It's World of Warcraft's anniversary! Many thanks from the WoW Dev Team for enjoying the world of Azeroth and beyond with us.
This world event is no longer available in game.
On November 23rd, 2014, it will have been ten years to the day since World of WarCraft's release in 2004. So many things have changed, both inside the game and out, that it's impossible to list them all. Expect to see a surge of websites and blogs given to retrospection for the occasion!
There are two planned special events and a pet for the 10th anniversary. (1) The events will start "in-game on Friday, November 21 and will last until Tuesday, January 6, 2015 at 10 a.m. PST". (2)
100 vs. 100{now 40 vs. 40} battleground. (3) (4) The old data wouldn't work with the special BG, so Blizzard had the original designer, Matt Sanders, create the area a third time with using the Caverns of Time instance as the base. (5, 6, & 7) Holinka has stated that it might be used for each anniversary if all goes well. (8) The related achievements are Victory in Hillsbrad (A) / Victory in Hillsbrad (H).FAQ
*
The match lasts one hour or when a faction reaches 10,000 points.Nov. 21st Hotfix: Now lasts 30 minutes or when a faction reaches 300 points.* Features "team deathmatch-style" PvP.
* The old PvP rank system will be used here, just like in classic WoW, in the form of a buff. Reaching the max rank will award an achievement, but nothing is permanent. (9 & 10)
* There is no time limit. Rather, it functions as a season. (11)
* The area will look the same as the pre-Cataclysm original did. (12)
* No item level restrictions. (13)
* Players will be confined to the area between the two towns. "We want you fighting, not running away." (14)
* Honor will be based on honorable kills, not killing blows. Healers needn't fear. (15)
* "You will lose one rank when you die." (16)
* Illusion: Flames of Ragnaros and Hatespark the Tiny will have a chance to drop.
* Players are guaranteed a Warlords of Draenor RF-quality head piece. They are: Crown of Desolation, Crown of Destruction, Crown of Power, Crown of Woe. Besides their item level, the only notable thing is that there will be -- for a limited time -- a plate and leather version of the model used by Crown of Destruction.
* The denizens of the special version will also grant reputation with the Hydraxian Waterlords. (17)
* There is no loot lockout. (18)
I am hoping for at least a pet. /crossesfingers
IT will be Hogs, A mini Hogger.
That's hardly the Horde players fault. Blizzard Entertainment needs to shake up its writing department.
Anecdote: Most the players I know (as in, interact with outside of the game) are Horde, and they aren't too pleased about all the Horde focus. It makes for a boring story.
edit: this comment was made in reply to comments that have since been deleted.
Molten Corgi will be the 10th anniversary pet.
