When\u00a0World of Warcraft\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>first released in 2004, no one expected the MMORPG based on\u00a0Warcraft’s\u00a0<\/em>RTS roots to take over the genre in a short amount of time. Over a decade later, this MMO titan still reigns supreme in the face of other competitors just as\u00a0Shadowlands <\/em>prepares to release<\/a> later this month. But before players can step into the new expansion, they can first celebrate\u00a0World of Warcraft’s\u00a0<\/em>16th anniversary.<\/p>\n

Although every year brings new adventures, the everchanging nature of WoW\u00a0<\/em>means previous content is often skipped over until players vastly outscale it or even removed from the game. However, each anniversary\u00a0celebrates the older days of Azeroth with the\u00a0most recent ones even reviving original content that has been changed or gone for years. This time, the 2020 celebration will last from November 1st to November 22nd and features everything players are familiar with from past anniversaries.<\/p>\n

Upon taking control of any of their characters, players will find an Anniversary Gift Package containing 200 Timewarped Badges and a Celebration Package. Using the item will grant the character a 16-percent increase to all experience and reputation gains until the event ends. While this reputation bonus comes on the heels of losing 100-percent increased reputation for\u00a0BfA\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Legion<\/em><\/a>, it does work on all reputations regardless of expansion. Furthermore, the increased experience will make leveling to 50 even faster than usual considering the recent pre-patch already sped things up.<\/p>\n

Originally introduced during\u00a0World of Warcraft’s\u00a0<\/em>15th anniversary, the first version of Alterac Valley returns once again.\u00a0Players who used this\u00a0Classic<\/a><\/em>\u00a0battleground last year to level many alts will be disappointed to hear that the experience for each match has been significantly nerfed. On the other hand, various side objective are still available and give Timewarped Badges upon completion. Gathering 200 badges through these quests will award players with the Alterac Valley of Olde achievement along with a Stormpike Battle Ram or Frostwolf Snarler mount.<\/p>\n

While the original set of world bosses in\u00a0World of Warcraft<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>were removed prior to\u00a0Cataclysm<\/em>, they have once again returned to their original locations for the next 3 weeks. Players can complete a weekly quest that awards 150 Timewarped Badges for killing all 3 of them. Note that they may also drop ilvl 85 loot that can warforge up to ilvl 95 on the first kill each day.<\/p>\n
