Mage Tower

When people think back to Shadowlands and what they remember most, the Jellycat will be one aspect that stands out.

The Mage Tower was one of the more popular features from the Legion expansion, but it was still a surprise when the World of Warcraft development team announced its return to coincide with Legion Timewalking.

One of the big announcements for Shadowlands patch 9.1.5 was the return of the Mage Tower challenge alongside Legion Timewalking.

If you're working on the Mage Tower in Shadowlands and you've been eyeing the clock, worried you won't get it done before Legion Timewalking ends, you just got a good deal more time.

It was only through rampant anti-Spelltome propaganda from people with sinister motives that we ended up with a walking tree mount, so we're glad to see the Soaring Spelltome mount coming to World of Warcraft this week, when Legion Timewalking returns the Mage Tower challenges to the game.

The long-awaited Legion Timewalking, which includes some unique Timewalking activities that you'll only find during Legion Timewalking, finally comes to World of Warcraft today.

World of Warcraft Shadowlands patch 9.1.5 is now live, and with it will come Legion Timewalking and the return of the Mage Tower for two weeks starting on December 7th, but the Mage Tower gets an additional two weeks on top of that, and will close with maintenance in the first week of January.

I mean, not just Torghast -- I feel like the return of Legion's Mage Tower in patch 9.1.5 and the Horrific Visions from Battle for Azeroth should also have taught them a few things -- but I'm definitely curious what you guys think the Torghast (and to a lesser extent, the Maw and Korthia) experience should teach Blizzard about making soloable content for players.

Players have wanted the Mage Tower from Legion back ever since it went away at the end of that selfsame expansion, and now Blizzard has confirmed that Mage Tower challenges are returning patch 9.1.5.

With the tantalizing possibility of the Mage Tower returning during Legion Timewalking, I immediately started thinkng about other gameplay elements that were once big and which fell out of favor in later World of Warcraft expansions.
