Classic Bosses to Celebrate

It’s been 18 years since the gates opened into Azeroth, and the heroes of the Horde and Alliance began their journey of discovery and adventure. To celebrate this momentous occasion, some familiar foes have returned to Azeroth—with some slightly updated abilities. Players level 30 and above can take on Lord Kazzak, Azuregos, and one of the four Dragons of Nightmare each day for some loot and Timewarped Badges.

You’ll also be able to do a little Timewalking to take on the Doomwalker with the weekly quest, “Doomwalkin’ Has Come Knockin” for Timewarped Badges and a chance at additional rewards, including the Doomwalker Trophy Stand toy or Illidari Doomhawk mount.

In addition, players could also have a chance at the following rewards:

Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who has continued to make their home in Azeroth. You represent the best aspects of the Horde and the Alliance, and you inspire and motivate us every day. We’re looking forward to sharing many, many more adventures with you in the years to come.

Anyone have any info on old AV leveling speed, i know in past it's been stupidly fast and easy.

As much a party animal Chen Stormstout is, even he wasn't there for any of the celebrations. The rest of the Pandaren - in all their "ignorance is bliss" attitude until the very ground beneath them started to crumble - clearly were very content not to be part of the rest of the world.

To be fair, Chen was actually one of the few Pandaren who traveled around the world before mists surrounding Pandaria disappeared. He was one of those born on that giant turtle, a different group of Pandaren from those who were isolated on the continent and unaware of what was happening around the world.

And he wasn't there for any of the celebrations. That's saying something.
