MMO-Champion 10 Year Anniversary Celebration

For an entire decade, MMO-Champion has strived to provide its users with timely World of Warcraft news, including the latest patch notes and previews of upcoming game content. It’s been years of daily site updates, late nights collecting game information, and weekends filled with surprise patches - and it’s all been worth it. Many World of Warcraft players rely on MMO-Champion to stay informed, and we appreciate the dedication you’ve shown us over the years. Thanks for being here to celebrate our 10th anniversary with us today.

To recognize this fantastic achievement, we’re celebrating the most important part of MMO-Champion - our users. We have giveaways, trivia, a new site feature, and a collection of a few of the most interesting news posts from the last 10 years.

Here’s to another decade of MMO-Champion!

New Forum Badges
To recognize our most passionate users, today we’re testing a new site feature: forum badges. These badges celebrate MMO-Champion members that have been a part of the website for one, three, and five years.

Depending on user feedback, this is a feature that could be expanded to include multiple badges, additional customization options, and more.

If you received a forum badge today, thanks for being an integral part of what makes MMO-Champion great. If you don’t have one yet, we hope you continue to enjoy our growing community; that one year badge is just on the horizon!
