There will be no pet awarded this year :(

Kommentar von Vlad

You get an item that is usable only during the two week celebration (20.11 to 03.12), when you use it you apply this buff on yourself Der 8. Geburtstag von WoW.

Kommentar von kahlessrcs

There was no pet for the 6th WoW Anniversary.

"The Onyxian Welpling was a gift that we mailed to players for logging in for our five-year anniversary. We plan to reserve this sort of celebratory bonus for the most notable milestones or events in the future."

However, after Blizzard brought back the stein for Brewfest this year after missing last year's, maybe they'll change their minds about the pets for this year's 7th anniversary as well. We'll just have to wait and see.

According to my WoW Calendar, WoW's 7th anniversary will be celebrated from November 20th, 2011 to December 3rd, 2011.

Kommentar von damekage

Just a while to go and then we will see if it is the changable tabard that was rumored or not.
Personally I hope it is my tabards are starting to overflow my bank.

Kommentar von PsychoBilli

According to World of Warcraft's main site, this event will start on 11/20 at 12:00 am and end on 12/03 at 11:59 pm. It starts a little early since Wow's anniversary is actually the 23rd, but nothing to stress over.

Kommentar von Atelo

I don't mind not receiving a pet. As far as I'm concerned they don't have to do anything.

Kommentar von Neneheria

I think just having a feat of strength is enough. There's also the spell that increases XP and reputation by 7% from kills for an hour, which is always handy, makes grinding for rep that little bit easier.
Thinking practical terms it must be rather hard to come with pet after pet that's original and will generate a lot of interest year after year.
Though I must say I'd like a pet purely for the fact that I love them. =p And this is my first anniversary playing!

Kommentar von Fizzlerocket

This tabard design has been used in the past, for some competition in Vanilla, not quite sure what for though, but it's not an original tabard design at all.
This item is also usable for as long as you like, as long as you apply it to yourself and it lasts for 1 hour, and it can only be used during this anniversary dates as stated.

Time to grind some levels and/or rep! :-D

Happy Birthday World of Warcraft!

Kommentar von Yzzami

What's up with all the sense of entitlement to receive a fabulous gift on someone else's birthday?

Kommentar von BuliwyfZRage

I'd say be happy that they even give ANYTHING just cuz their Game got another Year done.

Kommentar von Marsaeus

The token is fine with me, just happy to celebrate with all my WoW friends! Grats to Blizzard on 7 years, and Grats to all those that have been here for all 7. (and those that recently joined WoW.) It has certainly been a fun ride!

From beta, to Classic and with all the changes, we all love Blizzard and WoW. Can I getta Hell yeah!

edit: wow, why the down votes? I didnt expect up-voting, but how did this comment offend anyone? =/

Kommentar von Warlock82

Still trying to figure out if the "Requires WoW's 7th Anniversary" on the item is referring to this achievement or the event itself. I'm hoping it's usable for more than a week :)

Kommentar von Chekan

The buff provided by Celebration package works similar to Schlachtstandarte der Zusammenarbeit. So this wont help u with WSG/AB rep.

Kommentar von Thious

I put in a ticket tonight and as stated by GM Boildower "That he has not heard 100% though going by the item it seems like it would be usable during the event"

Kommentar von Deathnotez

It's starting to bug me people are saying that the package is useless and the gift should have been a pet. I'm currently using it to help my toons level up faster and looking at the tool tip, it could help out my other 85s if i needed rep faction items. I'm happy with the achievement enough as it is and how I look at pets in Cata "Things that just stand there making emotes and funny/annoying sounds". (Yeah Pandaren Monk and XT...I'm talking about you guys.)

Kommentar von QuickBASIC

Now comes the yearly task of logging onto every toon on every server (even if I haven't played them in years) to make sure they all have the Feat of Strength achieve.

Kommentar von adashiel

The Celebration Package associated with this feat comes attached to the following letter:

From: The WoW Dev Team
Subject: WoW's 7th Anniversary!

Wow, yet another year has gone by for WoW!

We wanted to thank you again for continuing to play World of Warcraft with us. With the return of a certain large dragon, this has been a rough year for the world of Azeroth. On the other hand, that means heroes like you are needed more than ever.

Get out there and defend a shattered world!

The WoW Dev Team

Kommentar von Tunasaladin

A few non-objective observations concerning WoW's 7th anniversary's gift:

--You got one single item in the mail called Celebration Package.

--This item was NOT an actual tabard of any sort. The Celebration Package could not be equipped in any way and was thus just an inventory-use item.

--The item had unlimited use with a 10 second cooldown, only usable during the time frame of Nov. 20th until December 3rd of 2011.

--The item use had an animation of your character shooting off a single firework. Your character proceeded to receive a buff called "WoW's 7th Anniversary" that gave you "Experience and reputation gains from kills increased by 7%". The buff lasted for 60 minutes.

--In addition, this buff enacted a visual change to your character. Regardless of whether or not you had a real tabard on, this buff gave your character model a tabard visual as long as the buff remained active. The "tabard" had the same skin as the Contest Winner's Tabard circa May 2005.

Happy 7th anniversary!

Kommentar von Skyrim

I didn't realize it for a second, but the 7% experience increase that you receive from the Celebration Package is 7% increase because its WoW's 7th anniversary.

Kommentar von vicarea

As others noted, its taken straight from the most rare tabard in the game period: Wappenrock des Wettkampfsiegers; this is to be consistent with a shift in design philosophy around launch of WotLK until present day. Some examples below of the attempts to homogenize (through revamping steep requirements), augment exclusivity, simplify etc.

Großmarschall -- Großmarschall
Frostfeuerschulterpolster -- Tapfere Frostfeuerschulterpolster
Roben des Magisters -- Nachbildung der Roben des Magisters

We wanted to thank you again for continuing to play World of Warcraft with us.
With the return of a certain very large dragon, this has been a rough year for the world of Azeroth.
On the other hand, that means heroes like you are needed more than ever.

Edit: Didn't see Adashiel's comment =(
Anyway, the item is Feiertagspaket and effect is Der 8. Geburtstag von WoW

Kommentar von 601669

I was just glad it was not yet another murloc pet.
Last year no gift so this year at least it was something useful.

Kommentar von AveryZan

Kind of amusing the item is tradeable. I had some fun pranking my ocd guild leader by filling their guild bank with these from all my characters.

Kommentar von raistlyn

Doesn't anyone else think getting this in the mail would be slightly disconcerting to the characters who have no idea who or what the WoW Dev Team is? I realize there are a lot of OOC moments in WoW, but I was thinking this one through...

----

A paladin walks up a mailbox..

"Hey! Looks like I have mail!"

The paladin pulls out a box which seems to very little in it.

"Hmm, just a box? I mean, I love my creepy little crate that seems to have a slightly disturbing fondness for critters, but I don't really want another one. Having to clean up my other companions who got too close to the crate..." The paladin shudders. "Yeah, I don't really want another one."

The paladin reaches to put the box back as carefully as she can, when a slip of parchment falls out. She bends over to pick it up.

"What? This one comes with a user's manual? Well, I guess I look at it then. Hmm, from the WoW Dev Team. Ohhh, I guess it is that season again when I get random items in the mail from people I don't know. A few years ago I got a random bear in the mail. Thank the Light the carrier thought to poke holes in the crate. The poor thing was turning white from lack of air. They seemed to stop doing that kind of thing though, so maybe this is something else."

"Wait, who IS the WoW Dev Team? Oh, wait, are those the mages over in the Mage Quarter? Aren't they supposed to go up against the Orgrimmar Marauders next week in a lifesize Chess Match in that old Mage's castle down in Deadwind Pass? I don't know who they think is going to come watch them in a creepy old castle with no heating at THIS time of year..."

"Anyway, I wonder what they are 'dev'ing. Do they mean developing? Ohh! Is it a new type of portable food? I love it when they suddenly magic cake into the air and then share it with everyone. It is the best part of meeting new people."

The paladin suddenly tears open the box, ignoring the rest of the message. She starts searching for prototype mage food when suddenly she gets blasted in the face with what seems like a firebolt. She is sent flying back onto her backside blinking, and more than a little angry.

"What THE -!"

"Who puts FIREWORKS into a WOODEN box?"

She glances angrily over to the Gnome engineer trainer who is currently trying to teach a Worgen how to get their paws around an arclight spanner. As she watches she sees the Worgen singe himself and burn some fur. She chuckles darkly to herself and quickly stops when the Worgen looks at her.

"Rogue.. not getting mixed up with THAT crowd."

The paladin gets up and brushes herself off. As she does so she sees she is suddenly covered with a purple tabard which was not there before.

"GAH! Purple? And what or who on Azeroth is WoW? This has to be mages, only they would think the color purple is in style. I have no idea why they would put WoW on it though. What does that mean? Wallflowers of Winterspring?"

