Although Blizzard first said it wasn’t a very big concern, the developer has decided to address the issue of layer hopping to grind mobs or resource nodes in World of Warcraft Classic. This is a trick that takes advantage of the server layer system to basically make resources that were just mined, killed, or collected magically reappear by switching to another layer of the server.

In the interview, Hazzikostas touched on a multitude of topics, from culture both in the game and at Blizzard, and on the future of World of Warcraft in light of the changes it is undergoing in response to the lawsuits filed against it. One of these comments addressed the concept of players from opposite factions being able to play and raid together–a feat presently impossible despite the narrative in World of Warcraft featuring the two forces working together on multiple occasions....

RELATED: Classic WoW: Important In-Game Items To Have For The Wrath Of The Lich King Release With the official announcements made and the schedule already set for the next few weeks, players are scrambling to prepare their gold, gear, and guilds for the events that lead up to the expansion. Whether it’s a new character that needs to level or an endgame ’toon that needs the gear and upgrades, here’s what every player needs to know about the WotLK pre-patch....

The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, or NPT, was signed on July 1, 1968, and went into effect on March 5, 1970. It was later extended indefinitely in 1995, half a century after the United States conducted the first atomic attack in history against Japan during World War II, marking the beginning of the nuclear weapons era and the race for weapons of mass destruction that followed through the Cold War and beyond....

Named Black Beauty, it formed almost 4.5 billion years ago and adds to evidence the Red Planet was once habitable. The famous space rock found in the western Sahara of Africa formed part of a primordial crust that hosted oceans of water. Now, an international team has pinpointed its exact home. They used a supercomputer to track its creation on the red planet in a province known as Terra Cimmeria-Sirenum....

This World Cup has witnessed some great football and stunning goals over the last few weeks. Harry Kane leads the goal-scoring chart with 6 goals so far. Football is not just about scoring goals, the hardest part is creating them. Creativity is one of the major factors that determine the success of a team. One key reason why England, Belgium, Croatia, and France have qualified for the semifinals was because of their creativity and the presence of quality playmakers....

There has been no more astounding athletic feat in this World Cup, however, than the dash by referee Bjorn Kuipers to the replay monitor between the Brazil and Costa Rica benches to adjudicate whether a penalty kick should have been awarded on a foul against Neymar. WORLD CUP 2018: Matchday Central (It shouldn’t. And, in the end, it wasn’t.) The game clock showed 77:45 had elapsed when Kuipers made the initial signal that Neymar’s tumble in the penalty box was worthy of a spot kick....

We have created a slideshow of five goals, it is not easy to choose only five and their ranking might spark some debate. But rankings have been done on complete analysis of how important the goal for the team, at what time it is scored (dying minutes qualifying goals give goosebumps), how difficult it is to execute, outside the box and difficult angle goals are tough to score, which adds to the greatness....

It was an unpredictable month-long journey in the tournament, as most of the favourites for the trophy faced early exits. Top stars in the world like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mohamed Salah failed to impress at the world’s biggest sporting event, making way for new heroes in Eden Hazard, Kylian Mbappe, Luka Modric and Harry Kane. You could call it the tournament of the underdogs as the formerly massive gap in talent between the favourites and the smaller teams was reduced considerably in 2018....

The German Depth As I am writing this, the French squad has not been announced yet, but yesterday the German provisional squad was announced. The biggest headline from that announcement is that the two players who set up and scored the World Cup Final winning goal in Brazil - Mario Götze and Andre Schürrle - both failed to make the squad. Götze is the more surprising one because after all the promise he showed in 2014, to now, not even being in the squad in 2018....

The Portuguese coach claimed that Qatar’s coaching staff allegedly made insulting remarks about his mother throughout the duration of the game which, according to him, was a case of “lack of ethics.” Qatar 0-1 Iran - Team Melli edge out Maroons to consolidate lead atop Group A “Two staff insulted me in Spanish, I can’t understand it. People don’t have the right to spend the game insulting and offending other people,” said Queiroz....

Australia are eyeing their 6th World Cup title this year, but it will not be easy as some of their frailties have been exposed in their first three matches. Australia still have a very strong team on paper, and their squad has been bolstered by the return of Steve Smith and David Warner. However, their bowlers need to perform better for them to have a serious chance of lifting the cup....

Bangladesh finished on the losing side in a close match against New Zealand but would take a lot of heart from the way they clawed their way back into that game. Yet, their task will not be easy against arguably the best white-ball side at present. England Skipper Eoin Morgan has reignited a brand of fearless cricket in the English side which has taken them to the summit of the ICC ODI rankings....

Just when India felt that the middle order conundrum was finally solved when Rayudu had good home run against the West Indies, the Middle order crisis has come back to haunt Virat Kohli and the team management. In the three ODI’s so far against the Australians in the ongoing home series, Rayudu has been poor, to say the least. This has caused alarming signals among all the cricket fanatics as India has only two games left before their World Cup opener against SouthAfrica at The Rose Bowl on the 5th of June....

As far as the tournament is concerned, the last week has been a successful week for the players who have been recently slotted into the playing XI. Mohammed Shami, Haris Sohail, Kemar Roach, and Jason Behrendorff made all the difference to the fortunes of their respective teams. As far as Team India is concerned, they should address their biggest worry associated with their brittle middle-order. Though Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni, and Hardik Pandya scored vital runs in the last two matches, the No....

South African captain Faf du Plessis won the toss and decided to field first. Hazratullah Zazai and Noor Ali Zadran got the team off to a good start; the openers were steady before rain arrived at the score of 33 for 0 in 5.5 overs. After the rain break, the match was reduced to 48 overs a side. Kagiso Rabada got the breakthrough for South Africa, sending Zazai back for 22....

Meanwhile, West Indies have to win all their remaining games if they want to stand any chance of staying alive in this tournament. The Blackcaps, who have been the most consistent ODI team over the last few years, look a formidable side with all the players chipping in with valuable contributions leading to the team’s victory. However, the Windies have also played some exhilarating cricket in this World Cup but they lack consistency in their performances which has often led to their demise....

France will arrive in Qatar this November as the defending champions having triumphed in Russia four years ago and Didier Deschamps’s team is expected to be among the frontrunners again in 2022. Brazil enters as the No. 1-ranked team in the world (according to the FIFA rankings) and will be aiming to win the World Cup for a sixth time in its history, and a first since 2002. There are, however, shocks and upsets at every World Cup with a ‘dark horse’ sure to emerge (see: Croatia’s unexpected run to the final in 2018)....

Perhaps that helps explain why they so rarely enter each other’s orbits. France is the reigning FIFA World Cup champion. England is the home of the richest and most powerful league in the world game. As close as they are geographically, separated by a 21-mile-wide channel, their men’s national teams have met only 31 times, have not played a game in five years and have not played a game that mattered in a decade, since they drew in their opening game at Euro 2012....
