Zul'Gurub Opens April 15

We’re pleased to announce that our next WoW Classic content unlock will occur at the same time on all NA realms: 3:00 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, April 15. (EU realms: 12:01 a.m. CEST on Thursday, April 16)

Zul’Gurub
Hidden in the jungles of Stranglethorn, an ancient Troll city full of peril has been uncovered. Do you have what it takes to delve into its mysteries with a band of hardy explorers? There’s only one way to find out! Zul’Gurub is a high-level, 20-person raid instance with 120 new rare and epic items to uncover. Adventure awaits!

Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza
The Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza is a grand new event set along the coasts of Stranglethorn Vale. Early on the appointed day, friendly neighborhood goblins will visit Ironforge and Orgrimmar to inform aspiring anglers of the grand tournament and give instructions. At the appropriate time, the shout will ring out across Stranglethorn to bait your hooks and cast your lines!

The Dragons of Nightmare
Something is amiss in the Emerald Dream. Immense dragons with the shimmering emerald scales of the Green Dragonflight have been sighted guarding the portals at the Great Trees. These once-noble creatures crawl with a new, strange menace, not the peace for which Ysera is known. Bring many allies should you dare to confront them; their powers are formidable and they will not hesitate to crush any who draw near.

The Stirring of the Silithid
The arid sands of Silithus are shifting. Something is awakening beyond the wall to the south. Aid the Druids of the Cenarion Circle as they delve into the mysteries of the desert. Seek answers behind the Twilight Hammer’s presence. Discover more about the alien creatures known as the Silithid as you explore their hives. Many new endeavors await the high-level adventurer!

Prepare yourselves!

Ny'alotha Hall of Fame Closed

A few hours ago, the 100-guild threshold was crossed for both factions to complete Ny’alotha on Mythic Difficulty and earn their place in the Hall of Fame.

Raiders have until scheduled weekly maintenance (a.m. Tuesday April 21 in this region) to claim their spot!

With the weekly reset, Mythic Ny’alotha will become available to cross-realm groups.

Neon Art - Legendary Weapons
Ambear has made some amazing neon art inspired from World of Warcraft legendary weapons such as Frostmourne, Ashbringer, Warglaives of Azzinoth and many others.

... I would love to hang that neon Ashbringer on my wall.

Will Zul'Gurub be releasing with the legendary version of Corrupted Blood?

that neon art is awesome.

[A Princess From Norway]

But most of these weapons aren't legendary :P

They've said before no. That was long since patch after it came out and definitely by the Naxx patch.

[Metallan]

I feel bad for poor Atiesh. Everyone forgets about Atiesh.

[Mrbleedinggums]

But most of these weapons aren't legendary :P

Legendary from lore standpoint, not gameplay.

[Jasper Kazai]

Hey, Alliance managed to hit 100 just one day shy of a month after Horde this time. The gap is closing!
It's still a ridiculous discrepancy, and ridiculous that they try to do nothing about it.

It's a player-created problem, just like overpopulation on classic realms. What do you want Blizzard to do, stop creation of Horde characters?

[TuhoCthun]

Frostmourne, Ashbringer, Gorehowl, Sulfuras, Azzinoth, Ashkandi, Doomhammer.

...as the other guy said...do what about it? I mean..don't tell me it is OP racials that make raidguilds go Horde?

Now imagine if we still had Shaman Horde only and Paladin Alliance only. Oh the discussion that this is what makes and breaks world first raiding

I agree, there isn't much that can be done at this point. Making Alliance racials more appealing (somehow) and offering incentives for some top guilds to faction change would be nice. Maybe invent a time machine and make changes before it got out of hand.

But I'm talking about something even more basic - change the 100 guild from both factions requirement to, for example, 150 guilds total, faction agnostic. Cross-realm would've opened up like 20 days earlier.
