Do you find yourself looking at World of Warcraft wiki pages with an inner sigh at their length and complexity?

If so, WoWLoreTLDR.com may be just the place for you! The page summarizes WoW’s lore in 80-word chunks and follows the timeline as presented in the Chronicle books.

Blizzard has taken aim, fired and closed another ‘private’ server called Felmyst. The server opened mere days ago, dedicated to WoW through The Burning Crusade.

A new armor has been datamined from the current World of Warcraft version sitting on the PTR. The new set is called Kul Tiras, the location once ruled by Admiral Daelin Proudmoore during the Second War.

During a recent interview with Ion Hazzikostas, more information was revealed about the forthcoming World of Warcraft “Invasion Points”. These single-player Invasion Points will require special riftstone keys that can be found on Argus. They are used in special portals to literally travel to other Legion-dominated locations to take on the demon forces. Icy-Veins took that information and datamined the types of places players will travel to.
