Blizzard Entertainment has released a brand new video to celebrate the eighth anniversary of the world's top MMO, World of Warcraft. Where were YOU the day WoW opened? Tell us your story in the comments after checking out the video!

Blizzard sent a in game mail to everyone regarding the 8th anniversary.

It contained a item you can click that gives you a 8% increase in leveling xp , it last for a week or so cant remember.

But also was a nice letter attached , the letter was the same exact letter we recieved last year, it was reffering to Deathwing.

Blizzard is lazy.

They couldnt include a pet as a gift because they would rather sell it in the item shop.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!   >  YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!

Way to turn a happy event into something negative and selfish.  I have a feeling that you are the type of person where, even if you DID receive a pet, you would complain that they didn't send you a mount.

I was playing EVE actually. Thats not a smak towards WoW at all.

But I did have the elitist attiude of most EVE players at the time (and most still have), thats its a cartoon game for kids.

I found out about three years later that it was a damn fun game to play. I count it among some of my best MMO memories, with people I still have contact with, though somewhat irregularly.

I was already ready for when it launched as i played since the beta.

I remember thinking how massive this world was, that feeling of seeing the first enemy alliance character.

Getting my full shadowcraft set and showing off in town, later nightslayer

Annoying the alliance while they tried to kill Azuregos

Fighting over Tarren Mill and 12 hour long AV battles.

Then during the games expansions the scale seemed to shrink for me, and i found myself hanging out in cities waiting for dailies/instances or raids to do

I loved the hell out of the game, now like many i long for a similar experience with todays mmo's

This could be said as true, but in a more positive fashion.  They actually decided to release their latest pet as a charity drive for the people involved with Hurricane Sandy; 100% of the proceeds will go to help those people.

I'd rather have the option to pay $10 and help people than be given it in the anniversary.
