World of Warcraft continues to thrive more than two decades after its original release, though players recently encountered frustration with the Great Vault's reward system. The developer has now provided an official solution to this problem. World of Warcraft's Great Vault serves as a weekly reward mechanism that grants players additional gear for completing challenging raids, conquering difficult dungeons, and participating in various world activities.

Since its introduction in 2004, this massively multiplayer online game has delivered ten major expansions, with 2024's The War Within being the most recent. Two additional expansions, titled Midnight and The Last Titan, have been announced for future release, expected no earlier than 2026 and 2027 respectively. World of Warcraft remains one of the most influential fantasy games from the 2000s, maintaining its popularity in 2025 through Blizzard's continuous updates and content management.

The World of Warcraft 11.1.5 content update introduced numerous features including the Nightfall scenario, Cooldown Manager UI enhancement, and the Winds of Mysterious Fortune event. However, this update also inadvertently created an issue with the Great Vault's reward distribution. Through an official Blizzard forum post, developers acknowledged that some players were receiving duplicate trinket offerings in the Great Vault. The resolution for this problem is scheduled for implementation during the planned server maintenance on April 23 at 7:00 AM PDT. According to the development team, "When servers resume operation, we anticipate the Vault will generate diverse reward options as originally designed."
