Enter to win 25 Creative headsets, one for each member of your raid

So how do you win? Obviously an epic contest like this requires an epic entry, so here's how we're going to do it: after the break on this post, you'll find a list of five different riddles, each one hinting at a different place in the game.
What your guild/raid will need to do is a) get your guild or raid together, all 25 members. And then b) go and find all the places and take screenshots of your guild there (you can hit "Print Screen" to save a screenshot, and it shows up in the "Screenshots" folder of your WoW install). Finally, c) send the screenshot to our contests email address, contests@wow.com, before next Wednesday, November 25th. Make sure to include your name, age, and mailing address (so only one person has to send five shots per guild/raid), and you will need to be 18 or over and a legal resident of the 50 United States or Canada (excluding Quebec). Official rules for this contest are right here.
From emails with all of the screenshots in the correct places, we'll choose one random winner to get twenty-five Creative World of Warcraft wireless headsets (worth $150 each, MSRP). You have one week, until November 25th at midnight, and the list of places to find is below. Good luck!
1:
Pose your team in front of something that's older than dirt:
The relic in Wintergrasp (try not to get hurt).
2:
Kill the orc who used to hold in his hand
that old instance key quest called Blackhand's Command.
3:
The game that Blizzard had to finally decline:
Go and find the secret Nova's shrine.
4:
This old dog has got a new plan of attack:
Shadowfang Keep was only a setback.
5:
Heroes and monsters frozen by a terrible spell,
Forever to stand where Thorim's hammer fell.
Ok, sure, those are terrible. But good luck to everyone who enters -- we can't wait to see the shots you guys put together.

My guild that endlessly wipes due to poor hearing devices well now come to an end. I thank my new ear Overlords.

Great idea for a contest! Now if only I could convince my guildmates to participate...

Make sure you check blacklists for ninja guild leaders! ($150 a piece is a lot of money...) It would be a shame to see REAL LIFE LOOT get ninja'd!
Goodluck Everyone!!

Not a member of a raid group or large enough guild to do this, but good luck to everyone who enters.
Awesome contest WoW.com and Creative. Great idea.

It would be nice to remember WoW is also being played outside the US/Canada region, so we europeons (same goes for asian players) could enter in this amazing contest.
Rizzy Nov 18th 2009 9:38AM
My gut feeling isn't that Blizz is ignoring Europe/Asia. More likely its a legal thing, something about local laws complicating this kind of contest.

I'd guess no one is ignoring or forgetting about global wow.com readers and wow players. However running transnational contests is bloody difficult given all the regulations worldwide, and normally would be handled on a country by country level by local affiliates. Unfortunately for you, there is only wow.com US, so you're stuck with domestic US contests.

indeed, here in portugal a simple company holds the rights to everything thats gamming or contest related, they would probably be demanding a part of the profits of this contest, probably there are similar laws in other countries.

Do Creative actually SELL any of these bloody headsets?
Don't get me wrong, it's nice that they're being so generous and all. But still, crikey.

The retail version of these headphones has not been released yet. These competitions i assume are pre-promotional campaigning for when they are released for sale.
I think i remember reading they are slated for a December release date.
