World of Warcraft‘s newest large-group adventure will stand on the shoulders of 20 years of raids that came before—and break new ground. Literally. The Liberation of Undermine, the latest eight-boss underground raid that will launch as part of the 11.1 Undermine(d) update to The War Within expansion early next year, will contain new twists on…
