Blizzard Gives out Whelplings for 5th Anniversary
Monday, Nov. 23 marks the fifth anniversary of World of Warcraft, but Blizzard has already kicked off the celebration by putting an Onyxian Whelpling pet in the mailbox of every player. You'll get the "WoW's 5th Anniversary" achievement just for logging in, so be sure to sign on to each of your characters if you want them to have the Feat of Strength. The Pilgrim's Bounty event also started today and will be held throughout the week.
Blizzard sent every player a letter with the pet in honor of the game's anniversary. You can read the full letter after the jump.
Wow, another year has gone by for WoW!
We wanted to thank you again for continuing to play World of Warcraft with us. In celebration of our 5th year online, we decided to bring back our first raid encounter, the black dragon Onyxia.
To help remember the event, you are now the proud owner of your very own Onyxian Whelpling. We suggest you bring the little guy out whenever you can and say "Many whelps! Handle it!" Your friends won't mind. Honest.
