World of Warcraft: New Events to Celebrate WoW's First Decade

Blizzard Entertainment has taken the wraps off of the first events that will usher in World of Warcraft's 10th anniversary this November. Players will be able to take part in a new PvP experience built around the classic Southshore vs Tarren Mill struggle, gain a new Core Hound mount and snag a Molten Corgi pet simply for logging into these first events.
This November marks the 10-year anniversary of World of Warcraft, and we’re cooking up a few in-game plans to commemorate the occasion. Here’s a quick preview of what’s in store:
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 all of these events and goodies in-game. ‘Til then, we’re looking forward to celebrating 10 epic years with you!

Too bad the Southshore/Tarren mill battle ground won't be half the fun the open world version was back in the day.
fond memories (with rose coloured glasses of course)

Also, if the event is through the whole month of November, that leaves WoD to be launched in December...
And here is the Core Hound mount from the event:

This have been a good conversation
As i posted in another thread, this is prob the best 10 year in game event of any 10 year MMO.
The BG will also be 100 vs 100.
Looking forward to that rematch in TM. But I'm sure it will be more fair this time then when 60s were hunting lowbies.
Molten Core... seen that way too many times in my day. But I might give it a shot.
I was contemplating resubbing for a month the other day, but just could not bring myself to do it.
I keep the client updated, but could not even finish the last expansion, of course it did not help that someone has stripped the entire account naked during the prior year layoff.
I had fond memories of all those 40 man molten core raids, but when you get down to it, getting 40 people in the same place at the same time is just absurd.
Wow is on the downhill slide and I have no idea what will replace it. If only there were a developer out there who design an updated SWG like game, it would not have to use the IP, but it would need to use all the sandbox elements.
I wish Blizzard luck, but I think their baby is finally feeling it's age.
I know the cool thing is to hate on WoW but holy cow, a multi-million subscriber MMO that was able to keep its sub-base so high for a decade? It is truely amazing. Before WoW, no one even dreamed of getting 10 million subbers. SWG and EQ had less than a million in their prime.
I dont play it anymore but from a business point of view the product and marketing that Blizzard has created is simply amazing. People on the forums throw all kinds of hate at it but WoW and its success created the dream that allowed so many other MMO's to get created. Without its success, there would be a lot less money being invested in MMO's today.
Pretty sure they said they would never do anything like that again because of the early ones pissing too many people off because they couldn't focus on their precious questing. lol
There is supposedly going to be an invasion through the dark portal for the xpac event, similar to BC.
my top MMOs: UO,DAOC,WoW,GW2
most of my posts are just my opinions they are not facts,it is the same for you too.
I think it will be "new" level 90 raid.
Molten core - many many hours spent farming those elite Dragon kin for Black Dragscales so I could craft fire resist gear.
Southshore & terren mill - constant back and forth 24/7, as was ashenvale and barrens, when I started in vanilia I was in ashenvale and got a random invite to 40 man group many hours later I knew WoW would stay with me for a loooooong time.
Good times.
I never bothered With Molten Core 40man Raiding.
But Yeah... Southshore, Tarren Mill, Ashenvale, CrossRoads, the Capital cities. My oh my.... those were the good old days of Open World PVP Madness!
Not to mention the Alterac Valley battleground that could go on for days lol. Fun fun!
this, miss the ICE Lord.
AV with reinforcements is a joke. They even havent patched it to match it to a 10-minute cycle.
old AV battles lasting hours were epic.
