Read moreGreetings, Warlocks.
As several of you have noted, some of your demons have had their long-standing names lost with the new demon customization coming in Fractures in Time. We’re working on a fix for this, but we want to be clear on what you can expect when the patch goes live.
Once the patch is live in your region, we’re disabling several glyphs that previously were the only means of customizing your demon appearances. When you log in for the first time, your demon may no longer be summoned, and you will have to summon t...
Read moreWorking from player feedback and internal data, we’ve developed the following class tuning changes to address several over- and under-performing classes. These adjustments will be applied to the live game with scheduled weekly maintenance on Tuesday, June 27 in this region.

Read moreWith today’s new build of the Fractures in Time PTR, we’ve made the following updates.
After several rounds of updates to the Fire and Frost talent trees, each tree has seen a significant boost in power, which in turn has put their overall throughput quite a bit higher than their live counterparts. While some gain in power is to be expected due to these changes, their current tuning has them quite a bit higher than we intend. Due to this, in the latest build we’re reducing the damage of many of their spells to get us a better baseline to work from for the two specs. This should make it easier for us to continue to iterate on tuning based on internal and external testing as the Fractures in Time PTR continues to develop.
The intent with these tuning changes is not to disrupt the current flow, playstyles, or talent builds that have arisen with the updates but rather keep the relative balance and breakdown of abilities similar as the are now but with just a bit less output.
As many players have noted, yesterday’s hotfixes included a reduction to Scalecommander Sarkareth’s Oblivion on Mythic difficulty that resulted in a much bigger reduction than we originally intended.
After deliberating this, we’ve decided to stick with the actual value that has now been live in the game since that hotfix.
We apologize for any confusion this caused.
We hotfixed this issue a few minutes ago, and Ice Armor should no longer fall off when players have either rank 1 or rank 2 of Frost Warding.
Today, we’ve lifted transfer restrictions to the largest Wrath Classic realms.
Player-characters may now be transferred to realms such as Benediction and Grobbulus.
For more information, please see our Character Transfer Information and Restrictions support article.
We’ve just deployed a hotfix for this issue.
Please note that the fix will not apply to any instance that was already started.
We’re aware of and working on this bug.
We don’t yet have an ETA for a fix, and will provide a further update when we do.
Thank you!

As we continue to monitor class performance in instanced group content as well as PvP, we regularly adjust classes that are over- or under-performing. Based on recent data, observations, and feedback from players, we intend to make the following adjustments during scheduled weekly maintenance (on June 6 in this region).
Death Knight
Druid
In order to address issues impacting the game service, we’ve temporarily closed Black Temple.
We intend to deploy fixes for it and then re-open the instance during scheduled weekly maintenance (on Tuesday, June 6 in this region).
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
A little while ago, the fix was deployed for this. Upon login, the game will now award the missing Arena points to player-characters who did not receive them.
This fix may not be apparent to player-characters who have been logged in for the last hour or more. Because of caching, those player-characters may need to stay logged out for several minutes before logging back in will pick up the Arena points.
Thank you!
We are aware of an issue where players are receiving Honor Points instead of Arena Points.
We’re working on a fix that will award the missing Arena Points.
Today, members of the WoW Community Council met with Classic devs to talk about the development of current content in Wrath Classic, as both a retrospective on Ulduar and a look forward to the Call of the Crusade.
Please feel free to continue the discussion here, and ask any follow-up questions that you might have.
With how close we are to the start of the season, we do not want to have these feel required for those still progressing or competing in the top tier content. They will be disabled in instanced content throughout the game.
Greetings.
We want to take a moment to talk about WoW Token in Wrath of the Lich King Classic.
The best way to start is to simply say that this wasn’t something we arrived at lightly. For the entirety of Classic so far, the WoW Classic team has been very resistant to the idea of adding WoW Token to any form of Classic in the Western regions (NA and EU). When WoW Classic started in 2019, adding something like token felt unimaginable to us, and that continued to be true for us–even late into Burning Crusade Classic–for a few reasons:
Just want to note that this fix becomes effective after you use the trinket one more time at the Oathstone of your choice.
