PvP Brawl - Warsong Scramble
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Just like Random Battlegrounds, you’ll receive a reward for achieving victory.

Warsong Scramble – Capture the Flag
Do you have a flag? Warsong Gulch has always been the scene of an epic Capture the Flag battle, but what happens when you can capture your enemy’s flag without your own at base? Find out when you step into this PvP Brawl! We’ve also added a few more power-ups to the field of battle to stir things up a bit. To win, your team will need to be the first to capture 5 flags.

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.

7.3.5 PTR - Mythic Plus Battle Resurrections
Combat resurrections in Mythic+ dungeons in Patch 7.3.5 will function similarly to the way they currently do in raids.

  • Combat resurrections start with 1 charge for the group and gain a new charge every 10 minutes.
  • Raise Ally, Rebirth, Soulstone and Hunter battle resurrections all share the same charges.
  • You can accumulate a total of 5 charges at a time, however, it would take 40 minutes to reach this point.



7.3.5 PTR - Ogmot Journal
Ogmot the Mad is a new rare elite ogre in Silithus that drops Ogmot's Dream Journal. This journal contains 10 pages that detail the events of a nameless person who deals with the whispers of the Old Gods. The drop was originally discovered by wilder_people!
