Battleground Holidays and Realm Adjustments, Patch 8.3 Hotfixes - March 9, 2020

Battleground Holidays and Realm Adjustments – March 10

With the WoW Classic 1.13.4 patch, Battleground Holidays will begin. Each of these lasts for about 4 days, during which players will earn additional Honor and Reputation in a specific Battleground. Battleground holidays start at 12:01 a.m. realm time:

• Warsong Gulch: March 13, April 10, May 8, June 5, etc.
• Arathi Basin: March 20, April 17, May 15, June 12, etc.
• Alterac Valley: April 3, May 1, May 29, June 26, etc.

In order to have players from different realms in agreement on whether or not a Battleground Holiday is active, with maintenance tomorrow, we will divide all realms in the Americas into two battlegroups by timezone: Eastern Time and Pacific Time.

This will primarily affect the Latin American Spanish realm Loatheb and the Brazilian Portuguese realm Sul’thraze, which will both be placed in the Eastern timezone. Players on adjusted realms will see the in-game clock “Realm time” change over to the timezone of the battlegroup.

This change will have no impact on the Oceanic realms, as they already have their own battlegroup.

Thank you!

Lol you No Changes zealots are so out of whack you even think a bug fix is some kind of change. Put your tinfoil hat away, mate.

Or better yet just remove Ashran as it is a terrible battleground ever created.

Nope. Wintergrasp is the worst.

[AlmightyGerkin]

Nope. Wintergrasp is the worst.

At least that one is faster.

[Timewalker]

Thank fuck for that Ashran fix.

[barrsftw]

Wrecking Ball in SS vs TM? Lmao, good luck even being able to use 20 abilities, let alone get 20 killing blows.
