What's up with the plot section of this page? It looks like it hasn't been updated in about 10 years. How do we feel about doing subsections based on plot overviews of each of the expansions? It also needs citations. I've added a "needs updating" tag. Comment added by NecroDuke (talk • contribs) 01:36, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

The information under the "expansions" section is outdated. This sentence specifically: As of the pre-patch release of Battle for Azeroth in July 2018, all expansions up to Legion are included in the base game.
Change that to "As of the release of the Dragonflight expansion in 2022, all expansions up to Shadowlands are included in the base game." Source is here: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/15733
You should also write something to clarify the modern precedent that Blizzard has set that when an expansion concludes, then it is included into the base game for subscribers.
ADDITIONALLY
Under "Ongoing Gameplay" the terminology about PvP gameplay is outdated. Players no longer "flag" themselves for PvP as the primary way to engage with in PvP, they instead "toggle War Mode", as mentioned near the beginning of the article. "Depending on the mode of the realm," is confusing wording and is no longer relevant now that servers are only RP or PvE. As an opposite to the "free-for-all" PvP areas that are mentioned, it could be worth mentioning areas flagged as "Sanctuaries" in the game where PvP is not possible and not permitted.
ADDITIONALLY
Under "Animated Series" The "Afterlives" series is not a traditional animated show, and are more like animated trailers for the upcoming story. You can use the world "series", but it's worth noting that "Warbringers" and "Harbingers" are titles of other series made in a similar fashion and should be included.

I suggest it would be best to merge Nostalrius with this page. I assert the other page topic's notability does not meet Wikipedia's Notability Guidelines. I will suggest to merge Nostalrius into the section "Community and study of player interaction," but please provide your opinion if you believe it should find its new home in a different section of the page.

I hereby request that the tag, "merge from|Nostalrius|discuss=Talk:World of Warcraft#Merge Proposal|date=March 2024" be added to the top of this article with the appropriate braces to parse it properly in the system. RandomPageCrusader (talk) 03:42, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
As of june 9th 2024, the table and body text of the "expansions" section can be updated to include the release date for The War Within, which is slated to be August 26, 2024. it was announced during Summer Game Fest at the Xbox Games Showcase. Additionally, the table could be edited to list the subsequent expansions, Midnight and The Last Titan although there are no estimated release years or new level caps for either expansion at this time.
