World of Warcraft. Whose older brother’s cousin’s mom’s grandkid hasn’t played this game by now? Well, three years ago none of us had played it. We only had the success and fun of the original Warcraft franchise to get us excited about the promise of an MMO set in the world of Azeroth. Three years, nine million subscribers, and almost two years of my free time later, WoW is still going strong. In celebration, Blizzard will be running a series of contests and giveaways over the next few weeks.
It’s been three years since players first entered World of Warcraft and took up their roles in shaping its history. In that time, friendships have been formed; wars have been waged; and through incredible feats of coordination and perseverance, some unimaginably powerful beings have been vanquished. To celebrate the third anniversary of the game’s North American launch and to show our gratitude for the ongoing support, enthusiasm, and dedication of its thriving community, we’ll be giving away several prizes over the next three weeks:
- During the week of November 26, we’ll award 10 J!nx gift certificates valued at $100.00 each.
- During the week of December 3, we’ll give away 20 sets of four World of Warcraft action figures.
- During the week of December 10, we’ll provide 5 lucky players with an Apple iPod Touch and a two-year World of Warcraft subscription.
Happy birthday big guy.

3 years of wow, it almost held me as long as EQ1. But I find myself drifting further and further almost weekly from the game. Not sure what is wrong lately but Im bored solid by it.
