The major portion was the Trading Card Game (TCG) competition (a whole world onto itself), the new Miniature competition, some MMO online competitions and a few other fun events/games.
The MMO contests we tried - and did not win - Gurubashi Arena (why did I pick a DK . . . /sigh) and a leveling contest (a bar shy of level 8 in less than 90 minutes) - the winner dinged level 10!
The winners won some neat loot cards - one was the Reins of the Swift Spectral Tiger, which I am in major lust for! We had this as a mount in the Arena event. It is ZOMG sssexy, wonderful - it has moved ahead of all other mouts I've seen on my 'gotta get one' list! I want it badly! Not badly enough to spend $1,499 the current Ebay price, but oh my would I be riding around on it alot if I had it!
In the Gurubashi event all the contestants were given their choice of race/class and started as level 80 in Dalaran. We had half hour to make our way to the Arena in STV. I warned my daughter to watch out for the gnome mage - and guess who walked away with the Tiger mount! Argh!!! They let us play on the level 80's with all epic mounts for awhile, so that was fun too. I was a bit disappointed though that the hunter was specc'd BM yet had no pet???? Excuse me? But the one man raid on Orgrimar was fun anyway - lol.
The leveling competition was also fun. Note to self though - when trying to power level in a competition DO NOT stop to loot and sell stuff! Habits are hard to break - lol.
We also had a demo of the TCG which may be another WoW addiction for my family and we received two of the started packs to start the addiction. As we love strategy games I can see this being another wonderful outlet.
The artist for some of WoW's artwork was there with original and prints of his work, so had to get a couple of signed ones. (I feel horrid I can't remember his name though - but he puts the WOW in WoW!)
