World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

In order to prepare our systems which will handle snapshotting WoW Classic player-characters and preparing them to be separately playable on Burning Crusade Classic and WoW Classic Era realms, we will close the character transfer service in WoW Classic on April 30 at 10:00 a.m. PDT in this region.

We expect character transfers to be closed for multiple weeks, and we will let you know as soon as we can determine this process is nearly complete and we expect to re-open the service. For the duration of the closure, it will not be possible to transfer a WoW Classic player-character to or from any realm.

The actual snapshotting of all WoW Classic characters will occur after this closure. We will also announce that time at a later date.

The character transfer service closure in WoW Classic will have no impact whatsoever on the World of Warcraft: Shadowlands digital shop or services.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we perform this update.

With today’s patch, in addition to gameplay updates and bugfixes, you’ll now see an informational window on the character selection screen.

The new window contains some general information on what’s coming, and it can be hidden and revealed by clicking the circular Burning Crusade Classic button on the same screen. This is not the point at which you’ll choose between the two games (Burning Crusade Classic and WoW Classic Era). That decision will become accessibl...

Take a look at today’s hotfixes and the changes coming to Sanguine Depths with this week’s scheduled maintenance.

• Sanguine Depths
  • [With regional restarts] Dark Acolyte’s Dark Bolt cast time increased to 2 seconds (was 1.5 seconds).

    • Fixed an issue that caused Endless Torment to be cast mu...

We’ve enabled Battlegrounds and Arena Skirmishes on the Badge of Justice realm, allowing those activities to be tested at level 70 with template characters.

Speak to Donjon in Shattrath to be sent to Orgrimmar or Stormwind, where you’ll find “King” Dond offering gear suitable for PvP.

With scheduled weekly maintenance, WoW Classic will be updated to Patch 1.13.7.

Thank you!

Raid testing in the Burning Crusade Classic Beta is now underway, and we’ve received many answerable inquiries on every aspect of the game. What follows is an outline of the answers to many common questions about the Beta, which we will update as necessary over the coming weeks.

Attunements

• Attunements will function as they did when originally released.
• Original questlines will be required to enter each instance and purchasing Heroic dungeon keys will require Revered reputation.
• These attunement requirements will relax as the game progresses through its content phases.
  • For example, Karazhan should initially require attunement, but will no longer require attunement at a later phase. Thereafter, a group should still need the Master’s Key to open the gate.
  • Dungeon keys should be relaxed to require Honored reputation at a later phase.
• Throughout Burning Crusade Classic, we plan to make it so th...
