Patch 12.1 is on the horizon, and it looks like we were right—that ominous monologue Zul’jan had during World of Warcraft: Midnight‘s main story quests was absolutely a setup for the next major patch. Curse of Ula’tek is going to take us to The Coiled Isle, where we’ll be digging further into the troubled history…
“But before you rush out to buy one, consider these facts”. The concept of importing video games from other regions has become less popular in recent years thanks to the introduction of region-free software and release dates being much closer together than they were many decades ago.
