They've done it in the past, but yeah they seem to be pushing heavily on WoW this time. Can't even count how many times they've done Pepsico promos for CoD though.

Sugar induced coma?

Sweet. Can't wait for the Doritos x WoW and Axe Body Spray x WoW promotions next month!

I'd assume that would mean the tabards matching the Dew colors in this case, but they've used crimson and brick for the Trolli promo, and the orange and purple ones have already been on the Trading Post, so the reasonable options are already spent. (and I don't think they'd get people excited if the promo rewards were "things you may have spent 100 tenders on 5 months ago")

Maybe they'll use the red/orange and purple versions of the new shoulder cloaks and hoods coming in 11.0.5.

I don't know about deterministic rewards like points, but I've seen plenty of promotions with sodas having codes under the lid/cap for participation in lotteries.

I've definitely also seen promotions on Monster Energy drinks about trading in the pull-tabs for prices like T-shirts, and I've also seen them advertise promotions for Call of Duty stuff on the cans.

I live in Denmark by the way. And for the longest time, Recruit a Friend was unavailable in Denmark because the recruitment took place entirely outside of the game using e-mails.
That somehow caused it to be judged as a sort of pyramid scheme and was thus outlawed.

After RaF was reworked in WoD to originate in-game, directly from the friends list, it's been available in Denmark.

OT while I'd like to see these kind of promotions make it to the European market, realistically I've also never heard of Trolli gummies until the promotion, and Mountain Dew is not exactly a favourite soft drink easily found on shelves in every supermarket.

I'm guessing physics would say otherwise, but the cans on the bottom of those double stacked pallets must be fighting for their lives.

Yeah, i remember they doing in the past with commercials as well, but it was a long time

Judging from the company info on those pallates, they're empty cans. No way you would be able to stack that many filled cans.

Partnering up with the worst fucking soda out there. What's going to be their slogan? "Killing sperm cells all over Azeroth"?

A WoW and XBox promotion? How long do you think before we get the announcement of WoW on XBox consoles?

ah yes, the well-known members of the horde: thrall, and... the lich king...

Yes, because Xal’atath is so well known as being a member of the Alliance.
Also, if you would like to go down the history of the LK, then it is more of a Horde character as Ner’zhul, an Orc, is who became the Lich King; and, the first Death Knight being Teron Gorefiend, also an Orc who was originally a Shaman.

They really gave Alleria the ultimate karen haircut, didnt they

Not really, but you keep on with your opinions.

I will never understand this planet obsession with energy drinks, they are just all sugar and chemicals.. just give me a cup of tea and I am charged for the day.

US only most likely so too bad for us EU players. Always the same, US and China players gets all the nice treats while EU is left with nothing. Of course we have to blame EU bureaucracy for not allowing such promotions but still.. They could search other ways to let us enjoy these events too. Not that I wish to consume high-sugar drinks and too bad they only last for like 1-2 years before expiration date comes but I would buy a pack of both just for decoration (maybe have a few tastings).

As a side note: It so sickens me that everything good and tasty is always wrong health-wise. I used to consume all kinds of sh** and that started to show up negatively so now I consume mostly just water, vegetables, fibers, berries etc. pretty much skipping everything that has additional sugar, salt or bad fats in it. But I can assure you I deeply crave for pizza, hamburgers, sweets, sugar drinks like mountain dew, pancakes, mayonnaise.. All that american style. But I am concerned for my health and wellbeing. Why is life like this?

Coffee and green/black tea is truly BiS.

missing 2005, cocacola with wow have the event in china, i got 3 dragon pets.
but in 2007, i moved to taiwan server. (taiwan server and china mainland server not share accrount info)

as long as they add them to the game of other regions as ingame rewards, its fine.
