Scouge Invasion Event for WotLK Announced!

Well, “announced” in a relative senseI suppose. Earlier this evening there was a brief post on the US general WoW forums which strongly points to the second coming of the scourge invasion event.

If people chose to get rid of the runes, that’s certainly their choice. I can understand wanting to free up bank space, certainly, particularly over the space of time.

Many people playing now never had the chance to get those runes, and if you have none you’re right on par with them.

But I don’t lie when I say the Necrotic Runes are going to have a use again… quite soon.

For those of you who did not get to participate the first scourge event let me catch you up. When Naxxaramas was released pre-BC Blizzard instituted a brief scourge invasion event immediately prior to the opening of the dungeon. This invasion spanned all continents and zones, there were invasion points in every zone…even low level and mid range zones (the mob’s level scales accordingly).

Killing these invasion forces allowed you to complete various quest and other objectives for the Argent Dawn’s cause, which in turn would award you various rewards, some novelty items such as tabards, but others including epic armor, large slot bags, trinkets, etc. Nothing in the event is all that difficult, but it will be great to see such a unique and world spanning event once again in WoW.
