This Month in WoW – March 2016

March 1st by Kaivax

Winter is passing, and the third month of the year marches upon us. There’s much to see and do, and we have our eye on what the community's up to, too. In this March edition of This Month in WoW, we want to not only highlight some of the in-game activities for this month, but also spotlight some exciting esports and community events and creations.

Did You Know?

March 25, 2016 marks the 8th anniversary of the release of Patch 2.4, which brought the Isle of Quel’Danas, Magister’s Terrace, and Sunwell Plateau to World of Warcraft. Inside Magister’s Terrace, the ominous Kael’thas Sunstrider awaited players’ company with a memorable quote:

Don't look so smug! I know what you're thinking, but Tempest Keep was merely a setback. Did you honestly believe I would trust the future to some blind, half-night elf mongrel?
