World of Warcraft: Patch 6.0.2 The Iron Tide is live October 14

Hi!
 
Prepatory patch to Warlords of Draenor expansion is going live on October 14(NA) and October 15(EU). \o/ New skills, gameplay mechanics and lots of changes will be here and also lots of things will be gone forever like challenge dungeons, valor points, commendation badges, brawler's guild season 1, couple of achievements, etc...

Here take a look at what will get scrapped from the game with the patch

 Story

At this point, the Dark Portal has already been activated. It is now visually different - turns red instead of the usual green color- .Iron Horde passed through the portal and invaded Azeroth. In Blasted Lands both Okril'lon and Nethergarde has fallen to the invaders which will propel the Horde and Alliance leaders to get their armies ready to fight with the Iron Horde on Draenor. Iron Horde did not stop at Blasted Lands and also marched to Blackrock Mountains. In Blackrock Mountains, they took refuge in Upper Blackrock Spire.

 

 Limited-Time Event

There will be a limited-time 5 player (only to level 90 characters) version of Upper Blackrock Spire where we will face bosses Orebender Gor'ashan, Kyrak and Commander Tharbek.

World of Warcraft News:Name Reclaimation, Face Customization, Availability of Legendary Cloak Quest Line and New WoD Legendary

Hi!

Blizzard will release the character names that players haven't logged in since November 13, 2008 to other players. If you want to keep your character names, you have to log in to the game with the character(s) which would be otherwise affected from this change before Patch 6.0.2. I don't think there will be many people who'd like to keep the names if they neglect that character for a whopping 6 years. They probably either quit the game or created a character in another realm and forgot its existence. New players and people who desire to change their character names will have more options after this name wipe according to Blizzard.

                                        ***

It's finally here! We can now- I mean when WoD released- make facial customization in game with gold. To do this, we need to visit barber shop in Capital cities. No more irl money will be spent just to change your character's facial features. \o/

                                        ***

If you have not already obtained your legendary cloak, you should work hard to get it since it will not be available forever. If you've already started to the associated quest line, you must complete it until November 13 since the quest line and the any progress you have will be removed from the game on that day. If you are not already progressing through the quest line when patch 6.0.2 hits live realms, you won't even be able to start it. However, to make it easy to complete the quest line, Blizzard decided to leave Gaze of the Black Prince buff up until WoD release. Good luck on your journey!

                                       ***

It seems Blizzard will make another legendary available to everyone through another quest line in WoD. There is not much detail about it but its name, Khadgar's Band of Archmage, makes me believe that this time we will get a legendary ring.
