Dragonflight Professions Explained! Video on Taliesin & Evitel TV: Hello, Internet! We’re Taliesin and Evitel. We live together, we play video games together. Mostly World of Warcraft, but other things too. Expanding the Development Pipeline of World of Warcraft by John Hight, general manager of Warcraft To help support our increased content needs, since May, we’ve been working with a great development partner, Proletariat. Proletariat was founded in 2012 by industry veterans from Turbine, Harmonix, Zynga and Insomniac. Their strong leadership team has a long history of working together, deep MMO experience working on Asheron’s Call, Lord of the Rings Online and D&D Online, and a strong presence in Boston, where they’re based. As long-dormant forces begin to stir in their sacred homeland, the dragons of Azeroth—at times both allies and adversaries of the mortal races—call on the heroes of the Alliance and Horde to help reckon with the looming threats and ancient mysteries on the verge of awakening.

DISCOVER THE DRAGON ISLES The dragonflights of Azeroth have returned, called upon to defend their ancestral home, the Dragon Isles. Surging with elemental magic and the life energies of Azeroth, the Isles are awakening once more, and it’s up to you to explore their primordial wonder and discover long-forgotten secrets. Join a full panel of World of Warcraft developers in this deep dive as they take you into the Dragon Isles and share insights about the new lands to explore, the creatures you’ll meet, and take you deeper into the various systems and changes that will come with the expansion. – Blizzard Once the broodlands of the Dragonflights, the Dragon Isles was once the center of the dragons’ kingdom when the world was young, and the mortal races were just starting to form kingdoms of their own. When the Legion invaded in the War of the Ancients and the Great Sundering broke the world draining much of the magic of the land, the dragons were forced to leave their homeland behind. But they didn’t leave it without the watchers to stand in wait—ready to call back the flights when the elemental energy resurged, and the dragons could be drawn home to re-establish their kingdom. You’ve taken Azeroth and Outland by storm. Now the Lich King’s forces await you in the icy continent of Northrend. Face the undead Scourge and take the fight to the Lich King himself atop Icecrown Citadel. The Dragon Isles & What Lies Imprisoned Beneath It – Dragonflight Cinematic Analysis Hello, Internet!
