World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth (abbreviated as Battle or BfA) is the seventh expansion for World of Warcraft. It was announced at BlizzCon 2017 on November 3, 2017.
The idea of the expansion came up after the heroes of Azeroth dealt with so much external threats like the Burning Legion. In their own words, "so when we talk about what's the biggest threat in this world, is it the titan or is it the dwarf paladin that put a hammer in that titan's head"? As such, the enemy (at least during the early parts of the scenario) will be the opposite faction, a "vast army of world-destroying forces".
On January 30, 2018 Battle for Azeroth was made available for preorder, coming with the unlocking of the four first allied races. With the announcement of the Collector's Edition and release date for Battle for Azeroth on April 5, 2018,[3][5] Legion was the first expansion to be offered for free with a preorder.[6] Battle for Azeroth is the first expansion to launch in the Americas, Europe, Taiwan, Korea, and Australia/New Zealand at the same time. Battle for Azeroth set a new day-one sales record for a World of Warcraft expansion with more than 3.4 million units sold on day-one.

Finished all the alliance campaigns on my 120 Human WW Monk (Pride of Kultiras, Alliance War campaign) and my initial thoughts are that it definitely isnt as fun or enjoyable as legion, but its not near as bad as everyone is complaining about. I agree the azerite system is dumb, hence why I dont bother grinding for azerite. Kultiras was …
Finished all the alliance campaigns on my 120 Human WW Monk (Pride of Kultiras, Alliance War campaign) and my initial thoughts are that it definitely isnt as fun or enjoyable as legion, but its not near as bad as everyone is complaining about. I agree the azerite system is dumb, hence why I dont bother grinding for azerite. Kultiras was fun but very underwhelming, I enjoyed Drustvar a lot but Tiragarde sound felt too long and tedious, and stormsong didnt have the best story imo (not into the whole tidesage shit). The alliance war campaign however was very fun and I enjoyed that all the way through, really enjoyed spending time in Zandalar and made me look forward to leveling my horde main through BFA.
Overall Id give it a solid 3.5/5 for now but ive still gotta see what the Horde side and 8.1 have to offer before my final judgement.

I'm enjoying BfA infinitely more than Legion and almost as much as Draenor.
