WoW retail in China: Events
With less than two months until The War Within’s global launch, MoP Remix will not be accessible on Chinese servers. However, players can expect alternative ways to earn its rewards for free, and more information will come later.
The Plunderstorm Battle Royale event will also return at a later date. Currently, it is unclear if this event will be exclusive to Chinese servers or available in other regions as well.
China-exclusive: The War Within Race to World First prize
For the first time ever, Chinese raiders competing in the Race to World First in The War Within are offered an official prize.
