Summary

• Scourge Invasions will persist in WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 8, providing players with fresh challenges and rewards.
• Earlier uncertainty arose from PTR builds that omitted the event; these were clarified by a statement from Josh Greenfield confirming the event’s continuity.
• The latest update for the season introduces new content on April 8 and a raid on April 10.

World of Warcraft Classic has confirmed that Scourge Invasions will continue during Season of Discovery Phase 8. There was confusion about whether the World of Warcraft activity would remain in the new update; however, fans can rest assured that Scourge Invasions will be active post-April 8.

Scourge Invasions are a world event added in Phase 7, where players confront undead and cultists across various locations, earning valuable gear and items in the process. Originally, it was unclear if the event would conclude after the update, similar to Phase 3’s Nightmare Incursions.

“I keep seeing chatter about Scourge Invasions being removed in 1.15.7/Phase 8. This is not a real thing. The PTR sometimes has different configurations than live servers will have. Invasions aren’t going anywhere on Tuesday.”

This situation likely stemmed from certain builds of the Public Test Realm lacking the Scourge Invasions, leading to fan speculation about their removal from WoW Classic for Phase 8. Greenfield reassured players that the event would remain part of the game.

Ultimately, the consistency of Scourge Invasions is beneficial. This world activity adds a dynamic aspect to content in Season of Discovery, presenting unique challenges and incentives that enhance player engagement. Observations suggest that World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery Phase 8 might be the last one, making it vital that such a beloved feature remains intact for this climax.
