World of Warcraft Gives Players Another Chance to Get a Beloved Mount

World of Warcraft just announced the plans for its public alpha testing period for The War Within, with the first public build going live on April 18. Each week after that, new parts of the next World of Warcraft expansion will be available to test for players lucky enough to receive an invitation.

A new sidequest in World of Warcraft gives fans a choice that actually influences the game world in a tangible way. Though it is a small detail, this Patch 10.2.7 sidequest allows World of Warcraft players to physically shape Azeroth by deciding where a grave marker will permanently appear in the game.

World of Warcraft quietly removed a part of the WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria announcement that said it was adding new character slots to each player’s account. While this likely won’t affect many fans, those who already have 60 characters on their World of Warcraft account might want to make room before Patch 10.2.7 launches.

World of Warcraft recently confirmed that the Taivan mount will be returning to his full size soon. Though his sudden shrinking caused no amount of confusion and shock among World of Warcraft players, they can rest easy knowing the good boy will be re-embiggened in Patch 10.2.7.

World of Warcraft is working on fixing the Primal Storms event spawns, but the fix might take a short time to implement. Once this issue is resolved, World of Warcraft fans should be able to earn the achievements associated with the Primal Storms much more easily.

Hunter players in World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery can obtain a special item that lets them tame Core Hounds in Phase 3. Though fans could tame these fiery beasts in retail World of Warcraft for a while, this is the first time Hunters have been able to get one in Classic Era.

World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery’s new Nightmare Incursions PvE event uses some old assets from the game’s original Emerald Dream zone idea. After nearly two decades, these old World of Warcraft items are finally getting the chance to see the light of day in Classic Season of Discovery Phase 3.

World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 3’s new Sunken Temple raid is extremely challenging, having walled players with its difficulty far longer than any other in Classic history. For the first time in World of Warcraft, a Classic raid hasn’t been conquered in a matter of hours, making the Sunken Temple one of the hardest raids in it to date.

World of Warcraft Classic just shared a short video previewing the Sunken Temple raid in Season of Discovery Phase 3. This 20-player version of the infamous World of Warcraft dungeon is available in Season of Discovery Phase 3 right now.

World of Warcraft just buffed the drop chance for the Noble Flying Carpet mount from the Noblegarden event. From now until the event ends on April 8, fans have a better chance of looting this rare World of Warcraft mount, with an even higher chance on the first kill of the day.

A Drake’s Big Basket of Eggs, a World of Warcraft toy added to Noblegarden last year, now works with Dracthyr, allowing the characters to carry the basket in their mouths just like their Dragonriding mounts. This hilarious and adorable interaction was made possible thanks to changes to the Dracthyr Soar racial ability in a previous World of Warcraft patch.

The new Duck Disguiser toy added to the Noblegarden event in World of Warcraft takes six years to get all of its color variations. This bizarre unlock process is not account-wide, causing no small amount of frustration among World of Warcraft players.
