Sweep Across Azeroth Astride Eve’s Ghastly Rider in World of Warcraft

Get swept away as you ride astride Eve’s Ghastly Rider!

Through November 4, 2024, cackle with glee when you pick up the perfect tricky-treating Skyriding mount to haunt the skies of Azeroth!

This magical broom is sure to stir up a fright, so seize yours from the in-game shop before the winds of time blow this mount away. The Eve's Ghastly Rider mount is not available in World of Warcraft Classic games.

Character Restoration Update

Players are now able to restore characters that have been deleted.

Please note that at this time, there is a 60-second delay between each undelete. You will need to refresh the character screen, change realms, or log into a character between each character restored.

On October 15, we will be re-instituting the 7-day cooldown period between character restorations.

Follow along on the official World of Warcraft news site for all the latest developments as we journey through the week together.
