The World of Warcraft 20th Anniversary celebrations concluded on Jan. 7, leaving the once-bustling Tanaris desert notably empty. Players have gathered near the Caverns of Time, creating an impromptu community space where the festivities once stood.

The event received widespread praise from the community for its engaging content and rewards. Many players expressed wishes for the celebration to become a permanent fixture in Tanaris, with some suggesting creative transition ideas like having NPCs clean up the festival grounds or leaving behind small mementos of the celebration.

Players continue to gather at the former event location, sharing memories while playing with their newly acquired toys and mounts. The social atmosphere remains strong even after the official celebrations have ended.

For those concerned about unused Bronze Celebration Tokens, Blizzard has confirmed these will be converted to Timewarped Badges in the upcoming Undermine(d) update. This ensures players can still acquire valuable rewards even after the event's conclusion.

The event's legacy lives on through its impact on the community, with players continuing to share stories and maintain the festive spirit through impromptu gatherings at the Caverns of Time. The successful celebration has set a new standard for future World of Warcraft events, combining rewarding gameplay with meaningful community engagement.
