It was not just an enjoyable challenge for players

World of Warcraft is reintroducing the Mage Tower when its 9.1.5 patch is released later in the year. It will be included in the game's WoTLK Gold feature, a time-limited event that lets players play games from previous expansions and gain gear that is upgraded to the appropriate level. The event runs for a week each month and is always themed around a new expansion. World of Warcraft patch 9.1.5 is also expected to provide a significant amount of requests from players for changes in the game.
When 9.1 was released at the end of June the patch was met with mixed responses by members of the WoW community. Some felt it was a pity that content included in the patch was too little when it took more than seven months to complete and didn't contain many of the changes to quality-of-life that users felt World of Warcraft needed during the period of. Since the patch, Blizzard has worked to restore trust in players by creating 9.1.5 mostly focused on user feedback, with some of the changes being removed in recent times. references to WoW.
In a recent posting in the World of Warcraft forums, the community manager Kaivax revealed the return of the Mage Tower in the event that Legion timewalking is added with patch 9.1.5. Mage Tower Mage Tower was highly praised when it was released during World of Warcraft: Legion's 7.2 patch, which offered an array of challenges for all classes in the game. In addition to the challenges, it gave players with cosmetic skins for their weapons, but they are no longer available. The reason Blizzard offers these non-available items is that it does not want to reduce players' achievements from when cosmetics were first offered.
Instead colored, recolored World of Warcraft: Legion expansion armor sets will be handed out as well as druids transformed into a new form. Anyone who completes each challenge will receive with a flying mount, known as The Soaring Spelltome. Once the event is live and runs for two weeks before it is cycled back into the regular rotation Blizzard utilizes with its expansions for timewalking. Six expansions are in the timewalking rotation, this means that players will be able to test their skills at the Mage Tower's plethora of challenges.
In the event that The Mage Tower was shut down during Battle For Azeroth's pre-patch, players were unhappy by Blizzard's decision. It was not just an enjoyable challenge for players but it was also one of the few pieces of single-player content that the game had to provide. It's not the first time Blizzard has taken content off the market completely also. A number of beloved questlines, like the famous Angrathar the Wrathgate questline, were removed in the course of time.
Although it's disappointing that the cosmetic skins for weapons aren't coming back, Blizzard appears to be trying to regain trust from players through WoTLK Classic Gold as a method to keep the content that is not available anymore. Additionally numerous requests from players are being made in WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Classic updates. It is my hope that this is just an initial step towards Blizzard listening to feedback from players more often than they did before.
