All you need to do to participate is /salute a guard in a capital city. Basically, you get a 24 hour buff that turns your character into a guard (still wielding your weapon). Once you have this buff, you can be attacked by a "City Invader" mob at any time. They scale to whoever spawned them's level. (We had a level 60 with us, so a couple invaders died instantly).

So far, these are the invaders that attack:

Draenei Shaman
Troll Hunter
Gnome Warlock
Undead Priest
Blood Elf Paladin
Tauren Druid (comes in bear form sometimes)
Human Mage
Orc Warrior
Tauren Death Knight
Gnome Rogue

All the invaders are wearing the Tier 2 armor set. The DK is wearing starter quest gear. Also, their specs are random on spawn. Cool addition!

The buff itself has a counter on it, displaying the number of invaders you've slain. You get a mini-title on your buff that can be seen by other players depending on how many you've slain.

The Titles:
10 - Defender of <City Name>
50 - Heroic Defender of <City Name>
220+ and no new title. I think it's safe to assume there's only two.
Edit: 250 - Mythic Defender

Some extra notes:
- Actual city guard mobs do join the fray
- City leaders do not respond to the invaders at all; however, royal guards do
- Invaders are not flagged for PvP
- You do turn into an abomination in Undercity!
- It works in Warspear/Stormshield
- It works on Raethan and his guards in the Dalaran Sewers; however, I did not get any Invaders to spawn
- You can turn into royal guards, too!

Well, we all know how micro-holidays works, but... Would love to have a bit more rewards for this than just pure satisfaction. If not a permament title stated above, maybe a possibility to transmog set of faction we are intrested in? - my dwarf would love to guard Ironforge more than once in a year!
Would make lovely addition to empathize with our characters even more, wouldn't that be great?

Commentaire de HeroOfPixels

To be fair, although you don't get anything, it is called Volunteer Guard Day.

Commentaire de BooJoh

Does not work cross-faction. The smoke animation plays but you don't receive the buff or costume.

Commentaire de Shenron

You can transform as a Gardien arcanique des Clairvoyants

Commentaire de NessieMo

I'll be glad when this micro-holiday's over, my bank alt's just been killed AGAIN, despite not having the /salute buff.

Sigh.

Commentaire de ModishVision

Volunteer Guard day is a Micro-Holiday available for a short period of time
Head to your favorite factions capital and /Salute a city guard and volunteer to defend your city!
Garde bénévole is the buff you gain once you salute

Once you start killing invaders you will get a 24hr buff that has a title that changes depending on how many kills you have
Defender of <City Name> 10 Kills
Heroic Defender of <City Name> 50 Kills
Mythic Defender 250 Kills

It was fun for a short while but i think it loses its charm pretty quickly. It is essentially just standing around outside the AH in the majorly used capitals such as stormwind/ironforge/orgrimmar and casting barrage for me. Although i was a heroic stormwind defender.... so back off ok!

Commentaire de Jikai

For those seeking to become a Pandaren guard, /salute works on the Golden Lotus Defenders in the Vale.

Commentaire de mizziz

Told myself I was going to stop at 400 since there's no reward. But I $%^&ed up the number and got 402 so here I am, working my way to 500.

Edit: I *!@#ed it up again and got 513. I couldn't let this go and finally ended it at the good number of 600.

2nd Edit: I joined a battleground. It was a mistake...

Commentaire de difuz

You lose the buff and the look once you enter a dungeon. Learned it the hard way.

Commentaire de JasperKazai

Most of the named NPC guards I tried to /salute had no effect, but you are able to do it with Chasseresse Coursebrune in Darnassus and get her unique appearance.

Mage gardien du Concordat argenté in Northrend Dalaran work, if you wish to look like a blood elf as Alliance. (Although they're technically high elves, but you get it.) By the same token, Garde gilnéen works for Alliance in Legion's Dalaran.

Garde de Bouclier-des-Tempêtes works, if you want to look like a Stormwind guard without a helmet. So does Officier de Bouclier-des-Tempêtes, which has a cape.

Commentaire de UnstoppableKhaos

Note, the arcane guardian's appearance had its size reduced significantly less than 5 minutes ago.

