Blizzard has announced a short PTR testing window for the first raids of The Burning Crusade Classic, giving players the opportunity to jump back into some of the most iconic PvE content in WoW history.
From December 19 to December 22, players will be able to test Karazhan, Gruul’s Lair, and Magtheridon’s Lair on the Anniversary PTR, helping Blizzard validate encounters, tuning, and potential issues ahead of release.
As usual, Blizzard is actively encouraging player feedback during this testing phase.

- Gruul’s Lair – 25-player raid with High King Maulgar and Gruul the Dragonkiller
