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!

    Holy crap this is awesome.

    Hopefully they can be talked down from the 'limited time only' nonsense though. This stuff needs to be permanent!

    Now the question is: Will we get an updated T1 in HD? HD Bananadin has always been a personal dream

    ptr testing wont take 2 months 1 month at best theres nothing that needs to be tested that cant be done in the beta also we'll know for sure at gamescon, considering they have yet to do a pre xpac patch that didnt screw everything up anyway

    The anniversary is in November, so ya WoD will be out by then.
    Supposedly:
    Start date: 11/17/2014
    End date: 12/01/2014

    That's obviously encompassing a time where WoD is out, even if you are one of the people that think its post blizzcon.
    Doesn't reveal much that they didn't say a specific level, but if that range of time is true, I will be very happy.
    Three full weeks!

    This is just a fun treat they are letting us partake in for a limited time to commemorate 10 yrs of WoW. I wouldn't treat it as canon.

    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.
    No. The anniversary is near the end of November. Secondly many are suggesting an October release so if it takes you over a month to level, well you must really take your time
