Holy shee-it.

I have a lot of WoW friends. Some of them dig out of happy hour early just so they can go home and play WoW. I don't think they'd whore themselves out like this -- at least I hope now.

Judging from her picture, I think it's safe to assume that giving up the poon to get virtual currency was her only way of getting any ass.

The WoW distributors should put a disclaimer on future games: "We shall not be held liable should you contract disease, become victim to harm, etc. etc. as a result of your internet prostitution."

Um, EW.

Consensus among the girl gamers I know is that this is fake. Within 24 hours she apparently had done the deed, got the gold, bought the horse and taken a screenshot. Highly unlikely.

Holy crap I hate internet gaming people. Every time I see that p@wnd thing or whatever it is and the "all your base belong to us" I come close to seizures.

My ex was OBSESSSSSSSSSSED with Ever Quest. I'd go over there to spend time with him and he'd sit there for hours. He'd get on when he woke up in the morning, and stay on till 4am. Now that he has no credit card to pay for it, he's playing WoW.

I fear that he will one day go on a shooting rampage because of this game. Some of these gamers are WAY too into it, so bad that they cannot determine reality from fantasy. Did I mention he's a pathological liar? Pretty sure he gets it from the game.

WoW is the right word to describe this

Yeah I'm calling bullshit on this one for the reasons OTW listed plus many others that if I listed would make me sound incredibly dorky, so I'll keep them to myself and just say no way.

Wow, that's incredibly sad if it's true.

This is completely fake. There's a well-known player on the Laughing Skull server whose thing is yelling out PUNKS! which is done twice in the second craigslist posting. Plus I know someone who talked to his guildmaster and his gm admitted it was fake.

Also...OLD NEWS!

OMG I would cast lvl 12 enchantment on that hottie.

Haha I forgot you were my fellow WoW nerd on GC.

lol, are you a WoW fanatic?? I've never played any of those role playing games other than one of the final fantasy games for ps2. I remember growing up my mom wouldn't let me or my brother play D&D because it was " from the devil"!

That just makes me think of this (rather famous) IM convo.

I cast Lvl. 3 Eroticism. You turn into a real beautiful woman.

haha I know thats hilarious.

So messed up on so many levels, but I thought a few things in her "ad" were funny:

Sounds like she was a little desperate to get some... haha

Some of my friends used to be into online gaming and told me for a few bucks on ebay, you can buy whatever kind of game currency you want... not sure why she didn't go that route :rolleyes:

Because a. it's a bannable offense if Blizzard (the parent game company) finds out and b. buying gold can pretty much ensure your account will get hacked and then subsequently banned again.
Plus this was completely fake :)

No no no.

We are talking about people that may be deficient in people skills and may have some emotional problems. So if playing WoW keeps them from becoming serial killes or mass murders . . I say let them play :)

It is now official. I am a dinosaur. A dinosaur who played D & D back in the day, but named her computer "Luddite". Sigh.
Although I did once have a student tell me that the fact I played D & D made me the coolest teacher EVER. What this says about him, I don't know. I'll take what I can get!

gotta say i don't usually agree with you on a lot, but we're on the same wavelength here...

My bf in fact spent money to buy items on ebay for Diablo 2. :D

But how much does 5000 gold in WoW cost...I admit I play Neverwinter Nights and 5000 doesn't sound a lot to me, lol

And it reminds me that one South Park episode where they all sat in the basement and played WoW killing boars for days and nights just to upgrade themselves...the part where they crap on the floor was pretty bad, lol

You guys should be watching the simpsons right now.

that was hilarious

5000 gold is about $800 to buy.

bwhahahahaha you had me at "world of warcraft"

im not gonna repeat any of what's been said above, except i too had a friend/coworker who was OBSESSED with d&d and Everquest. he would skip staff meetings to play the damn thing. and his hard drive was old as dust, and he was spending crazy money oon what i guess was the subscription fee to play it online with other people...

yeah. but if games keeps the crazies in, so be it.
(just thought of a HORIBLE joke but its really too soon...)

I will admit that made me laugh- namely because... well... I actually play WoW...
But getting a flying mount doesn't take that long to get.

3rd WoW nerd spotted! Alliance or Horde?

Not according to the latest 'gold spams' :cool:

Haha, are you a 4th WoWer here? The 'legit' sources for buying gold list 5k gold as around $800. Speaking of gold, I finally cracked 500 and I now have less than 100 to go for my epic kitty.

Oh I'm sure there's more than just four :p

But yeah I play and have since the beta - the game design forum I visit tends to attract alot of developers looking for people to look at game play and mechanics - so I've gotten to experience WoW, WoW:BC, LOTRO, GW, CoH, and CoV all in beta phases (hoping for Warhammer, Conan, or Fallen Earth next) but WoW is the only one I've stuck with as something to actual play with as a hobby.

Second Law: Virtual Disputes in the Real World
 

While I know very little about actually playing the games, I wrote my legal seminar paper on Virtual Reality Games & Real World Disputes. So much crazy stuff happens in these games. I focused mine on Second Life because I know most about it, but it's insane. Of course, I assume most people who play the game know about the guy in WoW who murdered his "friend" who stole his virtual sword. A CEO of a virtual bank (in everquest, i think) cashed out with something like a $100,00 dollars of other people's money. It's insane the things going on in these games....but so intriguing.

A surprising amount of conflict, and just plain crazy, from these 'virtual enviroments' does spill over into the 'real world' -both are real since you are interacting with them, just through a different medium, which I think alot of people tend to forget. They assume different social attitudes within the game/simulation enviroment that'll allow them to act out in ways they would never consider in actual person to person interactions mainly due to the aninimity granted through the creation of 'virtual personas'... only thing is though some people take it to extremes, or become so invested emotionally in the virtual world they make extremely poor choices when it comes to the real world.

A case in point is this:

Guy was an a**hole in game to a woman - woman's husband gets mad and tells guy off in game - a**hole makes mistake of telling husband off and stupidly giving out his physical address - a**hole ends up getting badly beaten up by irrate husband and buddies...

As a lot of people have pointed out, a PvP server means you're gonna get camped. It's the point. It's also why I refuse to play on a PvP server. Call me a baby but I love being able to level without fear of gankage.

Make-A-Wish makes WoW dream a reality
 

I thought this was pretty cool. Glad to know that WoW's not just for weird people who prostitute themselves online.

10 year old becomes the first outsider to create a new character in World of Warcraft

That to me is awesome. Of course, I'm the one that trys to work Luddite into conversations and accuse my friends that don't want to play PhotoHunt at the bar of being agoraphobic Luddites.

Oh dear...this thread totally reminds me of my friend's freshman roommate who used to play WoW all day buck naked in the dorms.

No classes. No friends. Just WoW. Dude finally joined the army for some real-life WoW kind of action, but dang. If Mount Chick mounted anyone, it would've totally been that guy, haha.

So wrong on so many levels... but pretty much confirms my fears and mental image of some of the freaks you bump into playing MMOs.

Poopsock.
