Decade Long World of Warcraft Subscribers to Receive Cool Statute

Groovy gift for 10-year WoW vets

Our hats are off to anyone who has stuck around with World of Warcraft since the beginning. That takes some serious commitment, and as a token of its appreciation, Blizzard is giving away a rather neat looking statue to its most loyal WoW players, the ones who have been around for 10 years. Not just off and on players, either -- eligible recipients will have maintained an active subscription for a decade.
"These gifts have been sent to the physical address associated with eligible Battle.net accounts. To be eligible for this gift, a player must have created a World of Warcraft account within 60 days of the game launching in the NA or EU regions, and maintained their subscription or game time for all ten years," Blizzard stated in a blog post.
The statue won't bring back a significant other who might have bailed in year three after growing tired of always being second fiddle to an MMORPG, but hey, it looks neat. We know this because Battle.net user Smitti posted a picture of the statue he received, which would fit right in with any geek's gaming collection. Of course, one look at the comments section puts it into depressing perspective though.
"$15/month x 12mo. x 10 years = $1,800... worth it," an Imgur user commented.
It will be interesting to see how much these suckers end up selling for on eBay.
