Many parents fear games like WoW, having heard horror tales - those unfortunates who undergo too many Drain Souls, lose their friends, drop out of high school to become professional mages, and probably brush up against Jack Thompson somewhere along the way. Does Blizzard need its game featured in a popular hardcore pr0ns series to boot? As in: Whorelore: Swords, Sorcery, and Sex and Rage of Bonan, the adult film series based on World of Warcraft and The Age of Conan.
You’ve got to hand it to griefers: some are incredibly creative. It takes a special kind of person to think this far outside of the box.
