Yes, as you know from the little Blizzard Bear (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/11/22/four-year-anniversary-pet-and-feat-of-strength-achievement/) in your mailbox, yesterday was the fourth anniversary of our favorite game, World of Warcraft. It's been a huge four years -- we've seen Blizzard develop and change massively multiplayer games as we know them, and gaming as a whole in some ways. We've grown our own characters up all the way from level one to 30 and 60 and 70 and beyond, and we've gone through two expansions, eight endgames (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/05/31/how-many-end-games-have-there-been/), countless patches and class changes, endless guild achievements and breakups and many, many "dings" and "grats."
We at WoW Insider would like to congratulate Blizzard on four years of World of Warcraft -- it's been an amazing ride so far, and it's not over yet. After the break, some of our writers have posted their own thoughts and memories on the game's anniversary, and please add your own in the comments below.
It could seem silly to celebrate the anniversary of a videogame, especially one that, if you've been playing since day one, you've spent over $800 and countless hours on. But then again, look at what this game has given back: groups and guilds full of friends (and some spouses), weeknights full of gear upgrades and XP gains, Saturday afternoons spent slaying dragons and Sunday evenings spent picking herbs in the Swamp of Sorrows or admiring the sunsets in Hinterlands. We've played this game for four years, and for most of us, it's been worth every quest. Here's to many, many more.Continue reading Four years of World of Warcraft (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/11/24/four-years-of-world-of-warcraft/)
