180 is 10110100 in binary.
+1111111111 has 10 "1", corresponding to the number of switches.

Direct conversion to ascii leads to gibberish.

The long strings agree in most of their digits:
011010111001011010010110
011010010110100111010110
101101010010101110010110

Looking up 11873174, I found some more context:
- the previous riddle was an anagram, and it was completely different in different language versions
- the numbers are different for different language versions. Here is an overview. English, Russian and French are identical, German, Spanish and Italian begin identical but then deviate. Chinese is different.

Apparently we are looking for something that translates to text. The long strings could separate words., and the 8+5 combinations could be individual letters. 180 and +1111111111 are the same in all versions.

At this point, it looks like we would need WoW knowledge. Are there suitable names for monsters or locations that fit to the patterns seen in the language versions?

How about taking each group of 8 bits and convert each byte to its equivalent ASCII letter. There might be a phrase or message with the sequence along with the bits that are not eight bits wide

See above: Direct conversion to ascii leads to gibberish. Most of the bytes are not even letters in ascii.
