World of Warcraft

A lot of factual information regarding World of Warcraft…
“Some players try to misuse the game – In one case, a transgender player formed a transgender guild and Blizzard Entertainment banned this. People for and against the action voiced their protest and the game got into a needless controversy. In another case, around June 2005, a child died because of WOW-addiction. According to a leading psychologist, around 40% of WOW players are addicted to it. Well, whatever the criticism, World of Warcraft is growing stronger by the day.”
The transgender guild being created is interesting evidence of communities created within the larger WoW community, which can in turn replace communities in reality… It’s almost as interesting that the guild got banned, bringing attention to the governing body of the game, its GMs and some constitution-like code of World of Warcraft ethics and rules.
