Note: This post was originally made on my Tumblr, but I figured I’d share it here as well. I’ve seen this question bounce around a few times since the announcement of Battle For Azeroth. So I figured I’d do my share of clearing up a misconception. The Horde and Alliance didn’t team up to fight…

CUUURSEEE YOOOUUU!) were getting their first look at what changes were about to hit the world, a very interesting discussion arose. Amidst the chaos of “Fix this bug Blizz, U lAzy!” and…

Would it be an over-simplification to say there’s been a lot of talk about this whole sparkly pony situation? The responses to its release have been pretty widespread from screaming logical hiccups to squealing delightful joy. However, there hasn’t been a lot of talk about where the heck this thing comes from. Yes, yes, I…
