    World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Expansion

    Sylvanas Windrunner has torn open the veil between Azeroth and the afterlife, jeopardizing the fragile balance between the realms of life and death. To ensure that the cosmic order is preserved, Azeroth’s champions must set out on a journey into the realms of the afterlife to deal with the consequences of Sylvanas’s actions.

    World of Warcraft®: Shadowlands, the eighth expansion for Blizzard Entertainment’s acclaimed massively multiplayer online role-playing game, sends players to the ultimate undiscovered frontier—the Shadowlands, an infinite plane where the souls of the dead go to be reborn, serve, do battle, or endure endless torment. There, Azeroth’s heroes must forge bonds with the powerful beings who hold dominion over the Shadowlands—among them some of the most iconic figures in the Warcraft® universe—and acquire the unearthly powers they need to uncover the extent of Sylvanas’s designs.
    • EXPLORE THE REALM OF THE DEAD—For the first time in World of Warcraft, cross into the Shadowlands, a realm of infinite afterlives where wonders and horrors abound. Ride across the gleaming fields of Bastion, lose yourself among the gothic spires of Revendreth, confront the twisted visions of the Maw, and more.
    • PLEDGE YOURSELF TO A COVENANT AND SHAPE YOUR DESTINY—The Covenants who hold dominion over the zones introduced in Shadowlands are eager to recruit Azeroth’s champions. Each has unique story line and an array of powers they bestow upon those who pledge their cause. Choose between Bastion’s valiant Kyrian or Revendreth’s cunning Venthyr, fight for the mighty Necrolords of Maldraxxus, or seek renewal with the untamed Night Fae of Ardenweald.
    • TAKE ON THE BOUNDLESS CHALLENGE OF TORGHAST, TOWER OF THE DAMNED—The vilest souls in existence are damned to suffer eternal torment in this horrific, otherworldly prison. This everchanging, roguelike challenge is open to solo players and groups of up to five, and those who brave its trials will earn some of the afterlife’s worthiest rewards.
    • JOURNEY THROUGH A NEW LEVELING EXPERIENCE—Level up your next hero through a fully revamped 1–50 experience where every level is meaningful, then advance to the new level cap of 60 in the Shadowlands.

    level squish is much needed but ehhh no new classes or races and the only new features are covenants which seem like order hall / faction rep retreads and a tower of the damned mode which is in every other game on earth

    also they really doubled down on Sylvanas as emo Garrosh huh

    ehhhhh

    A lot of race options came about in BFA, so none in Shadowlands doesn't surprise me. Interested to see what eventually happens, and how much Classic influences Live, but no real desire to play the actual game.

    Based on WoW lore, that's not Arthas anymore, right? I thought after WotLK, the heroes killed Arthas and some dude took the crown to maintain control over the undead?

    I could have bought an 11 pull and have 1000 gems left over, but all I got was this silly title.

    Um, sorry for bump. But there's absolutely no where else active that I can find to ask this.

    I'm looking to maybe return, I found a work friend that plays and he has a bunch of friends that also play, so I feel a small urge to return.

    One thing that is bothering me, I quit back at 90 (Mists?)
    I remember in one of the expansions after, I forget which, but every class and its talent tree can build their own relic/legendary? So I recall specifically Paladins can build that Ashbringer.
    Can that still be built? And is it easy now because it's probably 10-20 levels above cap? Or still an annoying grind.

    That was two expansions ago in Legion. You can build up your sweet Ashbringer but once you start in what's-it-called uhh Battle for Azeroth, you'll throw it in the trash. Literally.

    I'm pretty sure you can't. Honestly, if you're looking to come back I would just wait till November when the new expansion comes out. The whole experience will be different with the giant ass level squish

    Thanks, yeah the fact that I can't use that Ashbringer for glamour sort of turned me away hahahaha, as that was the first thing I wanted to do post level cap.

    You can transmog Ashbringer as long as you are a ret pally. You don't actually even have to be using a sword, as long as you are a ret pally you can trasmog any weapon into it assuming you went through the leveling process and obtained it.

    When you get to legion, if you're questing to level, the first quests will give you the ashbringer and you can forever transmog/glamour it as long as you're playing ret paladin spec. You will not throw it away.

    There's 100% leveling bonuses going on right now so it's easy to skip but you don't have to wait till max level to do it. It's a quick chain.

    Also when you hit legion do the Invasions they pretty much get you 4-6 levels that's why it's easy to skip the artifact quest lines.

    I'll just be taking both sides with a grain of salt. I remember when Blizz was adamant that Diablo 3 wouldn't come to consoles.
