Where this month, and for a limited time, classic Raid encounters from Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and Cataclysm are set to live in World of Warcraft. Apparently Chromie has worked her time magic to make this happen and completing all three will award players with...

Obsidian Worldbreaker, a Black Dragonflight mount inspired by Deathwing.


The throwbacks don't stop there as Blizzard is also planning a return to Alterac Valley with the Korrak’s Revenge Battleground. The description definitely sounds like it's channeling the Alterac of old - "Run down your enemies, raze their fortifications, and exchange the tokens you loot from their corpses to summon mighty reinforcements."

Mount rewards will be awarded here too with one for each faction - Stormpike Battle Ram for the Alliance and the Frostwolf Snarler for the Horde.

And for anyone that logs in during the anniversary event - which is live from now until January 7 - there's a Lil’ Nefarian battle pet in it for you. A pocket-sized Lord of Blackrock.
