This November marks the 10-year anniversary of World of Warcraft, and we’re cooking up a few in-game plans to commemorate the occasion. Here’s a quick preview of what’s in store:
Tarren Mill vs. Southshore: The Rematch
If you engaged in PvP early on in WoW, you might have fond memories of—and perhaps a few scars from—the endless tug-of-war between Horde and Alliance players at Tarren Mill and Southshore. To recapture that feeling, we’ll be opening a Team Deathmatch–style Battleground based on that timeless struggle. However, unlike the old days of Tarren Mill vs. Southshore, there will be a clearly defined victor, so you’ll need to work as a team or face crushing defeat.
Molten Core Gets Boosted
Molten Core provided many WoW players with their first taste of WoW raiding. For the anniversary celebration, max-level players will be able to participate in a special 40-player Raid Finder version to relive the experience of hunting down Ragnaros and his minions within his fiery lair. Downing the Firelord will earn you an Achievement and a special Core Hound mount reward (fireproof leg armor not included).
Regardless of anyone's feelings towards WoW, those are pretty much some of the coolest 10 year celebration events I have so far seen in any 10 year MMO celebration. I am curious what more they have planned.
EDIT: It looks like the PVP event is 100 vs 100

I'm almost tempted to reactivate just for the TM/SS battles.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

I'm in the same boat. They know how to tug a heart string. If they made Ice the tanking spec for DK's again and boosted Sunwell to max level, I'd resub again.

Ice was never "the tanking spec for DKs", but I get the gist of what you are saying. DKs having the ability to tank in each spec based on their talent choices in WotLK was very unique. I personally miss tanking as unholy. Bone shield FTW :-)
oh my, what a stament, name an mmo that ran for 10 years.... i am waiting ^^
"believe me, mike.. i calculated the odds of this working against the odds that i was doing something incredibly stupid and i did it anyway!"
Ultima Online is still technically running...
Anarchy Online.
Everquest.
Eve Online
This have been a good conversation
so, 4 games so far, and how many of those do still have more than one million subs?
actually i think there is one of those games which ever had more than 1 million subs ^^
"believe me, mike.. i calculated the odds of this working against the odds that i was doing something incredibly stupid and i did it anyway!"
You asked... I provided... And no none of those games had much of a 10 year celebration so the post you questioned stands...
What sub numbers have to do with it... I do not really understand.
Just simply admit defeat and leave gracefully.

Let's not forget Asheron's Call, Meridian 59, runescape and several other's and Everquest II,Dark Age of Camelot, Lineage 2.

You went from asking for 1 game thats been around 10 years, you get presented with 4 (there are actually more than 4), and your response to that is "oh, well none of those game had over a million subs"???

Technically Meridian 59 actually shut down for a while. Then it was reborn.
Any way a lot of MMO like games are breaking the 10 year barrier, The genre it self could most likley be seen as old enough to get down n dirty... Now that ofc is nothing compared to most other gaming genres.. some closing in on a mid life crisis and most others are expected to have settled down and formed a family.

MC should have been part of the 15 year celebration.
We have returned too soon.
Well i guess they felt it would have been seen as cheap to reuse Naxxramas again... =P
So ol Raggy it is.
Now personally i was sold when i saw the Corgie... It has all the cute and then some awwwwws.

That is surely part of it but all MMOs I seen celebrate at least every 5 years since release with a party and some new gear and content, it is something worth celebrating.
Wow need to do way more if they want to get back most of the players they lost and Blizzard know it, I don't think they can succeed though with less than releasing Wow 2 but then again, I thought EQ2 would be the large one before the games released so I have been wrong before.
WoW will never get back to 12 mil subs, but the game has been in the worst state its ever been in now for close to a year, and they STILL have just under 7 mil subs. WoW is still the big dog with nothing even remotely close to it, and will remain that way for years to come.
Oh the memories!
Why would Blizzard make another MMO or a WoW2? Sometimes I think it would make sense to go on evolving World of Warcraft and, as a virtual and living world, just port it to a new engine, continue with the lore and with story. It would still be World of Warcraft 2, but without branding it. In fact, they've doing this partially, tuning the engine, tweaking the game systems, implementing new textures and models...
It would be great, it would be a real living story, and maybe only Blizzard has the man power and the resource to pull something like that.
