WoW: What events will we get at the 16th anniversary of WoW?

Every year, the anniversary event in World of Warcraft gladdens our hearts with special goodies and, for some years now, special events. However, as we recently reported, this year's event overlaps with the postponed WoW Shadowlands release, so the developers have simply moved the event up.

• Start of the 16th WoW anniversary: November 1, 10 a.m.
• End of the 16th WoW anniversary: November 24.

What events will we get at the 16th WoW Anniversary?

WoW is turning 16 - and everyone is celebrating. Last year, Chromie manipulated "Azerothan" time and created time-walking raids, allowing us to relive iconic bosses in WoW history like Kael'thas Sunstrider, Lady Vashj, The Lich King, and even Nefarian.

But what events will there be this year? WoWHead recently reported that Korrak's Revenge and Doomwalker himself are rumored to be playable (again) soon. The following hotfixes of the last hours are responsible for this:

• The Alliance and Horde achievement The Old-ractal is now account-wide: this means that progress on multiple characters will contribute to earning this achievement.
• The maximum level of Korrak's Revenge has been lowered from level 120 to level 50, which could be an indicator of an eventual return.
• According to dataminers, you can now accept the Doomwalkin' Has Come Knockin' quest from Chromie herself, sending Doomwalkers to the eternal hunting grounds every week for 150 badges of time-walking justice.

A new cape for the 16th birthday

As reported on Reddit recently by a Korean player, a new cape has been added to Historian Ma'di's repertoire. To all appearances, therefore, there should not be a new mount. Also, unsurprisingly, the 16 percent experience buff will also be active.

The event will also start on the European servers soon - we will keep you updated accordingly.

All readers get free daily news, articles, guides, videos and podcasts about World of Warcraft, Pokémon Go and other favorite games. Up until now, we've funded this site through advertising and kept it as free of paid articles as possible, but since COVID-19, that's become increasingly difficult. Many companies are cutting or eliminating their advertising budgets for 2020. Budgets that we unfortunately have to rely on if we want to continue offering buffed free of charge in the future in the form we're used to.

That's why we're turning to you now. You can support us as buffed supporters so that we can continue to offer our content free of charge in the usual form without introducing a paywall or publishing misleading news. Every contribution, big or small, is valuable. Support buffed - it only takes a minute.

We thank you in advance
