Every time players log in toWorld of Warcraftfor the approximately two years an expansion is live, fans are greeted by a unique login screen. This fact alone has solidified all of these screens as some of the most recognizable images inWorld of Warcrafthistory.

Now,World of Warcraftfans have finally gotten a first look at the login screen forThe War Within. As of the most recent build of thebeta forWorld of Warcraft: The War Within, a new login screen featuring a rotating ring surrounding the crackling crust found on the expansion’s logo was discovered.

World of Warcraft: The War Within Login Screen
This new login screen fromThe War Withinbreaks a few traditions frompreviousWorld of Warcraftexpansions. Every other login screen features a gate, archway, or other similar structure in it. While the ring of Earthen architecture is somewhat gate-like, it does not appear to be an in-game location like all of its predecessors were.
Every World of Warcraft Login Screen In Chronological Order
So far, fans are divided on this new login screen. Many players enjoy its simplicity and believe the screen will allow for a cohesive theme during the rest ofthe Worldsoul Saga inWorld of Warcraft. Some also pointed out that it bore a striking resemblance to theHearthstonemain menu, and got a kick out of these similarities between them.
That said, there are a lot of players who aren’t happy withThe War Within’s new login screen as it is now. These fans believe it to be somewhat plain and don’t find it as eye-catching as previous login screens. Similarly, they are sad to see the gateway tradition set byWorld of Warcraft’s last two decades seemingly come to an end in this expansion. That said,World of Warcraft: The War Withinreleases on August 26, so it could still change between now and then.
