This is the 2013 Anniversary Feat! And should be out in mid to late November

Edit: You can obtain this achievement by logging onto wow from Nov. 18th to Dec. 2nd.

Kommentar von Kaatia

I would much rather have a pet or an item than an hour buff. I know there are a lot of people like myself that have put a lot of money into this game and a buff for rep and exp gains (which you already get a huge jump with the guild tabards) seems petty. You can even drink potions that give similar buffs.

Kommentar von rashas

It's the achievement which you receive by logging in within the WoW's 9th Anniversary (18th of November 2013 - 2nd of December 2013).
Also, by logging in within anniversary, you will be awarded a Feiertagspaket.
~~Currently, no info if we will get any pet or something else cool. It would be nice if they even change the message of letter, unlike 8th anniversary when we got exact letter like on 7th anniversary.~~
Wow, we got a "new" letter!

Kommentar von RageZero

They are putting so much stuff in that crappy blizzstore... why can't they just put one cool thing / year on these feats of strength! That would be an actual celebration, just like in the old days :D
Since the 6th anniversary this celebration is not worth mentioning. Leveling is easy enough as it is, and this bonus ain't all that fun or usefull indeed. How about some permanent items? Just something simple and fun :) A tabard with a 9 on it, or a pet, or some other vanity item.

Kommentar von Kazane

Dear Blizzard. Why wouldn’t you start to give more useful items?
We DO need memento items (not just an achievement and an item that will disappear in two weeks), but it looks like lots of players are tired of vanity items. They’re cute, but they take space in bags. Battle pets also lost part of their uniqueness, thanks for 500+ ‘pokemon’ available in MoP.

So how about a Ruhestein? Everyone have it. You can make a special one, with unique animation (mini-blizzard around character while casting).
Or a ? It’d be just like Gnomisches Armeemesser, and allow to skin/mine/pick herbs (+10 skill) too. And/or contain Schreibzeug des Virtuosen, Juwelierswerkzeugsatz.
Or you could simply give a big bag with 24+ slots.
So the players who couldn’t log in during anniversary wouldn’t feel frustration; and the players who could receive their utility gift would like it.

I played WoW for 9 years and all i got was a lousy temporary buff.

Kommentar von Loctarjay

Congratulation WoW
I enjoy playing, when i have money :)

Kommentar von 149373

Another temporary buff- one that is useless to maxed out toons. /facepalm. Way to reward determination. A shapeshifting companion that takes the form of its master. That's what I want for next year. You listening blizzard? I want a miniature me. We could them "tiny-me".

Kommentar von Volleynova

Ready to resub for this rather silly Feat of Strength.

The real achievement will be logging in on WoW's 10th anniversary.

Ten Years of Warcraft in 2004, will be Ten Years of World of Warcraft in 2014.

Kommentar von Croffiles

I must say I am disappointed at this gift being re-used each year - However, that being said, I believe next year there will be something more permanent - 10 years for World of Warcraft is huge IMHO.

We shall see!

Kommentar von ns88

9'th anniversary started today att 18/11 2013 and will run throughout november. You do not get any rewards this year, although i don't think anyone was expecting that since you have not gotten any reward since 2009.

Kommentar von Meak

Guys relax, they're probably just giving the buff so that we're going to be super satisfied with the gift that we might get on the tenth anniversary? ..right? please Blizzard?

Kommentar von Alyysha

I signed in a few minutes ago and didn't even get a buff. Talk about anticlimactic.

Edit: My original post was around 9am EST and I had not received anything (no, not even in the mail). At 1pm EST I did receive the mail with the buff. ZOMG 9% xp and rep increase for 1 hour? Thank you Blizz, it's what I've always wanted! =D

Still pretty anticlimactic no matter how you slice it. Hopefully next year will be amazing to make up for the past 4 years of this buff business ;)

Kommentar von lunamoonraker

Another 1 year's subscription, another 1% EXP boost for 1 hour!

Now a beefy 9% (get it) increase in experience and reputation gains from kills for 1 hour.

Kommentar von Hawkyyy

Upon logging in on Nov 18th - December 2nd you will receive mail from the WoW Dev Team and the item WoW's 9th Anniversary

The mail reads:

From: The WoW Dev Team
Subject: WoW's 9th Anniversary!

Wow, yet another year has gone by for WoW!

We wanted to thank you for continuing to play World of Warcraft with us. So here's a little celebration package to go with your adventures!

The WoW Dev Team

Kommentar von mlcshooter

~~I'm apparently not getting this achievement or temp boost this year. Log in, nothing happens.~~
Relogged in after 7 1/2 hours. Acquired achievement, and have mail awaiting from the WoW Dev Team.

Kommentar von raistlyn

I had a couple people ask me to repost this. This was my response to Blizzard's 7th anniversary. Slight changes since we don't have that many people grinding Hyjal rep anymore.

----
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 mantid and get something more out of it. I bet those strict Pandaren in Townlong Steppes 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.

Kommentar von Jazzism

I remember the Onyxia whelping days. REALLY messed up DBM when we were running the Weekly Ony when they bumped her to LK boss level.

EVERYONE was getting the raid warning spam of the deep breath the whelping was doing. It was hilarious!

This blue post explains everything

Blizz will only give cool rewards in milestone years. It makes sense and we should all respect that.

Kommentar von Apocalex

A free wow month would be better to celebrate than this 9% buff. :P
