Then perhaps you'll want to take full advantage of the game's new recruitment drive, starting today and running until July 12th. It's a chance to earn prizes...

With a decade of popularity and lots of people playing, World of Warcraft does not have a surfeit of names available for players. As a result, the game is reclaiming names from characters that haven't logged in since December 7th of 2010 when patch 6.2 goes live.
