World of Warcraft players who subscribe for six or more months at a time can get some in-game items for both modern and classic.

When is Plunderstorm Live in World of Warcraft?

  • Before the end of January 14, after “unexpected problems” are resolved

Fortunately, World of Warcraft were able to bring their normal servers back online in the meantime. Players eagerly awaiting Plunderstorm can freely log in and complete their Siren Isle weekly papers, starting their second week of World of Warcrafts Turbulent Timeways event, or do other activities in The war within.

The second round of Plunderstorm in World of Warcraft adds a few new features, such as the Plunderstore and a game event interface that can seemingly be accessed when logged into a character. It is possible that these features were the cause of these unexpected problems, so hopefully, World of Warcraft can sort them out quickly so fans can start looting again.

Fortunately, the game mode lag hasn't stopped World of Warcrafts new Plunderstorm Twitch Drops from being available right now. Players who watch four hours of any Twitch streamer in World of Warcraft category before February 4 at 10 PST can earn Coward's Azure Target back transmog. The chosen content creator doesn't actually need to play Plunderstorm to progress on the Drop, meaning fans are free to start earning this item while they wait for World of Warcraft to start game mode.
