The story so far

The 2019 Arena World Championship Summer Finals is nearly here. Teams from all across America and Europe have battled over two seasons for their chance to qualify for the AWC Global Finals—an event every top Arena competitor aspires to attend. There are only two ways to qualify at this point in the year, being the first AWC Point earner from your region or placing first or second at the Summer Finals.

Everything these teams have worked for all comes down to this event and the points they’ve earned in the Summer Season will award them seeding into the following bracket. MeowMeowKittyCatz, Method Orange, Diabolus, Team Prismatic (formally Change My Mind), and Wildcard Gaming all require at least a 2nd place finish at the Summer Finals to guarantee a spot at BlizzCon 2019. Every single team entering the tournament is equipped with tournament veterans and even some previous BlizzCon Champions. You won’t want to miss...

There are various modes of mass transit available to those looking to get around Azeroth. While can gain access to a mount at level 40, collecting enough gold to train the skill and purchase a mount can be an endeavor.

We’ve pulled together some information on each of these to help you make the most of your time in WoW® Classic.

Playing with friends when your characters are different levels is now easier than ever with Party Sync.

If you’d like to play WoW with your friends without having to worry about whether your characters’ levels are too far apart, the new Party Sync feature is for you!

Relive Azeroth’s History Together

When players activate Party Sync, everyone in the party becomes aligned to the same quest state and phase.
