WoW Classic Shadow of the Necropolis – The Scourge Event 15 years ago

As a prelude to the upcoming World of Warcraft Shadowlands expansion, the “The Tide of Death” begins today, Wednesday. A bit later, on December 3, 2020, the first Scourge event will start with the Naxxramas patch 1.13.6. To mark the occasion, we’ve gone through our archives and put together the original event from 2006 in an image gallery for all Classic fans. Have fun with it!

The “Scourge Invasion” was a world event in the patch 1.11 “Shadow of the Necropolis” from June 19, 2006, which heralded the opening of Naxxramas, the citadel of the dreaded Kel’Thuzad. It was later reintroduced into the game with Harbingers of Doom patch 3.0.2 during the Zombie Infestation event in preparation for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion and adjusted to the new level cap of 70. It is also the only non– Season al world event that has ever been repeated.

In the following gallery, we have many images of the original event for you, taken in June and July 2006 on the Cenarion Circle EU server. We start off with some event-related quests that grant various reputation items and weapon upgrades, followed by some impressions of the necropolises that hit areas like Durotar, Tirisfal Glades, Winterspring, and of course the Plaguelands, dropping Scourge rakes of varying strength. Have fun with it!
