    Lightsabers Return to Azeroth
    A recent hotfix gives many of the Orgrimmar and Stormwind guards red and blue lightsabers, or as close as you can get in WoW!



    WoW Alpha Update
    A entry for version 8.0.1.25703 of wow_alpha was added to the launcher. This is probably just another step towards a beta next year.

    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.

    War Games
    The start of Arena Season 9 brought the War Games feature to WoW. This new Arena and Battleground mode is a custom game which allows players to battle it out against another group. During these skirmishes no achievements, rankings, or stats are recorder, because they are meant to just be a fun feature allowing players to challenge and fight against each other. Perhaps the most common format to rise is the 5v5 1v1s, where two teams of five people take turns dueling until there is only one team standing.


    Blizzard World of Color
    The 2011 Blizzard holiday party was hosted at California Adventure, and the company delivered a special surprise. A Blizzard themed light show featured clips from Starcraft II, Diablo III, and World of Warcraft. Each show had a small comic bit followed by a trailer projected on the famous World of Color water fountain.


    Reaper of Souls
    Closed beta for Diablo III: Reaper of Souls opened, allowing players to opt into beta testing through their Battle.Net page for a chance at an invite. This was the first expansion pack for Diablo III, which was revealed at Gamescom in 2013.


    Highmaul Mythic Race
    Imperator Mar’gok managed to live 5 days before being defeated by Paragon. Imperator Mar’gok’s secret phase brought back Cho’gall, who was defeated in the Bastion of Twilight during the Cataclysm.


    Legion PvP Overhaul
    Legion brought numerous changes to the PvP system, in an attempt to make it feel more rewarding. The most notable change was the addition of Honor Levels and Honor Talents. This new talent tree can be unlocked through doing PvP content that rewards Honor. These talents are only usable in PvP combat, however after unlocking all of them players could still advance their Honor Level to gain additional Prestige Levels unlocking cosmetic rewards. Along with the new system, two new arena maps were also introduced into the map pool.

    And failed miserably, to the point where it's never felt less rewarding than it does now.

    But Paragon didn't get world first Highmaul by killing Mar'gok. They got it by killing butcher after they killed Mar'gok.

    All those in the race agreed that Paragon got world first by beating Mar'gok/Cho'gall. Butcher was not relevent at all.

    Well the option to launch 32 bit hasn't been there for me in Battle.net for a while so I imagine they might be.

    Doesn't matter, world first is the first one to clear the raid, not kill the final boss.

    "Glowing Gift is also new this year, with no listed source."

    I recieved this in the box from either "You're a mean one" or the followup quest. Can't remember which one.

    in Hm butcher, tectus, and brackenspore were basicly optional bosses. Only kargath ,twin ogron and ko'ragh were required to do to acces the final boss.

    "Highmaul was the first Mythic raid to feature the new 20 man raid size." I'm like 99.999% sure SoO had Mythic after the pre-patch changes.

    Or because they don't manage to tag it either.

    Oh that's cool. Add a pet to a snowglobe in major cities with a fucking 30 minute cooldown that's guaranteed to be camped to shit. Great idea, Blizzard. Bravo.
