World Of Warcraft Celebrates 17 Years With Classic Bosses And Battlegrounds

Note: Activision Blizzard is still under investigation by the state of California for serious harassment charges.

World of Warcraft is turning 17 years old this month, and Blizzard is commemorating its almost-adulthood with the usual slew of events and prizes. While the celebration is live from November 15 to December 6, players can log in to receive an achievement and Anniversary Gift Package, which includes 200 Timewarped Badges, an invitation to a quest, fireworks, and an item that increases XP and rep gains by 17%. You can also do daily quests from Historian Llore and Historian Ju’pa to earn additional Timewarped Badges, while Historian Ma'di has a number of consumables, pets, and toys available for purchase.

Classic bosses have returned to WoW, with players level 30 and up being able to take on Lord Kazzak, Azuregos, and one of the four Dragons of Nightmare every day. The Doomwalker is also awaiting your challenge and can drop the Doomwalker Trophy Stand toy or Illidari Doomhawk mount.

There's also Korrack's Revenge, a battleground billed as "The Alterac Valley of Olde," where you can earn the Stormpike Battle Ram (Alliance) and the Frostwolf Snarler (Horde) mounts. Or if you just want to hang out with friends and chill with some Khadgar-ball Soccer, you can do so in the Caverns of Time.
