World of Warcraft Marks 7th Anniversary with Special 'Celebration Package'

Blizzard has revealed that its long running World of Warcraft MMORPG will be turning 7 in two days, on November 23, and, in order to properly mark this anniversary, all players who will log into the online game will receive special bonuses.

This month was filled with plenty of celebrations, from the 10th anniversary of the original Xbox to the PlayStation 3 that turned 5 last week.

Now, Blizzard is also preparing to mark a special anniversary, as its World of Warcraft massively multiplayer online role playing game will be entering its seventh year of existence on November 23.

As a token of appreciation, the studio will be handing out not just a special achievement but also special 'Celebration Packages'.

"World of Warcraft turns seven on November 23, 2011," Blizzard said. "It’s been a truly incredible seven years, and we’d like to thank you all for joining us for yet another fantastic year. To celebrate, players who log into the game between November 20 and December 3 will earn a feat of strength added to their Achievements and a “Celebration Package” item."

"Using your item will get the celebrations rolling by shooting off fireworks, applying a (visual only) tabard to your character, and granting a 7% bonus to experience and reputation gains while active. We look forward to another year of adventures ahead and many more to come!"

While these celebration efforts might not be so impressive, don't forget that Blizzard is hard at work on a brand new expansion for World of Warcraft, called Mists of Pandaria, so expect quite a lot of new features to be included within the add-on.
