WORLD OF WARCRAFT: Yesterday, on the 23rd of November, WORLD OF WARCRAFT celebrated 5 years online.
To commemorate the occasion (which just happens to be my birthday) Blizzard have doled out in-game Onyxian Whelpling pets to players and launched a new mini web site devoted to the WoW Anniversary. Blizz are also pointing to the fact that the WarCraft IP itself is 15 years old this month. Gratz to all concerned.
“Over the past five years, a lot has changed in Azeroth. Valiant heroes have travelled the length and breadth of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, taken wing in Outland to free the Black Temple from Illidan’s clutches, and set sail for Northrend to battle the mighty Lich King. Whether you’ve been part of the adventure from the beginning or are just getting started now, we’re glad to have you with us for the five-year anniversary of World of Warcraft and the 15-year anniversary of the Warcraft series.”
