The use of any automated launching or entry software or any other mechanical or electronic means that permits the entrant to automatically enter repeatedly or in excess of one entry per person is prohibited. Mechanically generated entries will be discarded and may result in total and permanent disqualification from the Promotion.

6. How You Win. Edit

Winners will be selected in a random drawing on or about September 19, 2012 from among all eligible Entries received. Each entrant’s chances of winning are dependent upon the number of Entries received. Wikia’s decisions are final in all matters related to the Promotion.

7. Notification. Edit

Wikia will attempt to notify winners by email and/or by post at the address provided within approximately three (3) days following selection of each winner. Wikia is not responsible for any delay or failure to receive notification for any reason, including inactive email account(s), technical difficulties associated therewith, or winner’s failure to adequately monitor any email account or physical address. The winner must then respond to Wikia within forty-eight (48) hours. Should the winner fail to respond to Wikia or be disqualified, Wikia reserves the right to select a new, replacement winner. Unclaimed prizes will not be awarded.

The contest is over.

Winners have been notified. Please check the email account associated with your user name (be sure to check junk mail, too!).

Congrats to Murglman, Noah3000, and Yamra!

For more than ten thousand years the denizens of Azeroth have remained blissfully unaware of the mist-shrouded continent in the deep south. Wars have occupied their time, pitting them against one another, bringing the armies through the Dark Portal and also into the frigid wastes of Northrend. The Aspect of Death reshaped all these mortals knew, yet their battles continue, driving them ever closer to the brink of destruction. Theramore lies in ruins, and the factions are at each other’s throats. As if tossed by the winds of fate, the Alliance and Horde have come crashing through the Mists of Pandaria, their ships shattered on the rocky beaches. Their war upsets the balance the ancient pandaren have strived to uphold, reawakening the dreaded sha.

WoWWiki is giving away both the standard and collector’s editions of the Mists of Pandaria expansion, as well as Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War, the precursor to the expansion that chronicles Garrosh’s attack on Theramore! Enter to win below!
