Final Update 5:50 p.m. PST
We’re live.

Update #3

We’re not going to make it in time for 5:00 p.m. to be accurate, so we’re extending by another hour to 6:00 p.m. PST (9:00 p.m. EST), and hopeful that we’re very close to complete on maintenance.

Updated

We’re continuing to work through issues that will require us to keep the game offline longer than hoped, and we’re changing that estimated time to 5:00 p.m. PST (8:00 p.m.EST).

Previously posted

We’ve just made the decision to delay our estimated launch time for Guardians of the Dream. We now expect to be finished with maintenance by 4:00 p.m. PST (7:00 p.m. EST).

Launching this patch is our top priority across the entire WoW Development Team, and we’ll let you know when we have any further updates.

It’s a great time to hop into the saddle of a dragon and soar the skies in Guardians of the Dream when you get 30% off select game services. Choose a fresh name with the Name Change pack introductory offer, and save on Faction Change, Race Change, and Character Transfer packs.

To provide more transparency on the actions we take against cheating and exploitation, here is an accounting of the number of actions that were taken over the last month, October 2023:

Total Exploitative WoW Account Actions in October 2023: 203026

All of these actions were for cheating or exploitation, which primarily result in permanent bans or 6-month suspensions. This number does not include other actions such as those taken on accounts with character name or in-game language violations. We continue to evolve our methods and act against these malicious accounts on a daily basis.

Here is the latest updates to the Guardians of the Dream PTR. The patch notes article will be updated with this information shortly.

DRAGONFLIGHT SEASON 3

  • At the beginning of Season 3 (November 14 in this region), Keystones will drop 11 levels in addition to any normal weekly reduction that may have occurred. Here’s what that might look like:
    • Example 1: You completed a +15 the week of November 7-14, but didn’t time it. The resulting key would normally drop by 1 level, because your highest key wasn’t timed (15 > 14). It will then drop an additional 11 levels due to the season rollover decay (14 > 3).
    • Example 2: You timed a +15 the week of November 7-14. The resulting key would normally be level 15, because you had timed the 15 last week. But would then drop the additional 11 levels due to season rollover decay (15 > 4).

This Gen X likes BTS, Tomorrow X Together, among others. KPop has come a long way since when I first heard it some time ago. :wink: But I love music, so feel good music is good music, and can go beyond generations.

I’m glad you all enjoyed their performance and video (assuming you did. :wink: )

During the World of Warcraft®: Deep Dive panel at BlizzCon 2023, Game Director Ion Hazzikostas took viewers deeper into the features coming in the next chapter of World of Warcraft: The War Within™.
