World of Warcraft's Plunderstorm is back for another go from January 14 to February 18. If you've got no idea what I'm talking about, let me explain—Blizzard put a pirate Fortnite in their MMO. Why? Well, for the most part, the company's making an attempt at branching out and evolving its existing game systems—having a little experiment, as a treat. The second part is that it's a good bit of fun to grab some pirate swag.
As mentioned in a Blizzard news post, this season of swashbuckling gives new points of interest, mob spawn camps, and makes it so that all non-elite enemies will respawn, which is great news for folks who don't know the map like the back of their hand or—and yes, they do exist—are annoyed that they have to PvP in an entirely optional game mode.
