Completing all of these will pop the A Cool Twenty Years meta-achievement, rewarding the Coldflame Tempest mount at the same time.

Blackrock Depths returns to the fore as a new raid dungeon and all of the iconic Tier 2 armor sets are available to earn again, alongside some fresh designs for newer classes. Players are also able to Timewalk through Classic dungeons and play special events like Mount Mania, for glory and the new Bronze Celebration Token currency.

As well as all the fun new content on offer, Blizzard has simultaneously rolled out some significant changes to class balancing and quality-of-life more generally. These particularly affect Hero Talents, with the development team keen to bring underutilized options back into relevance.
