Rapper Soulja Boy released his debut album last year and immediately had a smash hit with the single “Crank Dat Soulja Boy.” The popularity of the song has spawned many parodies and imitators, including some in the world of Azeroth. But instead of just putting the rap song under WoW footage, this Machinimist rewrote the lyrics to sing the praises of Boomkin PvP dominance. You’ll never look at Deathchickens the same after this.

Message from Warmane

Greetings Warmane community,

As you’ve probably noticed in the past few days, we’ve been considering a few faction balancing measures in order to ensure quality of gameplay on Outland. Furthermore, we have designed a temporary package of perks for Alliance players in order to motivate and incentivize more players to join Alliance.

Perks

Alliance faction perks will last until August 01, 2017 and will contain the following:

• Free Apprentice Riding and Expert Riding skills
• +50% reputation gain on kill of targets that provide reputation (1.5x)
• +50% experience gain (7.5x)
• +50% honor gain (1.5x)

Warmane announces 1x Burning crusade server!

Greeetings community,

We are extremely pleased to announce that in the coming days, we will be releasing an x1 realm of the Burning Crusade expansion.

As we have previously mentioned, we wanted to gauge the level of interest in the Burning Crusade expansion and the demand for a Lordaeron-esque realm. The results have been greater than we ever expected and therefore we proceed with what we promised. It has been a few exhilarating days for our team and we’ve done our very best to maintain our high standards of stability and performance on Outland and create a fun gameplay environment. With this in mind and the demand shown for the Burning Crusade realm, we decided to open another realm. The realm’s design can be found below:

Features

• x1 rates across the board.
• Limited marketplace with no gear.
• The realm will be progression based.
• Challenging hardcore raid content.

We will continue to demonstrate our development efforts and strive to uphold the Warmane name as a signet of quality. We are confident that we will be able to provide an enjoyable experience for all players alike.

By virtue of delegation, vested into our hands by the community we serve, we confer that the realm will bear the name after Medivh, the Last Guardian.

Medivh, the x1 Warmane Burning Crusade realm is scheduled to be launched on May 27, 2017 at 13:00 server time.

Kind regards
Warmane

Project-Ascension Random Enchant Overhaul

The current problem was that low level green items with the perfect enchants were better than relevant level gear in a lot of cases. This is currently an issue but as the game progresses through later expansions this problem will only grow worse. The new mechanics put in place should fix this issue.

• Enchants are now broken into a ‘Tier System,’ based on required level and item level.
• Stronger items can obtain stronger enchants, based on item level
• Enchants are disabled on items with a required level 20 levels under you.
• Enchants will no longer apply to drops on items 20 levels below the player.
• A small subset of Enchants now will no longer be stackable which will be indicated by the label ‘Does not Stack’ in the description of the Enchant

That’s a quick rundown a full breakdown can be found On their official post.

Enchanting event this weekend to kick off the new system!

• The weekend event will have reduced enchanting prices. The temporary price will be 10x cheaper than the regular price!
• Forges have been temporarily placed in capital cities and will remain there until the end of the event sunday.

Other Updates

• Polished Tooltips
• Tome Loot Changes
• Reversion of Shield Nerf and Block
• Evasion and Pathing Improvements
• Dungeon Retuning
• PVP System Testing

Additional information can be found on their official post.
