World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

The Skyfury realm has been unlocked for new character creation.

Looks like I spoke too soon, we’ve discovered some late-breaking stability issues with the realms and will need to take them offline to diagnose and fix them. Sorry for jumping the gun!

We’ll aim to have them up and playable tomorrow. Have a great night everybody, thanks for being patient with us during this Beta process.

Apologies for the late night build! Our Beta realms are back up with a new weekly build for you to test.

PSA for Mac Users: We’re aware of some critical issues affecting the Mac client, and are working on a client build to fix it. We expect to be able to deploy that tomorrow morning (West Coast time).

Take a look a this week’s Dragonflight Beta update:

Hmmmm. I do really enjoy stats. Dad jokes are kinda hit and miss for me. Though I’m pretty sure that is the point.

I enjoy most vegetables, but probably broccoli. I think? Though this might change depending on the day you asked me.

How wrong am I on this?

Welcome to the party! May your fire resist never falter.

Today we’d like to introduce you to our newest Warcraft Community Manager, Sanq.

Sanq posted some more about himself here.

We’re really pleased to have Sanq on board as we sail on toward the Dragon Isles.

Welcome home, Sanq!

Hey everyone!

I’m Sanq, and I am the newest addition to the WoW Community team. Nice to meet you!
My experience in WoW starts near the end of Vanilla as a casual player, leveling and just hanging out with friends. In TBC I got my first real taste of raiding and quickly found that I couldn’t get enough. This led me to starting my own guild and Raid/Guild leading through the majority of WotLK. After our guild disbanded, I ended up taking a break to focus on school and work. Now I am back and excited to finally continue my adventure in Shadowlands as I prepare for Dragonflight.

Also, my favorite memory (and probably biggest accomplishment) from my time in WoW was leading my guild to completing Yogg Saron 25 Normal and 10 Hard Mode.

I look forward to getting to know everyone over the coming months!
