World of Warcraft Turns 5, Warcraft Turns 15

[Boubouille]

Note - Not related at all, but if you run 5-man dungeons on PTRs and happen to drop some items please report it here : Patch 3.3 5-Man Loot Reports. Thanks!

I didn't want to post that right after the PTR but it's definitely worth a dedicated news. Happy Birthday (World of) Warcraft! See you in 5 years for the 10 Year anniversary!

World of Warcraft Turns 5, Warcraft Turns 15

Over the past 15 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.

To commemorate these milestones, we've just launched the Warcraft anniversary website. There you’ll find video interviews featuring personal anecdotes from some of the shapers of Warcraft, as well as the Battlecry Mosaic where you can show off your faction pride. Visit the anniversary site now!

Happy birthday, (World of) Warcraf!

Honestly I think Blizzard is pure win and pure phail at the same time. Sometime, they just do something very annoying in their games. But I can't still stop to play Warcraft3 nor WoW. Congrats Blizz, you've made a cult. Keep up the good work!

The developer comments are fantastic.

That being said, listening to them reminisce and discuss their raiding experience, and the swells of pride when they first downed the difficult content, it made me a little sad that I have not yet had that experience. I am late to the game, having only tanked through SSC in BC before WotLK dropped, and having cleared all of the content up to 25 ToGC (still workin on Anub), I just wish there were something epic feeling I could experience first hand.

I know, the whole Casual vs Elite argument is always harsh, and it is not my intention to derail discussion, but it is a little disheartening knowing there is a chance I will never have the feeling of pride they received from downing Onyxia, or banging their heads against Molten Core only to finally defeat Ragnaros and the feelings of pride and camaraderie amongst Guild Mates.

That being said, happy birthday Warcraft!

Happy Birthday WoW!

Hopefully Cataclysm will bring back some of the epicness that WOTLK was missing.
