It's been four years since the launch of Blizzard's fantasy MMO World of Warcraft and since then the game has pretty much trancended the norm for such games in terms of popularity and influence on mainstream pop culture. The game now has 11 million subscribers and just recently launched its second commercial expansion pack, Wrath of the Lich King.

Today our sister site WoW Insider reports that players in the game got a little treat to celebrate four years; a new in-game pet called Baby Blizzard Bear. Awwwwww...isn't it just the cutest thing? Oh, there's also a new feat of strenghy achievement you can also get..but who cares? Let's play with the cutest, prettiest virtual baby bear we have ever seen.

By the way, if you are a World of Warcraft player but don't feel like venturing out to your local store to pick up Wrath of the Lich King, you don't need to anymore. Blizzard has made the second expansion available for direct download by purchasing a $39.99 upgrade key.

I tried once WOW, but I thought it's too time-consuming. Instead, I started playing Lineage 2, which is free to purchase and you can find some free servers. After a short while I found myself tied to that game. Now I don't play anymore I just like to find out about games news and reviews on PC District.com.Posted at 7:57AM on Nov 24th 2008 by Angel Rainn
