World of Warcraft merchandise – Azeroth leaves the screen
Hardly any game has shaped as many life stories as World of Warcraft: since its launch in 2004 – early 2005 in Europe – Azeroth has become a second home for millions of players, complete with guild friendships, server legends, and a vocabulary that outsiders mistake for a foreign language. Pop culture has long since certified as much: the South Park episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" was made in collaboration with Blizzard and won an Emmy in 2007 – the first machinima work ever to do so. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed World of Warcraft merchandise: clothing, figures, and gear for the desk and shelf, for both factions, of course.
What makes World of Warcraft stand out?
Blizzard Entertainment's MMORPG builds on the Warcraft strategy game series, running since 1994, and rightfully carries the title of forever-game: Guinness lists World of Warcraft as the world's most popular subscription MMORPG, and at its peak around 2010 the game counted roughly 12 million subscribers. WoW Classic brought back the original gameplay feel in 2019, and in 2016 "Warcraft: The Beginning" by director Duncan Jones brought Azeroth to the big screen. Just how seriously this game world deserves to be taken was proven, of all things, by a coding bug: in 2005, the "Corrupted Blood" plague spread uncontrollably among players – real epidemiologists studied the virtual outbreak as a behavioral model, and years later the findings even fed into COVID-19 research. A world that occupies science deserves more than a spot on your hard drive.
Frequently asked questions
What World of Warcraft products does Elbenwald offer?
Officially licensed items from clothing to figures to desk and kitchen gear – think T-shirts, action figures, mugs, and mouse pads. The filters let you narrow the range down further.
How do I recognize officially licensed WoW merchandise?
By the Blizzard Entertainment license notice on the product or packaging. Elbenwald carries exclusively officially licensed goods, for example from Blizzard Collectibles or Funko.
Do I have to choose between Horde and Alliance?
Not in the range – both factions are represented, from crest motifs to character items. What your guild has to say about a side-switch in your closet, though, is outside our jurisdiction.
Range overview
The World of Warcraft T-shirts form the textile foundation, hoodies & sweatshirts extend it into the cold season – Icecrown Citadel temperatures included. For the display case and desk there are action figures and plush figures – one kind poses, the other gets cuddled, both entirely legitimate. Mouse pads and mugs equip the workstation where you're playing anyway, and keychains bring Azeroth onto your keyring.
What else goes well with it?
Blizzard fans stay in the family: the Blizzard overview gathers the studio's brands, and Diablo and Overwatch have their own sections. And anyone collecting gaming merchandise across studio lines finds the big picture in the Gaming theme world.
