World of Warcraft Reveals When Plunderstorm Will End

World of Warcraft: Plunderstorm will soon come to an end, as Blizzard confirmed that the limited-time battle royale will conclude its initial run on Tuesday, April 30. However, to tide World of Warcraft players over, Blizzard also stated that the reputation gained from taking part in Plunderstorm will be doubled starting with the April 16 weekly maintenance.

Introduced in Patch 10.2.6, Plunderstorm is a 60-player PVP battle royale that has a pirate theme and rewards to match. With the Arathi Basin serving as the battleground, players must loot and plunder their way across the map and take down both NPC enemies and other players looking to claim the top spot. Various items and spells based loosely on World of Warcraft's 13 classes can also be found by killing enemies and looting treasure chests, though their effects and potency will differ. Throughout Plunderstorm's run, Blizzard has also made adjustments to each item and spell in the battle royale and has even hosted a Plunderstorm content creator event.

Though Plunderstorm will soon meet its maker, the battle royale event will have one final sendoff to give players a better chance to claim some exclusive rewards. According to Blizzard, starting on April 16 alongside weekly maintenance, World of Warcraft players who take part in Plunderstorm will earn twice the reputation gained depending on how much plunder was looted in a match. This buff will last until April 30, when Plunderstorm will end its current run. This bonus will be in effect for Solos, Duos, and Trios, and will also be granted upon winning a match. With 40 Renown ranks and 2,500 reputation points needed to level up each rank, World of Warcraft players looking to finish their Renown track will have an easier time earning rewards such as the Plunderlord's attire and the Polly Roger dragon riding mount.

It is not known if any Plunderstorm rewards will return to World of Warcraft in the future, so players looking to claim anything will have until April 30
