They’ve always been also known as the Forsaken. From the Undead race page- “Calling themselves Forsaken, they now struggle to thrive in a world that has come to despise their existence.”

Each week we’ll look ahead to what’s in store for World of Warcraft, share the latest news, and keep you in the know byte by byte. Get ready for the next Dragonflight content update, Fury Incarnate, when it goes live the week of September 5.

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

Total Exploitative WoW Account Actions in July 2023: 116921

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.

Thank you!

In patch 1.14.4, we’re opening some existing APIs that were initially hidden for Classic. These allow third-party websites and apps to retrieve in-game information as JSON text to display information to players or create useful tools, and we’ve seen more requests for them recently.

You can also check out the public API documentation for WoW and WoW Classic here, and we’ll update the Classic documentation as soon as possible. Until then, you can reference the similar WoW documentation on how to use the new endpoints.

Here are some of the APIs becoming public in 1.14.4:

Account Information:
/profile/user/wow

Character Information:
/character
/protected-character
/character/status
/character/equipment

We want to make players who used the WoW Shop earlier today aware of an unexpected issue with the new Corsage Pack in the Shop. We deployed a hotfix for this at 11:31 PDT today.

Players who purchased the Corsage Pack before that time did not have their total Trader’s Tender amount update in-game, and will not see an update to their Trader’s Tender amount until they do a purchase at the Trading Post. After any Trading Post purchase, the additional Trader’s Tender should be displayed.

We apologize for any confusion this caused.

Let your personal style bloom with the Corsage Pack or make an impression as you keep watch with the Solemn Watchman’s Garb—available for a limited time.


Bloom Wherever You Are

Let your personal style bloom when you purchase the Corsage Pack. You’ll receive two transmog items—the Fanciful Corsage in radiant red and the Gothic Corsage in dramatic black— as well as an extra 200 Trader’s Tender to spend on any additional items in the Trading Post* you might like to add to your collection.

What you Get:

  • Fanciful Corsage: Festoon yourself with this lovely, red-bloomed wrist item.
  • Gothic Corsage: Show your mysterious side with this striking ebony-blossom wrist item.
  • 200 Trader’s Tender

Don’t miss out** on this elegant d...

That free transfer path has been available for a while.

Fierce fashionistas and dashing defenders of the Horde and Alliance, synchronize your wardrobes and prepare to do battle. The Trial of Style has arrived, and it’s time to put your transmogrification skills to the test.

Also, earn extra for being extra. While the Trial of Style is active, completing certain activities while trotting around in your best transmogs will earn you some Trader's Tender to spend at the Trading Post.

You’re Invited!

When: August 1–7
Where: Queue for the 6-player scenario at your friendly neighborhood transmog NPC.
What: Contestants will have two minutes to create transmog sets from items in their collection based on themes presented in the scenario. Two players at a time will be pulled up on stage to strike a pose and show off their creation—leaving the remaining four to vote on just who of the two has managed to capture the theme best....

The estimate given can balloon when a high number of player-characters are all requested at the same time. For today’s new transfers, you can expect longer-than-normal times to process, and the time it takes will go down as the system works through them.

Hello everyone.

An incorrect image was shared for the Hunter weapons set. We’ve adjusted the Hunter weapon image to show the correct set.

The days of summer may be winding down, but you can still heat things up with a variety of hot new items in ravishing red or cool things down with some tranquil blue items in the Trading Post*. You’ll stand out with this month’s signature item—the Bones of the Bloodhunter ensemble.

Earn an additional 200 Trader’s Tender through a variety of activities during August to help you purchase the items you want most.

Visit T&W** (Tawney and Wilder) just outside the Mage District in Stormwind or the Zen’shiri Trading Post next to Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar to check out all the latest items*** they have available.


Here’s What’s in Stock for August
