What Will We WIN?
As usual, all events on Arthas offer the chance at 
[Neverendless Doubloon]s, 
[Ticket Voucher]s and for a few lucky winners, chips! All participants in all events who play on Arthas will also receive the usual souvenir shirt, custom designed for this year's Anniversary celebration. Deathwing winners will receive 
[Wintergrasp Commendation]s, gold and chips. ("I was a part of Neverendless's 5th Anniversary--and I didn't even get a shirt!"--sorry Deathwing :( We still love you!)
Don't forget to check out the special 5th Anniversary Vendor, "Franky Five-Fingers": you'll find him plain as day in Stormwind and Orgirmmar, ready to accept your [Ticket Voucher]s in exchange for some extra rewards... some rarely-found and rarely-offered and some just for fun!
We wouldn't want to leave out Moneta, would we? As promised during NECon 2013, your in-game Event Vendor is getting an update as well! Moneta will now offer a higher level of gear in addition to her current wares. To complement the in-game Event Vendor upgrade, we are adding another level to the Vote Shop as well. Moneta will now carry up to Tier 8.5 gear in exchange for a measly 30 [Neverendless Doubloon]s a piece, and the Vote Shop gains the addition of Tier 9 gear, available for purchase with your hard-earned Vote Points! You asked and we answered! We hope you'll enjoy!
Let's Get This Party Started!
So you have the list of events, you know what's waiting to be won, and finally we must remind you to come and kick off the weekend in style during the Anniversary Celebration Party Friday, July 12 at 12pm server time! As is traditional, we will gather in your main cities for dancing, fun and mini-prizes/surprises! Don't miss out, it's not to be missed!
Finally, thank YOU, Neverendless Community, for making this FIFTH Anniversary Celebration possible! Without you, we would not be here. With you, we have withstood the test of time and the ups and downs that come naturally to any online Community. We are excited to embark on yet another year with all of you! So, enough chatter! Here's to YOU, here's to US, here's to NEVERENDLESS! Let the party begin!
