Players Who Entered Mogu’Shan Vaults Receive Temporary Suspensions, World Bosses Arrive Early – MoP Classic

Ahead of the release of Mogu'shan Vaults, Blizzard accidentally released World Bosses, as well as the raid itself. Due to this error, some players were able to enter the raid early and kill some World Bosses, benefitting from their powerful loot.

Mogu'Shan Vaults Raid Overview

As a result, Blizzard has decided to spawn World Bosses earlier than previously announced. World Bosses will now become available along with the Mogu'shan Vaults raid today, July 31st, at 3:00 pm PDT. Unfortunately, for those who entered the raid earlier today, Blizzard has decided to temporarily suspend their accounts for a few hours. This will likely deny many players the opportunity to participate in the race for World First.

World Bosses

Due to an issue earlier today, players were briefly able to encounter World Bosses in Mists of Pandaria Classic ahead of their originally scheduled release. We quickly returned the game to its intended state, and we’re now going to release World Bosses early for everyone. Sha of Anger and Galleon will become available again starting today when the Mogu’shan Vaults raid opens properly at 3:00 p.m. PDT.

Please note: The World Bosses did not have the ability to drop Tier 14 raid gear when they were briefly available earlier today, and they will not drop Tier 14 gear until after the first weekly content reset following the release of the Heart of Fear raid. We advise players to not use bonus rolls on Sha of Anger unless you’re hoping for PvP gear. Again, Sha of Anger will not drop any PvE gear until the first weekly content reset following the Heart of Fear raid.

Mogu’Shan Vaults

Due to the same bug earlier today, the Mogu’shan Vaults raid was briefly accessible to players before being closed, and a very small group of players were able to kill bosses inside. To address this, we’ve identified all of the accounts that gained early access to the raid and were found to have killed a boss, and all have been temporarily suspended. The suspensions are long enough to keep them out for a few hours—a timeframe that will include the first clears of Mogu’shan Vaults.

We take fair play seriously. We believe that this is a case where the open raid was clearly unintended, and those who exploit such situations should gain no advantage from doing so.
