I do believe the event is 20+
I remember that being a thing when they announced it like a month ago.
Is it really this Tuesday? Says it starts 16th, it is that just the tw raid and anniversary?*TLDR: If you queue with XP-OFF in the new BG on Tuesday, everyone will be in the same queue! If you want to do the other BGs, you MUST PARTY SYNC! Use the communities below to do that!*
With the 15th anniversary event coming this Tuesday, I thought it would be nice to get in on the BG action with my XP-OFF toons that have been collecting dust these past 7-8 months. The good news is, now we can ALL get in on the action! With the new party sync mode, everyone from any bracket can ALL play together!
Everyone, please vote for ONE XP-OFF bracket to sync to (remember, party sync only scales down, not up), then go join one of the communities below, grab your friends, sync up, and queue for ALL the BGs!
Here's a link to what's in store for the new BG.

If you have any questions about how/why to party sync for this, ask in the thread or DM me. I hope to see some epic premades come out of this! For the Alliance!
Here are the communities for Horde & Alliance to help people group up regardless of bracket.

It seems that you won't have to resubscribe to play this, because certainly they're going to have to use templates for this event, which should be that any trial account with a 45-minute investment to level to 20 should be able to participate.
Both links have been updated in this post and OP. They will not expire. Please use these to get groups rolling!

Yes templates are back. I have used party sync to play a lvl 75 DK in the lvl 20-29 bracket, and all my stats were based on a template.
Given that everyone is being moved to lvl 60, id say this is 100% true.Roger that; that much we knew. What I was saying was, since we know they're using templates in party sync already, it's a solid bet they'll be using templates for everyone in the upcoming event.

Looking forward to spending the first BG frantically remapping my keybinds.
My guess is everyone will be templated at level 60, yes.If you are level 60, what do you suppose happens? You are still 'templated'?
why use any of our locked toons if a throwaway will get the account wide rewards anyways.
Oh absolutely, I think that is spot on. The next question will be whether they disable enchants as well. And if so, then better dust off your XP-Locked 60s, cos since they won't be scaled, I would be willing to bet that a fully twinked 60 will steamroll in the XP-OFF BGs, but not the leveler BGs (since as soon as you lvled to 61, you would be templated).
Good point. In my opinion, if anyone still has level 60 locked twinks lying around, they deserve the advantage, and more power to them. As long as there is as many of them on my team as on the other team.
