At around 3:00 p.m. PDT today, we will close the Free Character Move service on all realms where it is currently available. In this region, this means that all of the different Free Character Moves av..

A few moments ago, the Earthfury realm was successfully returned to a single layer. This reflects a recent decrease in peak population on that realm, but may lead to occasional, small queues in the ev..

Yes. We do not intend to disable the Wargame function in WoW Classic. We may make some tweaks and adjustments to how it works, of course.

The Black Lotus and Warsong Gulch hotfixes are live in all regions.

With a hotfix that just went live, we’ve made the following update: When using Advanced Combat Logging, the presence of various world buffs (e.g. Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer) will now be consis..

At this time, we’re enabling a second layer for the Arugal and Faerlina realms, in order to alleviate recent, unexpected queues.

Over the last few months, we’ve been accelerating our efforts to deal with certain kinds of cheating that players often call “bots” – the use of automation to play the game in exploitative way..

Please join us on the WoW Classic PTR at 3:00 p.m. PDT / 6:00 p.m. EDT / 11:59 p.m. CEST on Thursday, June 18 for a stress test. In order to prepare for the AQ opening event, we need to test several a..

Hello. I can confirm that this was stuck for some accounts over the weekend, and is now unstuck. Thanks for testing with us!

As part of our ongoing efforts to eliminate exploitative and automated gameplay, with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, we’re implementing the following change to our settings on all WoW ..

We’ve recently completed a round of actions against players who were found to be cheating in World of Warcraft. We rarely communicate publicly about this, because we’ve found that describing our s..

Update 5:00 p.m. PDT June 19 For the next few days, we’ll keep the PTR open as much as we can for AQ 20 testing.

Yes. Emeriss was there too. Lethon consumes your spirits.

Yes! There’s also (for me at least), a very strange sensation when the facts uncovered contradict my clearly faulty memories.

Please join us on June 25, on the WoW Classic PTR for a second stress test. We’ll start heading out to Silithus on the PTR at about 2:00 p.m. PDT, and the stress test will begin at 3:00 p.m. PDT (6:..

Huge thanks to everyone who came out for the stress test today! Before we caused everything to go haywire for fun, we got some great testing done on all of our newer optimizations. We couldn’t have ..

We’re putting the finishing touches on the next patch for WoW Classic. Version 1.13.5 will go live in July. With that patch, we’ll be ready to unlock the content we’ve been testing on the PTR. T..

Overall, the nature-resist gear that was released in original WoW in patch 1.11 was catch-up gear. It was released along with Naxx to help close the gap for guilds who were still dealing with trying t..

Since the launch of WoW Classic, we’ve taken action daily against accounts that were botting, hacking, and selling in-game services for real money. This continual effort has resulted in the average ..

With the upcoming Ahn’Qiraj event in WoW Classic, we’ve seen players discussing transferring to a different server to become the Scarab Lord. We’d like to clarify that there is a 90-day period f..

We have seen accurate reports of the new bag slots not appearing in-game, due to out of date addons. It looks like disabling addons reveals the new bag slots in that case.

I’ve updated the original post for clarity. The additional 4 bag slots are activated by having both an authenticator and Blizzard Phone Notifications enabled on your Battle.net account.

Hello. We take reports like this very seriously. Early this morning, we opened an internal investigation into the matter. While investigating, we overturned the suspension and reached out to the suspe..

Those are profession skill level minimums. Not the amount of materials needed. Some items can be farmed, but for those with professions, they can create or gather.

As some have noticed, we have Breaking News in the Battle.net App for WoW Classic that indicates a two-hour downtime for the content update along with the weekly raid reset tomorrow. We’re changing ..

We checked this and it looks like everything in Silithus has been operating as expected on Bigglesworth.

A hotfix was applied late last night that made it so the Ectoplasmic Distiller quest item would no longer generate threat. We made this change because in patch 1.12, dropping this item applied a buff ..

As we’ve said elsewhere: The reporting system is there to help us combat bad behavior, toxicity, and unfair gameplay. Attempts to trick or defraud a Game Master or abusing the system will result in ..

We’ve seen reports that on some realms, players appear to be disrupting those who are working on the Green Scepter Shard portion of the Scepter of the Shifting Sands questline. Specifically, by brin..

Currently watching along on Earthfury:

Since the launch of WoW Classic 12 months ago, we’ve been looking forward to this day with many of you. We watched along this morning as intrepid adventurers on five realms in this region completed ..

Correct! We caught this bug as soon as we saw it on the first realm in China last night. We deployed a hotfix for it earlier, so all AQ raiders in the Americas and Europe will see the encounter start ..

Congratulations to the first guilds to kill C’Thun in this region: Guild Realm Time Onslaught Skeram 20:08 PDT Fusion Incendius 20:31 PDT Rise Netherwind 20:43 PDT Very impressive!

Good morning! There are competing theories about what happened. One is that Saurfang overslept. Another has to do with the gates on Pagle having particularly stuck hinges. Nonetheless, we think it’s..

Not a Blizzard bias. It’s the priest in me. Sorry about that. It was added shortly after noticing the Paladin set was missing in the listing yesterday.

No, you cannot transfer Silithid Carapace Fragments to another realm. You can give them away, sell them on the Auction House, or turn them in for reputation with the Brood of Nozdormu before transferr..

We checked against our reference client and it confirmed what others are saying here: Frost wands are supposed to work, and we found the offending line of code (introduced in 2008!) and fixed it. Than..

On Monday, August 17, the World of Warcraft forums will be taken offline for maintenance and updates, starting at 6:00 a.m. PDT (9:00 a.m. EDT). For about two hours, the WoW forums will be in read-onl..

Glad to hear it! I also had a great time. I’m somewhat fortunate that my own realm was late to open our gates, so that I actually had a chance to participate. (I was working during the initial gate ..

Over the weeks since several high-population realms were configured to allow two layers, and therefore twice as many concurrent players, we’ve carefully observed and tracked the player populations o..

All temporary character transfer restrictions have been removed.

I’m also going to hop on the WoW Classic birthday hype train and give a heart-felt THANK YOU to all of our players for making WoW Classic such an incredible project to be a part of. Thanks for being..

Hello! Observant players on realms that are currently in the resource-gathering stage of the War Effort noticed a bug, and are correct. The automatic turn-ins are just now getting started on some real..
