Summary
WithWorld of Warcraft Remix: Mists of Pandariaending soon, Blizzard has revealed the minutiae of what will happen to their Timerunners once the event concludes. After August 19, characters will be teleported to their faction capital, given a set of modest endgame gear, and stripped of most of their currencies, soWorld of Warcraftfans should be sure to prepare accordingly.
WoW Remix: Mists of Pandariais a throwback event where players experience the 12-year-old expansion with overpowered abilities, endless progression, and modern convenience. Fans can blitz through the eastern-themed expansion, scoring achievements, heightened reputation gains, and rare cosmetics, such as the elusiveTusks of Mannoroth fromWoW’s Siege of Orgrimmar raid.
Unfortunately,WoW Remix: Mists of Pandariais a limited-time event. On August 20 at 7 AM PDT, theWorld of Warcraftgame mode will shut down, and all Timerunners will be transformed into normal characters. To help players prepare for the transition,World of Warcraftreleased a guide for what happens to their characters. Most items will be removed during the conversion process, which may take several minutes upon login for each Timerunner. While characters will receive a set of bags and starting gear of a modest strength for their level, all currencies except gold will be removed, so fans will want to spend their Bronze, Lesser Charms of Good Fortune, and Timeless Coins before they are lost forever.
Though they may lose their currencies, the blog made no mention of losing reputation, so fans can expect to keep any progress they made towardsthe various factions inWorld of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. With a set of large bags and item level 467 gear, ex-Timerunners should be well-equipped to jump right intoThe War Withinwhen it launches the week afterWoW Remixends.
All in all,WoW Remix: Mists of Pandariawas a huge success. While it was not without its problems, the event was popular during its entire run, with players still clearing content in the game mode as it comes to an end. Hopefully,futureWoW Remixevents can learn from its mistakesand improve the concept even further.
