I'm not exactly certain when the event is functioning

To be clear, this is not happening in the live version of the WOW TBC Classic Gold game but on its public test servers. It is here that Blizzard evaluations upcoming modifications to the game, such as the coming level cap squish (maximum level players will only be level 50, with all the new level cap being 60 if Shadowlands releases) and the overhauled new participant experience. Butsometime later this autumn, this event will launch on live servers--and if it is anything like what is happening now, it'll be a bloodbath.I'm not exactly certain when the event is functioning as intended. Right now, Stormwind is completely overrun with ghouls which are rampaging through the streets and slaughtering everything that moves. The auction house, vendors, and even the lender are unusable--which may be frustrating for gamers who, when the event is really reside, are only trying to go about their day to day business.
On the WoW subreddit, players also have found ways to attract the zombie infestation out of capital cities, making whole areas of Azeroth uninhabitable. It's funny to realize how much this mirrors a real zombie plague, as slain players and NPCs both transform into ghouls so their numbers are constantly growing.
Fortunately, WoW game developer Jeremy Feasel confirmed the zombie invasion part of the event is only going to be active for a few hours throughout the day instead of all the time. I'm actually a bit disappointed with that, honestly, because I believe it would be interesting to see yet another all-out, 24/7 invasion that gamers have to attempt to contain--something akin to World of Warcraft's infamous Corrupted Blood incident.
Players can also venture into the frigid wastes of Northrend to battle bosses and make strong loot, and there's also a new narrative quest to try .
If you're a WoW subscriber, you can check all of this out now by following these steps to get the public test server. Otherwise, you can wait until the event inevitably starts sometime in the forthcoming months. But now that it's about the PTR, it'll likely be occurring sooner rather than later
Since publishing our initial story, YouTuber and Reddit user'KokushiGG' has posted a new video showing off Ray Traced Shadows from the zones in the expansion. You'll find down the buy TBC Classic Gold video below. Like yesterday's screenshots, we can see the gap in Shadows is quite minimal with all the newest feature enabled. Allowing Ray Traced Shadows, however, will seem to greatly affect operation with FPS dropping from 120FPS into 60FPS in some instances.
