World of Warcraft turns five years old in less than three weeks, and Blizzard is kicking off the celebration with an anniversary sweepstakes. The company will be giving prizes to random players every week for the next five weeks based on how long they've been playing the game. For example, five players who created an account on or before Oct. 26, 2008 will be chosen tomorrow to receive a Charge of the Great Dragonflights stein.

Those of you who have been with WoW for the long haul and created an account on or before Nov. 23, 2004 will be in the running to receive a Nvidia video card or an ASUS Republic of Gamers 3D Vision enhanced laptop, as well as a year of free game time and a signed Onyxia print. The two lucky winners who receive laptops can honestly say it paid for them to play WoW for five years.

The sweepstakes is only open to residents of the United States, Canada and New Zealand. You can read the official rules for more information and check out the full list of prizes after the jump. You can also discuss the sweepstakes in this thread in our WoW gener
