Project Lore: Five dudes. Four cameras. One World of Warcraft.

That has to be a record.  For as long as I have been following WoW, over five years, I have never seen Blizzard go from announcement to PTR that fast.  It took two days, less than 48 hours, for Onyxia’s retuning to go from a blue post to actual content on the PTR.  Thanks to [...]

The short answer is that Boubouille scored.  The data mining machine, who used some other resources for his recent discoveries, received almost a perfect score during yesterday’s opening ceremony.  Nearly every World of Warcraft detail that had been disclosed by MMO-Champion.com came true.  Nearly ever one.
There’s absolutely no way I can take away from the [...]

I’m constantly amazed at the sorts of things that can be found by digging through patches. The disparate elements that come together to form what we all know as Azeroth are split into thousands of files and even more lines of code. It’s not entirely surprising that bits of the game not yet (or ever [...]

It is often that we find hints of new or as-yet-unreleased content by carefully and dutifully digging through the files of new patches. Few are better at this than Boubouille of MMO-Champion, a site nearly unparalleled at breaking this brand of news for our favorite game.
But I’m not so sure about one of their latest. [...]

The Next Expansion is an ever growing series of articles that focuses on WoW’s upcoming third expansion.  The column covers news, speculation and even gameplay mechanics that PL’s writers would like to see implemented.

Late last Friday MMO-Champion ran a story on the next expansion that detailed enough information to keep many brains busy over the [...]

Looks like Mr. T’s gone and hacked the game again (he’s pretty handy with computers, I hear). It seems that the sudden release of 3.2.2 on the test realms reveals more than just the revamped Onyxia raid. As usual, Boubouille over at MMO-Champion has already done some digging through the  new files, and he’s come [...]

Non-combat, Vanity, Companion pets.  Call them whatever you want, these fluffy critters make me coo like a school girl and giddy as if a new Hello Kitty product was announced.  It’s a sad state of affairs, but I’ll admit that my manhood goes right out the window whenever I happen upon a fluffy animal, in [...]

My second favorite holiday inside Azeroth is finally upon us. While I am not certain where the IRL version of Feast of Winter Veil ranks (“Awesome, more socks!” and the inevitable, “No Grandma, I’m still not married.”), I certainly love Blizzard’s version of the holiday season. It’s partially because of the fact [...]

As per usual, Boubouille of MMO-Champion has been doing his fair share of digging in the game files, and the last PTR update has revealed some interesting new pets to add to your collection. They’re so nauseatingly adorable, that even Elmyra would think twice about snatching up these little guys. Below is the list of [...]

Did you hear that Season 5 of the Arena would be ending soon?  Well, thanks to Ulduar and its new tier set, Blizzard is forced to close up the Arena season that Wrath brought us and begin anew.  The heads-up was announced early last week, but it lacked any concrete information.  If Blizzard is to [...]
