After four years of gathering online–adventuring through Azeroth, teaming up in Overwatch, traversing the fields of Sanctuary, or warming yourself by the fire in the Tavern–it’s finally time to gather in person once more. We are happy to announce that BlizzCon will be returning to the Anaheim Convention Center on November 3-4!

Our players are at the heart of what makes BlizzCon great–a place where games are the common ground for connection and friendship. Whether you’re coming to hang out with friends you only ever get to see online, celebrating epic moments in the games we love, exploring what’s on offer in the convention center halls, or eager to learn what’s next for our universes, BlizzCon is being created for you. It’s the community that has always made this event so special, and we can’t wait to see you all again.

We’ll be back with more details about the show next month, including ticketing information, cosplay and other competition details, and mor...

Each week we’ll look ahead to what’s in store for World of Warcraft, share the latest news, and keep you in the know byte by byte.  The Wrath Classic PvP Season is winding down and ends at the end of the month. Do you have what it takes to finish strong?

Wrath of the Lich King Classic Season 6 Ends May 29

The second Wrath Classic PvP season will end at 10:00 p.m. PDT (1:00 a.m. EDT) on May 29.

During maintenance on May 30, Arena Point costs for Season 6 gear will be reduced, and rating requirements will be removed for most items, though will still be required for elite weapons. During the offseason, all ranked Arena play will be unavailable. Once Arena Season 7 begins, Arena Points will be converted to Honor.

Good luck on a strong finish!

It’s time to give back to the children of Azeroth during Children’s Week! Take an orphan under your wing and show them the wonders of the world.

Throughout the year, the orphans of Azeroth spend much of their time wandering their home cities, dreaming of the day they’ll be old enough (and big enough) to go out into the world to experience the adventures and marvels they’ve missed as children. During Children’s Week, the giving souls of the Horde and the Alliance can help make those dreams come true.

Also, you can earn even more Trader's Tender while completing select activities with your little protégé.

Traveling with orphans is now easier than ever! All orphans (except Wolvar and Oracle) now have their own mounts, making it all that much easier to show them the wonders of Azeroth.

Overview

New items are in full bloom at the Trading Post for the month of May. You’re bound to find something new to add to your collection.
