Today marks the last major update for World of Warcraft's latest expansion, Shadowlands. Patch 9.2 is called Eternity's End and adds a whole bunch of stuff that I don't quite understand as an outsider, and other stuff that I do. The biggest add is definitely 9.2's brand new zone, Zereth Mortis, which is home to a new faction called The Enlightened.

WoW's Darkmoon Faire makes its return in March with a new attraction that has gotten me closer to installing WoW than anything else in this update: the Darkmoon Dance Competition. «Put on your dancing shoes and head to the dance party to compete
