Are you ready to feel old? World of Warcraft has now been around for 19 years!
Starting today and running through December 7th, you can celebrate WoW’s 19th Anniversary in game with some special limited-time content and rewards.
Check your mail for an Invitation from the Timewalkers, which will lead you to Chromie in the Caverns of Time. There you’ll be able to purchase a variety of new items with Timewarped Badges as well as enjoy some fireworks, past cinematics from the game, and a live performance by The Tauren Chieftains.
There are daily quests in the Caverns of Time that reward Timewarped Badges. You’ll also be able to fight some classic bosses, including Lord Kazzak, Azuregos, and the Dragons of Nightmare. A weekly quest to fight Doomwalker has a chance to reward a toy or a mount.
There’s a special battleground available for the event as well: Korrak’s Revenge, a throwback to the original Alterac Valley that rewards Timewarped Badges and a faction-specific mount.
You’ll also receive an item that will increase your experience and reputation gains by 19% for the duration of the event.

New Histoians have joined ithe party: Wolfgang, Gnai, and Cortagosa. They’ve improved the chronocrystal display near the historians and offer a wider range fo past cinematics to view from Classic World of Warcraft to Dragonflight.
In addition, quest givers Historian Llore and Historian Ju’pa will have two daily quests that give players a chance to earn additional Timewarped Badges either by answering World of Warcraft trivia or by defeating some familiar foes. For this year, they’ve gone into their archives and have added some new history questions to quiz players on the daily quest, “A Time to Reflect.” Collectors will also have a chance to pick up a few pieces of classic loot from defeating them.

It’s been 19 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 the new Azure Worldchiller mount.
In addition, players could also have a chance at the following rewards:
