Procurez-vous l'un des serveurs d'origine de World of Warcraft

Arkentass | 13/09/2019 à 10h00 - 25

Comme l'a annoncé Blizzard au cours de la nuit, plusieurs des serveurs utilisés pour World of Warcraft entre 2010 et 2016 seront en vente lors de deux sessions prévues ce vendredi 13 septembre à 19h00 et mercredi 18 septembre à 02h00. L'intégralité des bénéfices seront reversés à Pencils of Promise, une organisation apportant la scolarité à travers le monde. Ferez-vous l'acquisition d'une telle pièce pour votre collection?

Pour rappel, Blizzard a déjà proposé d'anciens serveurs par le passé. Cette fois-ci, suite aux progrès technologiques de cette période, ces derniers ne sont spécifiques à un royaume particulier. Vous ne pourrez donc pas prendre possession de celui où vous vous trouvez.

Chaque serveur est présenté sous verre aux côtés d'une plaque commémorative des 15 ans de WoW, n'est pas fonctionnel et ne contient aucune donnée. Vous le recevrez entre 12 à 15 semaines après paiement.

Mise à jour 19h04 : Les ventes sont ouvertes, direction cette adresse. 300$. Livraison prévue avant la fin du 4ème trimestre.

It’s been a truly epic 15 years of World of Warcraft®>—and what better way to commemorate this momentous event than to purchase a piece of WoW® history, all while benefitting a great cause.

We’ve preserved a number of retired HP server blades that once hosted World of Warcraft realms, and you can purchase one during our two waves of sales on Friday, September 13 at 10:00 a.m. PDT and Tuesday, September 17 at 5:00 p.m. PDT on the Blizzard Gear Store to support Pencils of Promise, a global education organization creating schools, programs, and global communities around the common goal of education for all. For a limited time, a small number of these special anniversary server blades will be available for purchase and 100% of the sale price of each blade (excludes manufacturing and freight to warehouse costs, chargebacks, refunds, and value added tax) will be donated to Pencils of Promise. *
