Raider.IO Update - November 2024

Hello and happy November, Patrons! We hope you all had a safe and spooky Halloween, and are gearing up for Winter. Let’s dive right into all the happenings around Azeroth, and make sure you read to the end to learn about a Patron-only GIVEAWAY!

Happy Anniversary Warcraft!

The 20th Anniversary Celebration of World of Warcraft in-game event is LIVE through January 6th, 2025. Check out the festivities right outside the Caverns of Time in Tanaris. Jump right in and earn those fabulous remastered T2 appearances! That Judgement set though... right??

The 30th Anniversary Warcraft Direct took place yesterday on the Warcraft Twitch stream, and ooh was it a doozy. Lots of things were announced for Warcraft, Hearthstone, Warcraft Rumble, WoW Classic and WoW Retail!  

WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria is confirmed, a FRESH new set of WoW Classic Era servers are launching this month, and PLAYER HOUSING is finally coming with the next expansion! They actually did it! Which of the announcements are you most excited for?

WoW Esports Champions Soon to be Crowned!

The Mythic Dungeon International is underway, with Groups A and B having been played over the last two weekends. The dungeoneers are taking a week off before coming back for the MDI Global Finals on November 22nd!

There might not be any MDI action this weekend, but WoW Esports isn't taking any time off, as we're heading into the Grand Finals of the Arena World Championship. The Tournament starts out on Friday with the Gauntlets for both NA and EU. The teams that placed 4th to 8th overall after 4 Cups battle it out for the last qualifying spot in the Grand Finals on Saturday and Sunday.

You can follow along with all of the AWC and MDI action with us at Raider.IO - we'll continue to have LIVE Coverage, Brackets, Highlights, and more!

MDI Dungeon Replay Race - Special Event!

We've partnered with WoW Esports to put on a limited time event, to celebrate a momentous achievement during the MDI this past weekend! Mandatory beat the record for the FASTEST EVER DUNGEON during an MDI competition, completing The Necrotic Wake in a whopping 7:40!

So we're challenging YOU to try and beat that! Load up the special Event Mythic+ Replay set and head into The Necrotic Wake on live servers to race head-to-head against Mandatory. Check out the MDI Replay Race Event Hub to learn more.