As the paladin starts to ineffectually paw at the tabard in the hopes of it coming off, she looks up suddenly.

"You know what? I suddenly feel stronger! Hmm, maybe I can go beat up some of those elementals and get something more out of it. I bet those stuffy Night Elves in Hyjal would like that. Maybe they would be a bit more friendly towards me."

As the paladin decides this might be the next thing to do, she decides to look again in the crate to make sure she didn't miss anything.

BOOM!

"REALLY? Two fireworks inside a wooden box? What in the Nether is going on here?"

As the paladin starts to rub the soot off her face and pick herself off the ground again, she looks up and realizes a good portion of the Dwarven District is watching her curiously.

"What? Haven't you ever seen a train of thought before?"

She continues to stand up and starts grumbling about finding this WoW Dev Team and making sure they never make prototype anything again. As she makes it to her feet she feels a slight tug on her person and quickly looks down to see that her coin pouch is gone. She swiftly looks around at the Gnome engineer trainer and sees that he too is staring at her. His student is nowhere in sight. From her right she suddenly hears a chuckle alarmingly close to her ear. She whips around to grab the offender and grabs empty air.

"ROGUES!"

Now, I realize OOC happens a lot in WoW, but sometimes it is just funny to think about how the characters themselves would see it.

Edit: Spelling.

Kommentar von Bighand

This was their excuse last year. I just don't get it. Last year they completely rebuilt old content that was untouched since vanilla. It was huge milestone to me.
This year was another milestone when Blizzard Entertainment celebrated 20th anniversary.
I don't want to sound ungrateful but I really wanted to feel like they still care about all players. Pet given on 4th and 5th anniversary was symbol that not everything is about money. I hope for a better tomorrows.

Kommentar von buzz3070

A nice reminder of just how much time Ive spent playing this game.

Kommentar von Soeroah

The tight-ass in me says I should wait until December 8 (after I get home from a holiday) before renewing my subscription with my gamecard. The achiever in me points out I'll miss the 7th Anniversary Achievement while I have the 5th, 6th and will most likely get the 8th.

The effecient bastard in me reminds that if I renew my subscription with a 60 addition to game time now, I'll effectively lose around two weeks of it due to being out of the house. That's about a quarter of it.

Comes down to a $10 achievement or waiting.

Man, that gap in my Feats of Strength is gonna bother me forever.

Kommentar von 444935

OMG are you serious? The loyal players get nothing because they don't want occasional players to feel bad they missed out?

Right yeah, I'll be sure to mention that when the CEO of the corporation I work for retires, I'll be sure to mention that he shouldn't get anything for his extra time spent building up the company, the sleepless nights, the financial worries, that all his extra effort isn't worth f*** all. After all his retirement pay would be huge otherwise and would make me feel bad I missed out on the opportunity to do extra and that my contribution was just as valuable as his.

I'm sure he will understand. (I'm overstating ofc but you get the idea)

Loyalty is a valuable commodity that should be rewarded. You turn up, you do your stuff, pay your dues, you get rewarded - you don't turn up you don't get rewarded - simple. So you didn't get that reward/ pet whatever because you weren't playing at the time.... and? I don't have many points on my xbox account because I hardly play, does that mean all the others should be nerfed because of my laziness?

Lets not forget wow rewards are based on login - PAID LOGIN. if you didn't pay to login at the time why should you get anything? Conversly; why should loyal players get nothing because you didn't.

This doesn't just apply to the anniversary either, it's the concept of the few get shafted to appease the many that burns me.

a heap of whine about not getting a pet

Serious fail and frankly you are bloody Cheapskates blizzard IMHO. (not to mention cheapening the whole FoS system.)

they are cheapskates, for not giving YOU a present on THIER birthday ?

No... just, no... cease speaking, get off your high horse, get your high horse off that soapbox, knock that soapbox down a few pegs, and shut the hell up. You are not entitled to anything, and you are merely showing yourself to be a spoiled brat by kicking up a fuss about it this year. NO, hey ! no ! bad, BAD !

Kommentar von Derren

I like that they give something at wow anniversary. But i find that cheap to give stuff now with a limited time instead of unlimited duration.

@those who say "its blizz anniversary not customers" or something like that. Keep in mind its because of its customers that are paying every month blizz made it to 7years.

No subscribers = the game would probably just end or soon after they made the game f2p and full of microtransactions.

Dont get me wrong: im happy we get something. But compared to the BoA bear/onyxian whelp its meh.
