Is Archeology Officially Dead?

I truly hope not.

Signed, someone who loves Archaeology so much she earned 'Seeker of Knowledge’ ! :sob:

2 expansions it has been skipped now. It’s dead.

Based on the dev responses, it sounds like it is on hiatus.

Which might be for the best. I personally wasn’t a big fan of the whole ‘colder-warmer’ minigame attached to it and I think it deserves a lot better.

Probably. Ion said it’s not an emphasis in dragonflight in an interview.

Screw Ion, archeology was great.

You dig, run, dig. What’s so incredible about it?
Like you really really must be a neckbeard who uses mcdonalds’ wifi to play wow.

I hope they revive it at some point, but seems currently there is no plan for it to return. With us venturing deeper into Azeroth only seems fitting that we could use it to learn more lore about the world and the cultures in it, like the Haranir or artifacts left over by the Titans.

Why it stopped being updated is really a big mystery to me. It was that unpopular back in the day?

It was a fun activity with cool rewards and lore reads. They have so many cosmetics nowadays and Archaeology was a really good way to put some of those behind.

The answer to that is hidden in a long series of hints and clues scattered all over Azeroth. Find them!

Archeology is practically a fossil…

It indeed went the way of the dino, yes… runs out of the paleontology hall amid a hail of tomatoes and number two pencils
