Watching Blizzard: It's still Ulduar o'clock (Patreon)

Ulduar Timewalking is coming to a close next week, so hopefully you’re making the time to squash an Old God this weekend. If not, you probably should, because they’re a real health hazard. Really, you’d be doing Azeroth a favor (and possibly picking up some sweet ilevel 930 loot in the process). If your guild isn’t game, there’s always the group finder… though I do kind of cringe at the thought of a disorganized group trying to kill Flame Leviathan.

And if that doesn’t work, you can skip the Timewalking part and just go in and crush everythingwith your super overpowered 110 character. Or do both. I won’t judge.

But in the meanwhile, let’s check out the day’s news.

We’ll start with a history lesson

• Rossi digs in to the history of the Tauren. And no, Moorgard, there is no steak involved in this conversation.

There’s just so much to explore!

• Anne is still trekking through the alpha. See her latest adventures in the Nazmir gallery of Frogmarsh and Naz’agal.
• Also in the alpha, there are some seriously sweet new spell effects.

Overwatch League isn’t back yet, but…

• The Overwatch Contenders series is kicking off, showing us the next generation of League superstars.

Are you MVP material?

• WoW is relaunching its forum MVP program — you’ll now have to apply to get in.

What are you playing this weekend?

• Overwatch is free to play right now, so if you were pondering picking up the game, you can give it a trial run first.
• The Lunar Festival kicks off in WoW tomorrow. Are you going to be collecting coins again this year, or have you gotten all of your rewards?

Something is happening with Warcraft 3…

• We don’t know what, but it’s definitely something. A number of notable names in the WC3community have been invited to an event at Blizzard HQ. A remastered RTS? A mobile RTS? A Warcraft 4? We’ll see…

And don’t forget!

• There’s just a week left to grab our anniversary t-shirt, with art by Noxychu.

That’s it for today, everyone. I’m off to see about murdering Yogg Saron, so we’ll see if I make it through the weekend. This is Liz, signing out.
