World of Warcraft is plagued by the nasty old god N'Zoth with the release of its latest update, Visions of N'Zoth, where Horde and Alliance heroes must battle through nightmarish visions, corrupted zones, and new raids The Horde and Alliance heroes must fight through nightmarish visions, corrupted zones, and new raids. Expect tentacles.

To bring you up to speed, check out Steven Messner's interview with Senior Game Designer Jeremy Feasel about the changes that the 8.3 update will bring. These are pretty important and lead to the conclusion of an expansion that has had many ups and downs; Blizzard has created a hub that brings all the new elements together in one place, so check it out before you dive in.

Visions of N'Zoth will also add two new Allied races that can make Mechagnome of Alliance and Vulpera of Horde. I'm a big fan of the Allied races because I'm someone who is into alts, but I don't want to have to struggle to unlock them. It's miserable.

Good luck beating the old gods.
