As always, we appreciate when our players take the time to check out the information we’re providing about World
of Warcraft, which is now entering its sixth year. In
this edition of Shop Talk
we’re letting the masterminds behind the Warcraft universe reflect upon their campaign to make the best games
possible, and we’re also taking a look at World of Warcraft’s future. Here’s to five years of memories, along with
many more years of great experiences yet to be forged. Most importantly, here’s to you, all of the gamers around
the world who have enjoyed World of Warcraft and made all the work that goes into it worthwhile.

The World of Warcraft five-year anniversary celebration is now officially underway! To mark this special occasion,
any character that logs into the game between now and Sunday, December 6 at 11:59 p.m. (realm time) will receive
their very own Onyxian Whelpling non-combat pet, along with a special message from the development team. We have
more World of Warcraft 5-year and Warcraft 15-year anniversary festivities coming soon, so be sure to keep your eye
on the official website. Thanks for being part of the adventure, and we look forward to many more whelps and great
memories in the years ahead.

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!
