A long time ago in an Ancient Greece far, far away, the Ancient Greeks held a sacred competition for the toughest to show their stuff. They competed in such contests of extraordinary manliness such as tearing Harpies in two and having sex with many women at once. At least if God of War is to be believed, anyway.

These days, we don't do things nearly as awesomely or cool as they did, but that's not to say we don't try. And to celebrate hardy competitors and the awesomeness of the Ancient Greeks, WarCry and Blizzard have teamed up to give you a chance to join The Mage They Call Jayne(z), the Awesome Brigade, and the <Evil League of Evil> in the Wrath of the Lich King beta test!

We've got twenty-five prizes to hand out: five WotLK beta keys ready to use right away, and twenty gift cards from Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational 2008 in Paris that not only register you for the Lich King closed beta (though the key might not come right away) but give you an exclusive and pretty-damn-awesome in-game pet: a mini version of the archangel Tyrael from Diablo 2!

Though we aren't going to spoil the fun by letting it slip what exactly we've got planned, the first of two contests goes up here on WarCry this very Friday, August the 8th - and a second will follow in the second half of next week. So stay tuned, keep your eyes and ears open, and we at WarCry hope to see you soon in Northrend!
