Four Year Anniversary -- February 2009

On February 11, 2005, World of Warcraft launched in Europe. To celebrate our four year anniversary, we've teamed up with Dell and SwagDog.com to give out great loot. If you want to win a murloc plushy, some free game time, a Gurky, the baby murloc, free merchandise with free shipping from SwagDog, and last, but not least, an XPS M1730 laptop* from Dell, you can either participate in our Lore Contest.
