Ohn'ahran Plains
Ohn'ahran Plains

On your continuing adventures through Dragonflight and the Dragon Isles, you’ll step foot into the Ohn’ahran Plains.

Named after the Wild God of the Wind, Ohn'ahra, it's a viridescent grassland that rise gently upward from the Waking Shores, with mellow hills and steppes worn smooth by wind and river. This region boasts prominent and dramatic elevations that become more mountainous, and geysers are alive with erupting columns of boiling steam.

Travel the Ohn'ahran Plains with the new zone music track by Jeff Lefkowitz.

Once home to the green dragonflight, nature thrives in the Ohn'ahran Plains. Magnificent, lush greenery abounds, and calm waters flow thro...

Greetings,

The week of November 22 will be the last week that new loot options will become available in the Shadowlands Great Vault. Players will be able to collect their final reward, including any items from previously unclaimed weeks, until Monday November 28 at 3 p.m. PST. After this time, any remaining loot will be lost.

We’ll see you in Dragonflight!

UPDATED NOVEMBER 8: Corrected and expanded information on Newcomer Chat limits for Dragonflight.

Dragonflight is just around the corner. A new expansion presents a unique opportunity to start your adventures in World of Warcraft, check the new expansion out, or bring new friends to Azeroth. Available to both veteran players and new, the introductory excursion to Exile's Reach is a great way to begin forging your path through the world. Here's everything you need to start your journey.

An expedition has gone missing, and you have been called to be a part of a new crew of novice adventurers charged with discovering what’s become of them. As with many such journeys, you’ll find yourself as part of a crew aboard a ship bound to their last known location. When things take a turn...

The Waking Shores are the beginning of your adventures as you take your first steps into the Dragon Isles. Help your allies push back against enemies, new and old, who are bent on controlling this ancient place of elemental power.

The dragonflights left their homeland and the Waking Shores remained dormant for ten thousand years. With Azeroth's world-soul revitalized, the awesome primal might of the Shores stirs anew, rousing the dragons' ancient allies and age-old enemies from their long millennia of slumber.

This land is stirring with the reawakening of elemental energies. Long ago, the elements were present in their most primal, unfettered form; however, the resurgence of magic in the Dragon Isles has caused that energy to reawaken.

Geysers and hot springs are commonplace, and powerful streams and rivers carve grottoes into the colorful rocks and sediment. Waterways feed into the land's heart and the Life Pools of the red dragonfligh...

Having shown Emberthal the rise and fall of the Aspects, Nozdormu takes her on a final journey to confront her forgotten memories and reveal the last piece of a once-shrouded mystery.


Visit the official site to learn more about the Dragonflight expansion.

Players will be able to venture into six of Mists of Pandaria’s storied dungeons to reap new rewards all week during this Bonus Event. Simply open the Group Finder (default hotkey: “I”) and then select Dungeon Finder and Timewalking in the “Type” dropdown menu. Selecting “Find Group” will match you with other players and send you to one of the following Heroic Dungeons.

  • Temple of the Jade Serpent
  • Stormstout Brewery
  • Shado-Pan Monastery
  • Mogu’shan Palace
  • Scholomance
  • Gate of the Setting Sun

Your character and items will be scaled down to a power level fitting for the challenge at hand, but bosses will yield loot appropriate for your natural level. Timewalking dungeons also have a chance to drop items that usually drop when you run them on Heroic, and you’ll earn reputation with a faction that is interested in the dungeon.

You’ll also be able to visit a new Timewalking vendor locat...

An update:

Today, we determined that the solution for Korrak’s Revenge is going to require both a client fix and a server fix. We’ve got the server side worked out, but the overall restoration of Korrak’s Revenge will require a small client patch. Our plan is to get that out later this week.

We apologize for the delay.

Hello,

We have been following the conversation about tanks in our new PvP mode, Solo Shuffle. Tanks have long been a design challenge for PvP as their abilities and tuning are intended to allow them to survive against multiple enemies or Dungeon and Raid bosses. In Battleground modes, like Capture the Flag, where a large team killing a specific player is the primary objective, the existing design for tanks can work well. One team needs to coordinate their burst and crowd control against the other team’s tank and healers use of their defensive abilities and positioning. But, in the case of Arena, the general survivability of tanks (particularly when they are also good at dealing damage or healing their teammates) can be a frustrating experience to play against.

Our first attempt at addressing this problem in Solo Shuffle was to replace healers with tanks in matches where they were involved and to pair strong off-healing tanks (specifically Protection Paladins) against e...

We found an unfortunate bug with Korrak’s Revenge and had to quickly turn it off.

We expect to fix the bug and re-open Korrak’s Revenge with scheduled weekly maintenance on Tuesday.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
