After the release of patch 7.3.5 will the appearances of the artifacts be obtainable for characters who have just climbed to the maximum level?
Nothing is changing about artifact appearances in 7.3.5. After the Battle for Azeroth launches, you can earn all appearances except the Mage Tower weapon and Mythic Keystone 15 variant. (WarcraftDevs)

This Week in WoW History
We're taking a look back at old MMO-Champion posts and World of Warcraft news that occurred during this time in previous years.

Cataclysm Midnight Launch
The midnight launch event for the third expansion of the game was celebrated around the world. A short clip put together by blizzard shows fans from all over Europe, as North America. The launch event featured live music, cosplayers, and lots of WoW fans.


Subraces in WoW
In 2013 Shoc put together quite a few subrace mockups and shared them on the forums. This Fan Art was received very well by the community, and caught the attention of the Art Director, Chris Robinson. Several years later, Allied Races were announced and they are expected to be added to the game in the near future.


World of Warcraft Global Offensive
Ivan Kuzkin released another WoW Machinima, this time combining the popular FPS game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with World of Warcraft characters. The video featured the famous Dust II map, as the Alliance faction played the role of the Counter-Terrorists, and the Horde playing the role of the Terrorists.



Heroes of the Storm: Need a Light?
A new Hero is coming in January!

    Just say NO to fascism kids! Real heroes wield patriotism
    So leave and never come back? You are free to do so. I sure as heck don't hang around 4chan bitching what a shithole that place is, and I question the sanity of anyone who feels like you do but still comes back.

    You realize the state of ISP/cable company having their own "boundaries" and areas where they can operate is the result of government regulation don't you?

    Also its a monopolistic or oligopoly market. And oh... if you are a supporter of patients you aren't a supporter of free open markets as they create government created monopolies.

    That's the thing though - that law had nothing to do with any of it. You might want to read what its about rather than reading title. It was about censorship, not about ISP speeds. It was about giving FCC ability to silence anyone government disagrees with, without any trial.

    Netflix made fuss about speeds when they didn't get special treatment, not because they were discriminated. They wanted Comcast to house their servers for free, then when Comcast refused to give Netflix special treatment, Netflix started smearing campaign.

    Sheeps bought "net neutrality" bullshit because they can't read beyond clickbait titles.

    Net neutrality was power grab from Obama. That's all it was. Proper net neutrality law would be a good thing, but Obama's clickbait law isn't it.

    Having political statements on MMO-Chamion front page is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen on this website. Though I've been infracted before for disagreeing with crazy brainless lefties here that run this website, so its not a big surprise.

    Holy disinformation batman. So much stuff in your head is screwed up, just don't read comments here you are too far gone. I suggest perusing Fox news or some alt right forum. My word.

    The dude writes with an almost total lack of definite articles- "Netflix made fuss" rather than "Netflix made a fuss", "Net neutrality was power grab" rather than "Net neutrality was a power grab", "It was about giving FCC ability" rather than "It was about giving the FCC the ability" etc etc. Either his English is poor, or he's a second language English speaker. His speech patterns are certainly indicative of Eastern European/Russian origin given the lack of articles in the majority of Slavic languages.

    While that doesn't disqualify him from commenting, it does mean he has no skin in the game and so can happily troll from the sidelines without worrying about how the death of NN will actually impact him. Watching a bunch of Youtube vids linked on Alt-right message boards is always going to give you a warped view of an issue.

    It has nothing to do with this at all

    Everytime I see the word sheep used I know for a fact they are spouting bullshit without any knowledge, You cry about lefties and Obama because you need a boogeyman, you need that person to be afraid of because thats what modern media (Majority right wing media) pushes. They are going to steal your guns, they are going to steal your house, they are going to steal your rights. All the while they are the ones reaching in your pocket.

    Leeroy is symbolic for big businesses transmitting their content first and faster than everyone else.

    Also sad, I thought Leeory wasn't staged as well. This was absolutely believable considering the WoW playerbase, especially on an RP realm 10+ years ago.

