Hey everyone, and welcome to another bit of WoW History! Every week, we look down at important events that happened in WoW (or Blizzard!) for that week.
Mythic Antorus is releasing this week, with LFR week one! If you need help with learning the bosses, you can always use our
FatBossTV Antorus guides
. On the events of this week, fan-favorite Icecrown Citadel is released! We also started our journey through the Cataclysm expansion, as well as hear some news from the Warcraft movie!

December 5th, 2016
On this day,
魔王纳扎克
spawned for the first time! This world boss spawned outside of the usual world boss schedule, and is coveted due to being the only source of the rank 3 version of
配方:延时之力药水
. He is located deep within the Falanaar Tunnels in
苏拉玛
.
Na'zak became a meme on it's own when it didn't spawn again for almost a year, freaking out alchemists and completionists alike. He ended up spawning again during the
Blizzcon week this year
! Since then, World Bosses were but on a fixed rotation. If you missed your credit for
怪兽出笼
or your Prolonged Power Rank 3, Na'zak is supposed to spawn again on
January 9th
.
Check out when we reported this!

On this day, Legendary Films announced some major casting decisions for
Warcraft: The Movie
, including actor
Robert Kazinsky
as the lead role of Orgrim Doomhammer.
This role was pretty special for Rob Kazinsky since he is a World of Warcraft player!
In his own words
, "As a career WoW player, 463 days /played, it's pretty much my ultimate job. proud to be a part of something that is such a major part of me." He played a Death Knight and was in a top 100 World guild during
Wrath of the Lich King.
Rob Kazinsky ended up getting a NPC named and styled after his own Death Knight,
卡兹·灭天
. He can be found as a Horde Captain in
阿什兰
, or as one of the possible captains you can defeat for the world quest
黑鸦大乱斗
in
瓦尔莎拉
.
Check out when this was reported!

Wowhead has released it's guides for patch 5.1,
Landfall
! The second patch of Mists of Pandaria has no raid content, instead focusing on the escalating conflict between the Horde and the Alliance as it overtakes the shores of
卡桑琅丛林
. Highlights of the patch include:
Two new factions focused in Krasarang Wilds:
神盾守备军
and
统御先锋军
.
Players are able to permanently increase the item level of their items with currency. This was a fixture of the game till the end of Warlords of Draenor, being replaced on the Legion prepatch with the expanded Titanforging system.
The first appearance of the
Brawler's Guild:
A new fixture for players, engage in challenging solo fights in fighting rings! The Brawler's Guild continues to be updated and it has a
Legion version
.
You can check out our Patch 5.1 survival guide here!

December 5th, 2011
On this day, another raid exploit ended up with a huge sweep of bans in top end guilds.
An exploit was found on the LFR version of
巨龙之魂
, with a loophole that allowed guilds to have a chance at gear more than once per week. With the Dragon Soul tier sets being powerful, particularly for tanks (they turned one of their defensive cooldowns raid wide), guilds exploited those to deck out their guildies in LFR tier to have a headstart on Heroic progression.
Guilds that exploited this got a 8-day ban on the Monday before heroic Dragon Soul opened, which definitely put a halt on progression. Paragon, one of the top guilds in the world back then, even issued an apology:
There has been a lot of misinformation going around, so to clear things up, here is a truthful account of what exactly happened with the LFR and what we have to say about it:
The patch hit EU servers on Wednesday. We started off with our 5x Firelands runs to wrap up legendaries and called it a night. For Thursday, we had an elaborate plan to run a personal LFR raid for every main character to get the maximum amount of loot.
As we were doing the first few runs, we noticed an unrealistic amount of tier pieces on some guilds' armory profiles, which we thought was unattainable through normal means. We started looking into it, and found out that you can loot passed loot on bosses, regardless of save status, if you zone out and back into the instance. This did not provide the raid with any extra loot, but it did eliminate a major portion of the RNG that would have been involved in simply doing personal runs for everyone.
We acknowledge that using this unintended behavior, which was quite clearly a bug, to our gain, was wrong. The fact that others were using it as well is no justification for doing it ourselves. We apologize for doing it, and accept whatever consequences follow.
Remember that exploiting things like that is against the Terms of Service!
And check out when this was reported.

2009
December 8th, 2009 - Patch 3.3.0 is released
Patch 3.3.0 is here! The
Fall of the Lich King
patch is the final Wrath of the Lich King raid patch. Highlights include:
Three New Dungeons: The Frozen Halls -
These new dungeons server as a introduction to Icecrown Citadel, with players carving through the Frozen Halls to safeguard an entrance to the citadel itself.
灵魂洪炉
is the first instance and requires you to destroy the Soul Forges that feed and empower the Scourge army.
萨隆矿坑
is a massive pit of Saronite, where captured soldiers of the Horde and the Alliance are forced to mine for the precious metal, or face torture and reanimation into undeath.
映像大厅
are the Lich King's private chambers, and players finally find the legendary, corrupted sword Frostmourne. Can they end the Lich King menace by destroying the blade before he knows it?
New Raid:
冰冠堡垒
-
The final frontier of Northrend, players have successfully breached an entrance into the fortress of the
巫妖王
. Skilled players must prove themselves in a myriad of horror inducing challenges to reach him and save Azeroth from the Scourge once and for all... ?
Cross-Realm Dungeon Finder:
A new tool released in this patch, the dungeon finder allows players to quickly and easily find groups for 5-man dungeons. Players can also use the Random option to queue to a random dungeon, and reap extra rewards.
Unlike many players when they started Cataclysm, I went straight to Vashj'ir and get ahead of the curve. It worked till I was super tired at level 84, and was forced to go to sleep. Vashj'ir remains my favorite Cataclysm zone.
Do you have any Cataclysm launch stories? Or even Icecrown Citadel? Let us know in the comments!
And see you next week ^^