Commentaire de Cygnius

So I went to Stormwind on my Night Elf, saluted a bunch of guards, they saluted me back, but then I failed to get any buff... Then I went to Darnassus to salute the Night Elven guards, but to no avail, still no buff :(

Commentaire de Phakalyalle

The Big Bruisers in the Lower City of Shattrath are a nice sassy choice. Do a /dance.

Commentaire de 362388

I became the world's only player Panda Death Knight, as I stole the appearance of a Défenseur du Lotus doré in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

Commentaire de FatherRuckus

The real Question is... Do you get anything for all this crap? Like a title or something?

Commentaire de Lager159

If this rewarded a belt, do you know what it would be called? Waist of time

Commentaire de t2teddy

You can drop the buff to take a break and then just salute another guard, watcher, scout etc in any city to reaccept the duty and you do not lose the kill count.

Commentaire de BlizBrokeMe

can confirm there is no reward for 1500 kills. will re-post @ 2k

Commentaire de MacPzesst

Works on Gilnean Guards in new Dalaran. Their run animation is a slow version of the Running Wild mount.

Buff is also removed when entering instances, but you do not lose your kill count. /salute another guard and it reapplies.

Commentaire de Bursi

After you used /salute to a city guard during the micro-holiday event Volunteer Guard Day you'll get transformed into your targeted guard for 24 hours and killing Envahisseur de la villes will give you a temporary title.
The Envahisseur de la villes spawn near players who saluted before and got the buff Garde bénévole (lasts 24h).

10 Envahisseur de la villes: Defender of <City Name>
50 Envahisseur de la villes: Heroic Defender of <City Name>
250 Envahisseur de la villes: Mythic Defender of <City Name>

The costume persists through death, but you'll lose the buff when entering a dungeon. Rightclick removes it.

This works for friendly city guards in:
Horde:

Alliance:

Both factions:

Dalaran (Legion) - Garde gilnéen (Alliance only), Garde réprouvé (Horde only), Raethan
Dalaran (Northrend) - Mage gardien du Concordat argenté
Shattrath - Garde-paix de Shattrath, Gardien arcanique des Clairvoyants, Gros cogneur
Val de l’Éternel printemps - Défenseur du Lotus doré (e.g. at 19.1 64.4 (female) and 19.9 62.2 (male))

This list is still incomplete, feel free to comment further ones :).

Commentaire de Lildaine

Gravil Goldbraid's Famous Sausage Hat will appear in your mouth if used while you're an abomination.

Commentaire de Zarasz

I only get a salute back from guards. Nothing happens. Tried UC and TB and then lost interest.

Commentaire de Tanakila

Can salute Bragor Bloodfist in Undercity in the Royal Quarter next to Sylvanas.

Commentaire de budboy73m

UC abominations are fun........even if they don't dance...

Commentaire de Aurmith

King Anduin Wrynn does indeed appear to react to the City Invaders if they're not instakilled by all the people in the throne room. Given a few seconds to hang about, he will hit them with AOE.

Commentaire de kassia1213

If you switch cities, you keep the previous city's title, but your count starts over.

Commentaire de ElectroInfex

If you salute a female guard, you turn into a female guard. If you salute a male guard, you turn into a male guard.

Commentaire de ElectroInfex

In 2019, this microholiday falls during Noblegarden. If you get polymorphed into a Noblegarden Bunny (by looting eggs) while you're a City Guard, if you remove the Bunny polymorph, you return to being a City Guard. You do NOT have to go back and re-/salute a guard.

Commentaire de biggbyte

A random boss encounter would make this event a lot of fun. Also would love to see an achievement added to these micro-events.

Commentaire de Posh

Just adding to the conversation,

You can go to multiple cities, and stack multiple titles...
it would be interesting to find out if someone goes to all the cities, and gets heroic or mythic in each city, for all the cities, if its some sort of FOS or you get a hidden reward, since it appears no one else has thought of this Submitting a small screenshot of the mouseover text as proof... I don't know if it will make it as approved.

Commentaire de Draekei

If you talk to Zidormi in Darkshore and ask her to show you how it was before; you can travel to Darnassus, /salute a guard, get the buff turning you into a guard and get the titles. Have fun guys!
