WoW's 10th Anniversary Live in the US and EU
WoW's 10th Anniversary is now live in the US and EU and will last until January 6th. It has a level 100 version of Molten Core, Southshore vs Tarren Mill battleground, a Molten Corgi and some other nice rewards. This year's Celebration Package hasn't turned up in the mail so far, so don't plan on that 10% experience boost.
Molten Core - 40 Player Raid Finder Difficulty
A special level 100 version of Molten Core is back! You can queue for this 40 player Raid Finder experience if you have an item level of 615 or above. Make sure you have some time available when you start, as this is the full Molten Core raid. Blizzard is working on fixing whatever is causing groups to be kicked out of the raid before it is over.
Rewards include an item level 640 helm, mount, pet, and special weapon transmog illusion that isn't consumed on use and works on all non ranged wepaons. The mount and helm are the only guaranteed drops, as the pet appears to have a ~10% drop rate and illusion ~3%.
Watcher has a helpful reminder to stop by Golemagg's window to see Ragnaros!

Southshore vs. Tarren Mill Battleground
This 40v40 battleground lasts an hour or until one faction has 10,000 points. It is a limited time event that could return again every year for the anniversary. The more players you kill without dying in the battleground, the higher a temporary rank you have. The ranks are named after the old PvP titles and do not have any real reward. The higher your rank, the more points a kill gives.
Molten Corgi
The Molten Corgi will arrive in your mail if you log in during this event. This pet has a nice idle animation.
Achievements
You can get a pet, mount, and title from the 10th Anniversary achievements.
