We are teaming up with our sister site MMORaid to offer readers a chance at a free copy of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. We actually meant to run this giveaway a while ago, but got sidetracked and while doing a little end of the year cleaning, I came across the Cataclysm box still sitting their unwrapped. So here we go.

How to Enter

To enter simply go to MMORaid.com, register an account and comment on any article.

Next Monday morning we will select one random comment that was made between 1/2/11 and 1/9/11 as the winner and send them a copy of the WoW expansion Cataclysm. So remember to use a valid email when registering as this is how we will contact you. Also no spamming. Spammers will be disqualified.

While the giveaway might be too late for most, I’m sure there’s someone you know that never upgraded so here’s your chance to become their best friend by giving them a free copy

Good luck to everyone.

Ever wish you could play video games to help someone in need? Now you can! On Saturday, October 15th, join charity-minded gamers across the globe in a gaming marathon for charity. It’s a 24-hour video game playing marathon to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Much like the walk-a-thon charity events where walkers earn for their charity of choice for every mile they walk, gamers are asked to find sponsors who will pay $1 for every hour they stay awake and in game. I’m really late to the party on this one – I wish that I’d heard about it sooner!

You can start your own team, or join existing ones. Trion Worlds has one (their free weekend this weekend is dedicated to this charity event), as does Funcom, and both companies will be having giveaways during the 24 hour run. You could earn in game items and titles in RIFT, or beta access to the upcoming MMORPG The Secret World, Funcom points and more playing Anarchy Online or Age of Conan. I just spotted Team Razer, G4 Tv, Activision, and Wizards of the Coast, and I’m sure there are plenty of other recognizable names as well. All you need to do is turn on your computer (or your console, or even pull out boardgames – any game will do) and start playing!

Sign up for Extra Life and play games to help children in need!

If that’s not enough, Turbine is also offering periodic contests for pre-order Isengard keys as well as Turbine points on their Twitter page today, simply follow @lotro on Twitter for chances to win. Isengard has already gone live, so this is now the only way to gain the preorder bonuses that came with Isengard. See the forum announcement, on the official forums, and follow them here.
