It’s been quite a while since we’ve shared information regarding our forum MVP program. If you frequent Blizzard forums you’ve no doubt seen jade text stamped across threads here and there. Those with the power to wield green words are regular players -- just like you -- who’ve been recognized for their contributions to the forums in one way or another.

You may now collect your refreshing fountain drinks at ampm convenience stores in remarkable, limited-edition creations forged for just this purpose. Kil’jaeden, Illidan, the Lich King, and Deathwing have been memorialized on what are now the only drinking cups that have ever mattered. They will only wait so long for you to realize the growing thirst within you. They will not tolerate your failure to locate your nearest ampm.

No less than four malevolent entities will adorn a special set of collectable drinking cups, available soon at ampm convenience stores. Beginning February 7, raiders of the Horde and Alliance can recount their victories over Azeroth’s most infamous villains as they sip their favorite fountain beverage from new new limited edition cups featuring Kil’jaeden, Illidan, the Lich King, and Deathwing. Get a first look at the designs here.
