Gearing Up to Celebrate 10 Years of World of Warcraft
It looks like the 100v100 battleground won't be sticking around after the event:

Tarren Mill vs. Southshore: The Rematch
If you engaged in PvP early on in WoW, you might have fond memories of—and perhaps a few scars from—the endless tug-of-war between Horde and Alliance players at Tarren Mill and Southshore. To recapture that feeling, we’ll be opening a Team Deathmatch–style Battleground based on that timeless struggle. However, unlike the old days of Tarren Mill vs. Southshore, there will be a clearly defined victor, so you’ll need to work as a team or face crushing defeat.


Molten Core Gets Boosted
Molten Core provided many WoW players with their first taste of WoW raiding. For the anniversary celebration, max-level players will be able to participate in a special 40-player Raid Finder version to relive the experience of hunting down Ragnaros and his minions within his fiery lair. Downing the Firelord will earn you an Achievement and a special Core Hound mount reward (fireproof leg armor not included).





Corgi-licious
Anyone who logs in during the 10-year anniversary event will also be able to claim a feisty, fiery new pet: the Molten Corgi! Just think of the corgi-parade potential when you and your friends summon these wee waddling balls of fire for a walk.


These events and rewards will only be available for a limited time, so make sure to check back with us later for more information on when you can expect to see them in-game. ‘Til then, we’re looking forward to celebrating 10 epic years with you!

    Awesome!

    having Molten Core available and emulating the tarren mill vs southshore battles for the 10 year anniversary is a great call back to the first major Raid and first major pvp experienced by players within wow.

    Wow, that's really cool - The Molten Core content idea is amazing (although LFR is gonna be.. fun..) but the Tarren mill v Southshore thing is AWESOME! Please - PLEASE keep this in the game! Not only do we desperately need a team deathmatch bg but this is just way too insanely nostalgic to remove from the game! Please keep it in!

    Actually, yes they very well could.

    You think this isn't a clever way to get more people to buy the expansion? It won't be available for 90.

    "Buy the expansion and rush through the leveling content that we specifically made unrushable because we want people to enjoy it" isn't exactly "Buy the expansion and play it how we want you to."

    They won't.

    The anniversary is early November. It's not coming out before then. The PTR hasn't even been annouonced yet, let alone anything 6.0 tested. And the PTR always lasts 2 months.

    First: Awesome!

    Second: Why limited? TMvsSS team Deathmatch sounds awesome as hell, I would only do that BG forever. I love team deathmatch as a mode in every game I play in.

    I just want to point out:

    It says MAX LEVEL. If WoD is out then max level is 100. If you don't have WoD then you can't be 100 therefore you cannot queue for it. If WoD isn't out then obviously it will be a level 90 instance. They aren't making two versions. Max level is either 90 or 100, not both.

    You did well, Blizzard. You did well. So glad it wasn't just a downsized Hogger. Can't wait to get that Corehound mount and Molten Corgi. Hope there'll also be a beast with the new Corehound model that can be tamed.

    Well we need to get in there, test it, and then tell Blizzard that we want it for good.

    What a good time to annnounce..... just when the sub numbers were revealed, to pull of their attention :P

    Interesting celebration though, but how will they explain the Alliance being in Southshore again? Or are they gonna use the old Hillsbrad zone?

    This is amazing! 40-person MC raid. Idk if I can handle all the nostalgia!
