroth, killing everything that stands in their path. Nethergarde and Okril’lon have already fallen, and while the Horde and the Alliance moved as quickly as they could to get reinforcements to their people, they are too late. The Iron Horde invasion has begun.

In this desperate hour, King Wrynn and Warchief Vol’jin have called upon their greatest champions to join the front lines in the Blasted Lands and do whatever they can to stop the Iron Horde . . . before the rest of Azeroth falls before them.

Word of this surprise attack sends players rushing to the Blasted Lands to reckon with the barbarous infiltration. After the fall of a high ranking Iron Horde general named Gar’mak Bladetwist, you’ll report what you’ve witnessed in the Blasted Lands to King Wrynn or Warchief Vol’jin. It’s apparent to both the Horde and the Alliance that this is only the first salvo in a much larger conflict, and the only way to win is to take the fight directly to the Iron Horde . . . by journeying through the Dark Portal into Draenor.

The Infiltration of Blackrock Spire
An advance party of Iron Horde forces has barged right out of the Blasted Lands and pushed all the way to Blackrock Mountain, where they found refuge and supplies in Upper Blackrock Spire. There can be only one response: the Alliance and the Horde of Azeroth must face this iron incursion head on.

Available to level-90 characters for a limited time, this specially revamped five-player version of Upper Blackrock Spire sets the stage for the coming counterstrike against the Iron Horde. Here, you will face Orebender Gor'ashan, Kyrak, and Commander Tharbek as you begin to take the fight to the enemy and sharpen the skills—and swords—you’ll need to succeed on an unwelcoming alien world.

Prepare yourself. Draenor is waiting.

    "Warchief Vol'jin". Sylvannas was right, that does sound a bit off.

    Before TBC, Illidan told us we were not prepared.

    Now: "Prepare yourselves."

    Are the Keys to the Palace of Lei Shen still going to be usable or will they become vendor trash? I know you can't get any more keys ever again but I'm just wondering if I need to hurry up and use all the keys I have saved up on my alts.

    I have to agree with you for once. When I read that it just seemed so off.

    Sadly, I'm not sure you'll get that interesting happening with this poorly done fan fiction, time travel story but look at it this way. After 14 months of nothing for $15 a month, gamers will take whatever they can get.

    It is 550 and can't be upgraded, so if you have upgraded flex gear you won't need any of it most likely.
