Happy 5th Anniversary, WoW!

How times flies so fast! I can’t believe that the game is 5 years old but it is. A few days ago, I found myself thinking that it felt like it was a wee bit early for patch 3.3 to be coming out soon. With all the news about Icecrown coming out, it has to be just around the corner. It only hit me recently that the year is almost coming to an end and that it is indeed time for these things to be coming out soon. Tempus fugit, as they say.

Last year we got an Achievement for logging in on the 4th anniversary and even got the in game companion pet the Baby Blizzard Bear. This year we get another Achievement for logging in and another pet, the Onyxian Whelpling. People who’ve done Onyxia will recognize it as the whelp adds that you have to “deal with” during the Onyxia encounter. To make things cooler, this pet doesn’t just hang around looking cute. Give it a while and it starts to take a deep breathe shown as a text emote.

Here’s to more anniversaries to come! Now go have fun with Pilgrim’s Bounty!