    You are still missing the point. Net neutrality as concept is great thing, nobody sane would argue against it. Timeline you linked to has nothing in common with net neutrality law.

    However net neutrality law is a different thing. It has strings attached to it that have nothing to do with net neutrality that allow FCC to censor anyone.

    That's why I call people who support net neutrality law a sheep - they don't read anything other than headlines. Read what net neutrality law is actually about and don't confuse it with net neutrality as concept. Net neutrality concept = good. Net neutrality law = bad because its nothing like concept.

    Yes, you are right. English is my third language, I don't live in US and have no skin in game. That makes me less biased than brainwashed partisan drones. I don't care about left/right, I don't care about democrats/republicans, those are all meaningless concepts to me and I think both sides are equally stupid. I'm not a moron who thinks in binary left/right mode.

    That's why I don't jump on pro-neutrality bandwagon and prefer to figure out what its actually about, unlike millions of idiots who just follow their party's line.

    US (as well as any other country's) politics have no place on MMO site.

    well, i don't like the way that Net.Issues are seen by that legendary movie, because they have 0 points in common.

    Net etiquette is something all of us should try to look into, while Leeroy ... he is gad demn Leeroy! anyway thanks for trying, and i'm saying this as a part of this awareness since ages. there isn't many people left who can say something about x.25 networks, and what lies below the whole tcp/ip traffic and how this is the main idea behind the 'internet' as a project.

    then again Leeroy! :")

    How is it symbolic? o.0 Or was that sarcasm.
    It not like they reshot it and when Leeroy goes to zerg, he lags out and a buffering symbol comes on.

    People here actually bought into the Net Neutrality meme? LMAO. Well, of course you all did.

    Let me guess, you saw a funny yet informative video from a late-night talk show paid for be corporations and mega-monopolies designed to convince you that the other monopolies were the bad guys, is that right? Let's educate you all on something.

    First of all, ISPs are ALREADY ALLOWED to bundle/throttle websites right now, just as long as they don't claim to be neutral. It's literally already been like that according to the FCC's own 'net neutrality' rules put in place awhile back.



    But seriously, why not just read the whole statement by Ajit Pai himself first?

    http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Rele...C-347980A1.pdf

    And further, here are some assurances given by the FCC:

    https://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Rel...C-347927A1.pdf


    Specifically, here, on page 83:
    Many of the largest ISPs (Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, Cox, Frontier, etc.) have committed in this proceeding not to block or throttle legal content. 507 These commitments can be enforced by the FTC under Section 5, protecting consumers without imposing public-utility regulation on ISPs.508
    On page 82:
    The FTC’s unfair-and-deceptive-practices authority “prohibits companies from selling consumers one product or service but providing them something different,” which makes voluntary commitments enforceable. 502 The FTC also requires the “disclos[ur]e [of] material information if not disclosing it would mislead the consumer,” so if an ISP “failed to disclose blocking, throttling, or other practices that would matter to a reasonable consumer, the FTC’s deception authority would apply.”
    And by the way, in case you didn't know, we have a little thing called ANTITRUST LAWS:

    Section 1 of the Sherman Act bars contracts, combinations, or conspiracies in restraint of trade, making anticompetitive arrangements illegal. If ISPs reached agreements to unfairly block, throttle, or discriminate against Internet conduct or applications, these agreements would be per seillegal under the antitrust laws.
    So put down your goddamn pitchforks and stop acting like the fucking world is ending every fucking day. Seriously, grow the fuck up.


    FAQ:

    "B-BUT AJIT PAI IS JUST A STUPID TRUMP SHILL!!!! THAT MEANS HE'S BAD RIGHT??"[

    Actually, Ajit Pai was appointed by one President Barack Obama in 2012.


    That must mean he's a good guy based on your "logic", right?
  1. phren's Avatar
    just don't go for the logic man, they do stuff like this lately, because it's self-focused way to get attention. just like the social media - ppl are famous, not because they achieve something or do actually something, but because there is a video on YT

    and face it - it's cool to talk about something which is socially approved as a dangerous field really appreciate your effort with the links and facts that you provided
