You can queue up for it by pressing "H" and selectingKorrak's Revenge to start the Classic version of Alterac Valley.

Chromie also offers the Soldier of Time weekly quest that we recommendto pick up before queueing up for Korrak's Revenge. In order to complete thequest, you must earn 500 Honor in Korrak's Revenge to get 200 Timewarped Badges and 5 Mark of Honor.

The meta-achievement of the Battleground is Alterac Valley of Oldeand you will earn it by collecting 200 Timewarped Badges, fromquests and participating in Alterac Valley Classic.

The goal is to focus on collecting tokens from enemy corpses to summonmighty reinforcements and help your team claim victory.

Alterac Valley of Olde incorrectly states that it rewardsfaction-themed mounts and a patch is required to fix that on live servers.

You will receive the faction-themed mounts from a bonus objective that popsup when you are inside the battleground. If you did not receive your mount, butcompleted the objective, we advise you to log out of the game and log back in tosee if you received your reward.

Badges earned prior to the November 10 fix will not count as credittoward the quest, and must be re-earned.

Alliance players will get the Stormpike Battle Ram mount.

Horde players can unlock Frostwolf Snarler.
