Congratulations on winning a World of Warcraft Charge of the Great Dragonflights stein courtesy of this week’s sponsor, Taverncraft.
This year marks the fifth anniversary of the launch of World of Warcraft on November 23, 2004 — and to kick off the celebration, every week for the next five weeks, we’ll be giving out prizes to players as a way to “thanks” for being a part of the World of Warcraft community these past five years. Each week, we’ll randomly select winners from a different group of accounts based on how long they’ve been playing the game. The first week’s winners will receive a World of Warcraft Charge of the Great Dragonflights stein courtesy of this week’’s sponsor, Taverncraft. For more details on prizing and eligibility, please check out the rules at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/contests/5year/index.html and stick around for more five-year-anniversary festivities in the weeks ahead!
This year, a new holiday arises in World of Warcraft: Day of the Dead! During the Day of the Dead festivities, which take place each year on November 1 and 2, the denizens of Azeroth and Outland gather in the graveyards of every major city to honor fellow heroes and loved ones lost in battle, ravaged by plague, or otherwise dispatched on a one-way journey into the spirit world. Visit our Day of the Dead page to learn more about this new holiday and the grim bounty it brings.
We’re frightened. We’re amused. We’re impressed! The winners of this year’s pumpkin-carving contest have been chosen — and they’re spooktacular. We’d like to thank everyone who participated this year, and we can’t wait to see your knife-wielding skills in action again next time around. Check out all of the winners here.

In the upcoming content patch the sister blade, Quel’Delar, will be obtainable by players. If you want to know more,
take a glimpse into this weapon’s tragic past and where the quest to re-forge it will begin.
