Robin loves RPGs, MMOs, JRPGs, Action, and Adventure games... also puzzle games... and platformers... and exploration games... there are very few games she isn't interested in. When it comes to MMOs she focuses on WoW and GW2 but will pick-up other games as they catch her fancy. She's a habitual returner to FFXIV because that game is an all-around great MMO.

Robin reflects on how the latest expansion for World of Warcraft, Shadowlands, tells its story as she works through the new content.
After a year that seemed like it was somehow ten years and ten days simultaneously, we are finally about to head into World of Warfract: Shadowlands. There's one more week of the pre-patch left, and then a new dawn will rise for both the Alliance and Horde. But how's the pre-patch going so far? If you haven't participated in the pre-patch event or have only done some of it so far, there will be some spoilers here.
Last week, Robin had the opportunity to preview the new story chapter in the Icebrood Saga and check out a Dragon Response Mission in Metrica Province. She was particularly keen to look at the new story because from its announcement; this one seemed a bit different from the story chapters in the first half of the Icebrood Saga. So, let's dive in.

Shadowlands is bringing with it some monumental changes to World of Warcraft. This guide is intended to help players who used to play World of Warcraft but have been out of the game for a while and have now returned after the 9.0 Shadowlands pre-patch. There will also be a new player guide, which we will link to once it's posted.
This past week the Shadowlands Pre-Patch went live for everyone currently playing World of Warcraft. However, this pre-patch is a bit different for two big reasons. The first is although all of the significant system changes have gone live, we have not started the pre-patch event, and we have absolutely no idea when that will start. Secondly, we have no idea at all when Shadowlands will launch. We could potentially be in the most prolonged pre-patch phase we have ever seen. This, of course, has

The last couple of weeks have given us not only the release date for Shadowlands but also the first two episodes of "Afterlives" have been released. In the same way, Warbringers, Harbingers, and Lords of War set the stage for BfA, Legion, and WoD, respectively; Afterlives gives us a peek into some of the happenings in the shadowlands before we arrive there. If you've missed any of these, I strongly recommend checking them out. Not only are they interesting, but they are always very well done and
