Hearthstone’s tavern appears on World of Warcraft’s testing servers

It looks like World of Warcraft is getting a new location inspired by developer Blizzard’s free-to-play digital card game, Hearthstone. A dataminer has been looking at a new 8.2.5. patch update in the game’s Public Test Realm and found something pretty exciting - a Hearthstone tavern location. User Martin Benjamins, a programmer and dataminer, has posted some new WoW findings on his Twitter, including a chest filled with balloons presumably to celebrate the game’s 15th anniversary, Zappyboi and Wrathion character models - and a Hearthstone tavern. He says in the comments that he’s not exactly sure of where it’ll be located in-game, but that “there's a separate map called ‘hearthstone tavern’” and “also a reference to ‘stormwindhearthstone’ on the Assault on Stormwind map”, adding that he’s still trying to work the location out. Benjamins links to site WoW.tools (advising it might take a little while to load) which lets you view the tavern model in full - and it looks great. There’s a roaring fireplace above which sits the unmistakable Hearthstone logo carved in stone, glimmering with blue light. Shields, swords, and barrels (presumably) full of mead adorn its walls and rafters.
