Blizzard's @warcraft Twitter account teasing... something photo

We're not even sure if it's news, but we've written about far less in the past, so here I go. Blizzard's Official Warcraft Twitter account is teasing something for this Thursday.

What? We already said what -- "something." Pay attention. The tweet, posted today, reads "It’s Coming - 11/25," and is accompanied by the above picture. No, I don't know what that is. I think I see a piece of rope or a spine... or both. 

Maybe it's birthday cake -- World of Warcraft is officially five-years-old today; the game launched on November 23, 2004, ruining (or making) the holidays for families across the globe. What could it be? Any thoughts? Let us know what you think (or know).

I'll be the first to start a hopefully sucessful nostalgic WoW remembrance thread, right here

List your main's classes/how long you played/when you quit

70 Enhance Shaman, 70 Shadow Priest: played for a year and a half: quit after beating Illidan, before Sunwell.

If everyone just makes fun of me for playing WoW, I'll take that as well ;p

I play wow. Have since launch. It's a damn good game as MMO's go. Would love to get an official Dtoid guild started, but eh nobody around here seems to give a shit.

The pic, it's a hammer of some sort. Maybe a cake or statue for sale or something. New patch is due soon too so could be something related to that.

Patch 3.3? Icecrown Citadel, the fall of the Lich King, and the end of the latest expansion's story. That is the only thing known to be on the horizon for WoW other than the next expansion. Usually patches drop on Tuesdays, though.

@ Magnalon - Crazy! I played WoW for about a year and a half too. I had a 70 resto Shaman and a 35 Shadow Priest before I quit.

I was actually chilling in a friend's room today and he showed me his 80 druid. We talked about the good ole' days of raiding. He said I should start up an account again on his server and we can raid together...but eh...I love my 360/PSP/Wii.

@Midgetsnowman Except then they can't fix any major bug problems over the long weekend. They release raid content during non-holidays for a reason.

@Technophile, a few of us raid together over on Venture Company (Alliance, sorry). It's not an official Dtoid guild, but if you want to roll with us, yell at King, Yashoki, or me sometime.

@Midgetsnowman: Blizz has already stated that they don't want to release huge content updates on or around major holidays. That means no Thanksgiving, no Christmas. Since they've already started letting people pre-download the patch, that leaves December 1st/8th or maybe January 5th/12th, for 3.3 to drop. I'm guessing sooner, because the new PTR build didn't change much, and only one boss is being tested.

@Magnalon: 80 Arcane Mage, an enhance shammy on the way up. I actually quit for a while during BC, but I fell back off the wagon this summer.
