If you’ve been hoping to play, for instance, a Dark Iron Dwarf, you will be able to IF you own a copy of the World of Warcraft expansion, Battle for Azeroth. The information came through datamined strings of code that indicate the game will make several checks at character creation. This includes whether or not BfA is part of your game client and whether or not you have the Allied Race Unlock achievement for the race you would like to make your character.

With a half dozen guilds at 10/11 in the hunt for the world first kill of the Antorus raid final boss, Method has dinged the bell only hours after the World of Warcraft server reset. This brings the hunt for the world first raid clear to an end a scant week after it was released, and six days after Method reached Argus.

One of the world’s top guilds that is currently in the race for a World of Warcraft world first Argus kill is in the midst of a major controversy. It appears that Adois, one of the guild’s accomplished healers, wanted to ensure his team raid spot. In order to secure it, Adois sent spoof links to other guild healers that then started a DDOS sequence to force the healers offline.

With Antorus as the final World of Warcraft: Legion raid, many progression guilds seeking the “world first” clear are jetting through at an unprecedented pace. Antorus launched in North America on Tuesday and in Europe on Wednesday. Two guilds, Limit & Exorsus, are 9/11, while Method has pulled ahead to 10/11. Many others sit at 6/11. The final boss is always the most difficult, of course, but it’s disappointing to see such a large raid cleared so quickly.

Blizzard has launched an early warning to Mythic raiders on the eve of the opening of the Antorus raid in World of Warcraft. Mythic raiders are being reminded that any players selling raid clears for real world cash, account sharing by raid teams and the use of any other exploits to gain an advantage in the “race for the World First” will be met with harsh punishment.

When patch 7.3.5 landed on the World of Warcraft PTR, the datamining began. WoWhead and MMO-Champion have gone to town and pulled out some pretty cool information about the Allied Races including skin colors, racial mounts, conversation lines, hairstyles, body types, faces and more. In addition, a number of story spoilers have been datamined, so when heading over, go with that in mind. Find the links after the jump!

The time is almost at hand to take care of the Burning Legion once and for all in World of Warcraft. The Antorus raid will be opening beginning on November 28th starting with Normal and Heroic versions. Mythic Antorus will kick off on December 6th as well as Raid Finder Wing 1: Light’s Breach. Raid Finder Wing 2 (Forbidden Descent) will open on December 20th; Wing 3: Hope’s End (January 3rd) and Wing 4: Seat of the Pantheon (January 17th).

In celebration of the thirteenth anniversary of the launch of World of Warcraft, Blizzard has raided the Old Bosses’ Home to trot out a number of old favorites for players to take on. These old geezers ain’t toothless either. Each of them has been updated to Legion’s level for the event and can drop iLevel 900 gear.
