That is the best parody of WoW right after the South Park one.

It's a shame too because the Gnomes made submarines in Warcraft II.

Some of those Onion vids are excellent with the added advantage of being mostly in bad taste.

I know some kids of friends that play this a lot. The parents pay like its cable or something so the brats can live on the PC. But these kids remind me of the quarky sorts who played D&D when I was in Junior High forty years ago. Maybe adults play it too, I dunno. It creeps me out to go over to their house to visit. The kids are like the Adams family. I expect them to cast spells and crap like that. The boy who just graduated High school who looks like Puglsy has no goals in life, like college or getting a career going. Nope! Just keep playing a fantasy role game. His Dad told me that he hopes that the draft comes back so he can get rid of at least one of them. Yep!:yep:

Orcs (male) in my case. :)

This is really really stupid. :roll:

Whilst America is suffering an economic downturn, gas prices rise day after day and the dollar weakens under pressure, one American is going against this trend; virtually. An avid Internet gamer from Chicago IL, known only as Jake, has made history by making the largest purchase of “virtual currency” ever reported. He did so through the game World of Warcraft, purchasing 1,000,000 Gold (the game’s currency) at a cost of just over $40,000.

I brought gold once when i was a low lvl around 40. 100g for $50 at the time, but i would never spend another cent again. Besides when your lvl 70 and have mining profession or do the high daily quests you can make 100g in 30 minutes game-time.

Over the last few months over 1 million WoW accounts (approximately 1/10th of the total number of accounts) were hacked by a specialized keystroke recording virus.

The selling of Game "gold" and other in-game objects is becoming a business. Even if the average resale of the items in these 1 million accounts (which included access to any guild vaults), could be sold for only $100.00 on the internet. That adds up to $100,000,000. And the customer base for buying this stuff is there! Let's say that the corporation that ran this keylogger could only sell 1% of what they stole ( a pretty low estimate) that is still a potential return of $1,000,000. All they have to do is sell the stuff at a reasonable rate so not to saturate the blackmarket.

Hacking these type of games is no longer in the realm of 15 year old kids. It is a business. The return on investment for this crime is pretty good. This keylogger was undetectable by the majority of security scanning programs.

Hacking accounts and selling the items for real money has gotten so bad that Blizzard has started offering security code fobs for their customers to secure their accounts. This is one of the same technologies the government uses to safeguard highly sensitive information.

These online games and the hacking of same is big business. I expect other online games to have fobs soon.

Kudos to Blizzard for working the problem. :up:

US gamer becomes first WoW Millionaire.

Guy buys 1,000,000 in game "gold" and pays US$40,000

wow!

The company he bought the gold from buys gold from players in the game. Perhaps even from account hackers.

There is real money in the MMORPG biz.

Never type your password to log in. Have your password in notepad on the desktop when you load up wow just Copy & paste password to the log in. To many key-loggers out there aimed at WoW accounts. Some of the many mod sites contain keyloggers in their mods the sites usually are clean and give warnings before downloading, i always use mod sites recommended by blizzard.
