[news 28]

Hello Everyone,

 

Maybe you're addicted to World of Warcraft and spend every free moment

immersed in the most popular massive multiplayer online role-playing game

(MMORPG) of all time, wandering through Azeroth doing whatever it is WoW

players do. I wouldn't know, but I assume it's a lot of questing and

raids.

 

As popular as WoW has become, I've never set virtual foot in Azeroth. Not

once. That's okay because WoW is doing just fine without my

participationThere are WoW subscribers in all corners of the globe, and it

takes a massive amount of gear to host all the different game worlds, or

realms, as they're referred to. Each realm is hosted on its own server, and

in late 2011, Activision Blizzard began auctioning off retired server

blades from the days of yore to benefit the St. Jude Children's Research

Hospital. This was a chance to own a piece of gaming history even if, like

myself, you never actually played WoW, and to add a few points to your

philanthropy skill set and level up your personal character at the same

time...
