Hey guys, Jess from Curse here!
World of Warcraft patch 5.4 launched recently, and Mists of Pandaria is celebrating its one-year
anniversary - and I know a lot of you have been feeling the itch and looking for a reason
to renew your subscription - well, instead of just A reason, I'll give you 10.
The number 10 reason to start playing WoW again: the new Refer a Friend system.
This whole process will be moved in-game, rather than requiring you to visit the site
in your browser.
The system will give you a token which you can redeem for the new mount, one of the other
mounts, or one of a choice of four pets.
Number 9: And speaking of pets - there are tons of new battle pets!
They drop from bosses in Siege of Orgrimmar, and all over the Timeless Isle.
Oh, you haven't been to the Timeless Isle yet?
That brings me to reason number 8: A new area, the Timeless Isle, was just added in Patch
5.4.
Not only does this just mean new content, it's a whole new area for you to explore - remember
the feeling of discovery and exploration that first drew you into World of Warcraft?
The Timeless Isle lets you experience that again.
It's full of dynamic events, bosses, treasures to find, and other immersive experiences.
Reason number 7: Blizzcon!
It's back this year, and WoW is such a social game - Blizzcon's your chance to reunite offline
with your guildmates, or recruit new ones!
Or if you can't make it in person, Blizzard's offering virtual tickets that give you HD
access to panels, interviews, the closing ceremony, on-demand replays of any video content,
as well as contests and in-game goodies!
Number 6: the changes made to PvP.
It's a lot easier to get started, first of all - the learning curve can be killer, we
all know that, but it's now a bit gentler on newbies.
They've also done away with Arena Teams, meaning that you can now work on your personal rating
with people of different rankings, AND you're now able to join up with friends on different
servers and do arenas together.
Or if you're a seasoned Arena vet, remember...a new season began in September, which means
a whole new slew of titles and awards.
Number 5: Connected realms.
Maybe you noticed how everyone seems to be switching realms and moving toward a handful
of specific, highly active realms?
Well, connected realms are going to let you stay on your home realm with your current
character and guild name but you will be questing, running Raids and Dungeons, and even using
the same auction house as people from other realms
Reason number 4: Proving Grounds.
Sure, I know...YOU'RE a pro player - it's all those other guys that have to fix their
rotation, up their DPS, learn to hold aggro, etc.
Proving grounds are sort of a practice area with NPCs that give players a chance to learn
their role without having to do so in an actual raid environment with real people.
Number 3: Flexible Raid Difficulty.
You can bring anywhere from 10 to 25 people to your raid, and the difficulty will automatically
scale.
Also you can simply drop a group or remake one to continue your progression.
Plus it's wing-based like Raid Finder, but requires more coordination - so it's a great
challenge for groups of varying size.
And speaking of raiding....number 2: They've added a new raid, the Siege of Orgrimmar.
Which means 14 new bosses - but more importantly, the storyline and importance behind this new
raid, because the golden Vale of Eternal Blossoms has been defiled, many NPCs who have helped
you along in this expansion are now dead or corrupted, the Horde civil war is coming to
a head, and there is only one Orc to blame...
Which means...the number one reason to come back to WoW: You can finally kill Garrosh
Hellscream and put an end to the Alliance-Horde War.
Bring peace to Azeroth!
That's it, those are our 10 reasons why you should start playing World of Warcraft again!

that keeps bringing YOU back in.
