WARLORDS OF DREANOR

Blizzcon 2013 has come and gone - and what a con it was! I wasn't lucky enough to be there, but the Blizzcon virtual ticket had me hooked to my computer screen for the whole weekend!

Warlords of Draenor was announced as the new expansion for World of Warcraft - players will visit Outland how it was 30 years ago when the Orc clans and Draenei inhabited Draenor.

The level cap is being raised to 100 with old players getting a free level 90 to skip previous content when they purchase the new expansion.

Blizzard also finally announced there answer to player housing! (yes! our prayers are finally answered!). This will come in the form of a Garrison - effectively the players own base, which can be completely customised.

Raiding is getting an over haul too - 10 and 25 man raids will be no more! Blizzards answer for normal and heroic raiding is flexible raiding between 10 and 25 players. The new progression raiding format will be 20 player Mythic raiding.

We are also finally getting the long awaited new character models for the original eight races - and they look awesome!

Items are getting there over haul too - Hit, parry, dodge, expertise and reforging are on the way out and the item squish is on it's way in. The best news in this category is that armour will automatically change stats based on your spec! So you will no longer have to carry two sets of armour in your back pack of leave the raid to respec! In essence there will be no more Intellect and Strength plate - just plate!

New collection tabs will be added for heirlooms and vanity items - joining the mounts and pets tab, freeing up more room in your bags and bank! Quest items will also no longer take up bag space!

There will be seven new zones and each one is extremely atmospheric and completely original. There will be more dungeons planned for mid-expansion.

A new Adventurer's Guide will suggest content for players to do in-game based on their gear, level, and professions.
