Blizzard has begun celebrating World of Warcraft's 10th anniversary with a number of in-game events, including the revival of the long-standing battle between Tarren Mill and Southshore in Hillsbrad Foothills and a maximum-level Molten Core raid.

For those simply logging into the game between the anniversary time of Friday, November 21 to Tuesday, January 6, 2015 will be given a feisty, fiery new Molten Corgi to love, pet, and call their own. Cuddle at your own risk. One of WoW’s classic 40-player raids, Molten Core, will also be returning in Raid Finder for level 100 players (average item level 615 required). Making it through the underground gauntlet and defeating Ragnaros will reward players with a Core Hound mount and a Warlords of Draenor Raid Finder–quality helm.

To recapture the feeling of the endless tug-of-war of early WoW PvP, Blizzard are also opening a special Team Deathmatch–style Battleground based on the timeless struggle between Southshore and Tarren Mill. Two different brackets for players to take part in will be available: one for level 90–99 characters and another for level 100. Unlike the old days of Tarren Mill vs. Southshore, this Battleground has a clearly defined victor, so you’ll need to work as a team or face crushing defeat. A win will gain you a shiny new title: either Tarren Mill Terror for the Alliance or Southshore Slayer for the Horde.

What have been your most fondest memories of World of Warcraft? Were you there when the servers first turned on and instantly crashed due to the unexpected turnout? What about the opening of Ah'Qiarji's gates as players poured in from every corner of Azeroth, causing screens to be filled with characters and spontaneous PvP occurring like the good old days.

Let us know your memories of the past, and of course also of the future for the World of Warcraft in the comments below.
