Anniversary Realms Battleground Update

The issue we encountered for the 30 minutes that Battlegrounds were open was thornier than it originally looked. Before we reopen BGs, we’re going to need to do some cleanup that can only be done with realm restarts. We’ll perform those restarts tomorrow, and the timing of them should now be posted in your Breaking News.

Regarding the SoD version of Chronoboons that were briefly available in Alterac Valley, please be advised that these will be rendered functionless on Anniversary realms. They can be ignored.

Chronoboons that are native to Anniversary realms will not be affected.

We apologize for the delay in getting Battlegrounds working properly for everyone, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Thanks for the update. Please give 20s chronoboons on Anniversary Realms to fix the mistake.

Thank you for explaining.
Please ban all the people who knowingly sold these bug exploited boons for masses of gold.

Perfect that cleared up all my concerns. glad you’re here. thanks bud. great job, winning son.

It really sucks that these were set to be opened, right as I got off work, and now they won’t be playable till the start of my work shift tomorrow. So much for being able to not fall behind.

My SoD character lost abilities after being put into AV with Anniversary players. I lost Divine Steed and Seal of Martyrdom. Will this be addressed?

Exactly, and those with world buffs from SoD get to keep them until they gone.

we’ve been waiting all week for the BGs to open, when they do they open for 30 minutes because you guys didn’t bother to QA in the time between maintenance and launch. When they launched we got 30 minutes of play time before we were shut out again. And you can’t be bothered to restart the servers until midday tomorrow? And you couldn’t tell us that until 4 hours after shutting down BGs?! We’ve been patient waiting for this. Getting locked out at this point is just a slap in the face. Maybe make your team that spend tues through thurs not testing stay and earn their check and get this @#$% fixed.

lol so people who bought boons off the ah (either purposefully because they were aware of the situation or by chance because they saw cheap boons and thought they got lucky) are out the gold but people who sold hundreds of them for profit get off scot free? i guess exploit early exploit often is still the motto
