Blizzard Sending Statue To 10 Year Players Of World Of WarCraft

World of Warcraft recently celebrated its 10th birthday. That is a pretty crazy milestone. Barely any games stay relevant for a decade, especially those with monthly subscriptions. The dominance of the MMO genre has been fierce with many games claiming to be a 'WoW killer', but exactly zero living up to the claim.

According to Gamespot, If you have been with the game since its start, Blizzard have found a novel way to show you their appreciation. You'll have gotten an email already about a statue that is being sent to you. It features an Orc on a wolf mount and comes with this message on the base:

The Orc statue is a constant presence in our life at Blizzard entertainment. It's where we meet to talk, to eat, to celebrate. As we celebrate ten years of World of Warcraft, we present this token of appreciation to you, stalwart adventurer. Thank you for being a constant presence in our lives as we adventure together.

This is a neat present for the most hardcore of players. I'd be interested to see exactly how many players have been with the game since its launch. I'd also be interested in seeing exactly how much money a 10 year subscription, all the expansions and any in game purchases would come to. I'm sure we are talking about a couple thousand of dollars.

But hey! I'm sure that is matched by tens of thousands of hours of enjoyable play. It all comes down to the value you want out of the game. To stay with the MMO for ten years, I'm sure these players have gotten their value back.
