Blizzard has now made the wow token available in Classic Wrath of the Lich King. With this, you will be able to use real money to purchase in-game currency. This came as somewhat of a shock to the community because it wasn’t announced ahead of time.

The WoW Token is now available in Wrath of the Lich King Classic™. This in-game item is a great way to exchange gold for game time in a convenient and secure way.
Please keep in mind that WoW Tokens cannot be transferred between World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic* and World of Warcraft. Certain restrictions apply. Visit our Support article for more details.
* Not available in World of Warcraft® Classic Era.
Yesterday, we opened up region-wide PvP matchmaking for Oceanic players, to ensure that all players in this region who compete for rewards actually play against one another. Following that update, however, we heard loud and clear from players who know how it feels to play on distant servers. High latency is not worth the upsides of potentially smoother matchmaking.
With weekly maintenance on Tuesday, June 1 (10:00 p.m. AWST, Midnight AEST, 2:00 a.m. June 2 NZDT), we will revert this change.
We’re committed to providing a responsive, enjoyable game to players in every part of the world, and we will pay careful attention to PvP on Oceanic realms over the first few weeks of the first season of Arena play. We’re looking for ways to improve matchmaking and players’ ability to rank up without introducing unbearable lag.
We don’t want to permanently implement a region-wide rewards system where some of the players never play against the others. We’ll have an update on that for you in the weeks to come.
Today, we’ve opened the WoW Classic Public Test Realm (PTR) to test version 1.13.7 of WoW Classic. In this upcoming version, we intend to reduce the spell batching delay.
There are numerous class abilities and spells from Original World of Warcraft that were re-implemented in WoW Classic with spell batching in mind, and we initially expect bugs or adverse consequences with spell batching reduced. In this PTR, testers have an opportunity to join us in finding such issues. Raids and battlegrounds are available in this PTR to facilitate testing in a wide variety of game content.
Initially, the spell batch window is set to 10 milliseconds on the 1.13.7 PTR, a reduction from the 1.13.6 live window of 400 milliseconds.
Please use the in-game bug reporter (default hotkey: mouseover+F6) in the PTR to submit your bug reports or feedback on abilities with spell batching reduced.
When logged into the PTR, you can mouse over any item, spell, or talent and press the assigned hotkey to initiate a bug report for that item or spell. Bug reports created in this way include valuable metadata about the spell, your talents, and your player-state when the bug is submitted.
If you’ve unbound your “Open Bug Report” hotkey, you can rebind it in Keybindings -> PTR.
Hey guys! I’ve added a new section for attunements, if you are having trouble figuring out how to get attuned for the different raids check it out in the menu!
I’ve added Molten Core, Onyxia and Blackwing lair.
Have you ever played the Arena in Hearthstone? You build a whole deck by picking one card from a couple and then you play against other people. The game shows you three cards, then you pick the one you want and it gets added to your deck. When you have 30, your done and you go play against other people. It’s draft mode.
Ascension just did that with Classic WoW.
If you’ve never heard of Project Ascension, their claim to fame has been their slogan of ‘create your own class’. Well, they’re delivering on that pretty interesting this time. Instead of picking all your abilities like normal, or getting them assigned randomly like last season, Ascension is introducing this playstyle where instead of picking all your abilities, you draft three, and pick one. What you draft is random, but you still get to choose. So maybe you get lucky and draft a few good combo abilities like shadowbolt shadowform and mind flay, and then next thing you know the best thing you can grab is mortal strike. Sure, you get a few reroll scrolls to fine tune it, but it actually seems pretty fun to draft a whole hero to 60 and then see how good you can make it.
Their season 5 video they posted up on youtube is like 20 minutes long just because of how much stuff they’re doing with it. Draft mode is kind of the main thing, but they’re also doing ironman, x1 exp rates, and legion invasions (TBC coming soon I guess?). They even put in 1v1 arenas where you can win your opponent’s gear.
I’ve said it before, but Ascension is pretty much WoW plus. It’s familiar but different, and it feels like it breathes new life in a game that by this point we’ve all played to death.
Season 5 releases November 8th, but their last season is still running until that happens. It’s worth jumping into for an afternoon.
Hello everyone. We wanted to return to this subject and put some closure on it. As always, It is our top priority to resolve any issues that prevent players from having a smooth gameplay experience.
Immediately after the Distributed Denial of Service attacks against our game service began, the Blizzard Security Team worked around the clock with local and international law enforcement agencies to track down the source of the DDoS. It is our understanding that, within a few days, authorities were able to successfully identify and arrest a suspect.
We really appreciate your patience and understanding.
As we previously announced, free character moves will become available in this region very soon. When these free character moves open, player-characters at any level will be able to move:
From -> To
Arugal -> Felstriker
Faerlina -> Heartseeker (new realm)
Stalagg -> Heartseeker (new realm)
Herod -> Earthfury (new realm)
Skeram -> Earthfury (new realm)
Incendius -> Netherwind
Thalnos -> Netherwind
Fairbanks -> Arcanite Reaper (new realm)
Whitemane -> Arcanite Reaper (new realm)
Bigglesworth -> Anathema
Pagle -> Windseeker
Grobbulus -> Deviate Delight
For approximately one day, the new realms will be restricted to only those players using a free character move. After one day, any player may create new characters there. This is to allow players using the free character move service a better chance at retaining the name of the character they’re moving.
We will let you know when the new realms open and free character moves are enabled.
With hotfixes that we are currently deploying to all WoW Classic realms, we are substantially increasing the number of players that can be simultaneously logged in and playing. We expect this to result in smaller queues for realms that have large queues, and some realms should no longer have queues at all.
We will closely monitor performance and stability throughout this process.
