WoW's 6th Anniversary

[Poisonenvy]

Today (30th November) is the 6th anniversary of World of Warcraft. Logging in today (or hopefully for several days after today!) will gain you the Achievement for it.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like we'll be getting any pets this year though

There is also a "new" patch today, which is apparently simply a "rewrite" of some files to sort out some glitches:

As it's not a patch, if you're extremely eager to get into the game (or it's taking too long) you can actually bypass the launcher and run the wow.exe in your game directory and play normally. You can then continue on downloading it later after you're done playing.

Two new pets are available from the Blizzard shop for $10 each:
