World of Warcraft celebrates 11th birthday with in-game gifts

World of Warcraft came out in North America on November 23 2004 (Europe had to wait until February 11 2005), which means in about a week we'll have to stop using the catchy phrase "ten-year-old game" and throw in a couple of extra syllables. It does means extra goodies for WoW players though.

That gift package contains the following items:

Celebration Package – Increases experience and reputation gains from kills by 11% for 1 hour. (10 second cooldown) Celebration Wand - Gnoll (5 charges) Celebration Wand - Murloc (5 charges) Exquisite Costume Set: "Edwin VanCleef" Inflatable Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker – Using this item grants you the Feat of Strength, “Did someone say . . . ?” (account-wide)

If you want to really show your appreciation for the game, there's a hashtag (because of course there is) with which to do so: #11YearsofWoW. Check it out for lots of stories of people who've met their significant others through the game. Aww.
