Toasting To a One Year Anniversary.
In celebration of World of Warcraft's first successful year, Blizzard
has decided to give a little something back to the people:
To help celebrate World of Warcraft's first-year anniversary, Blizzard is

Something Need Doing?
Sci-Fi novelist Keith R.A. DeCandido (Star Trek, Andromeda) is bringing a little
more than upgrades to Warcraft players. He is writing a series of novels devoted
to the World of Warcraft series. The first book will be called "World of
Warcraft: Cycle of Hatred." A very fitting title given the books contents:
The Burning Legion has been defeated, and eastern regions of Kalimdor
are now shared by two nations: the orcs of Durotar, led by their noble Warchief,
Thrall; and the humans of Theramore, led by one of the most powerful mages alive
-- Lady Jaina Proudmoore. But the tentative peace between orcs and humans is
suddenly crumbling. Random attacks against Durotar's holdings suggest that the
humans have renewed their aggression toward the orcs. Now Jaina and Thrall must
avert disaster before old hatreds are rekindled -- and Kalimdor is plunged into
another devastating war. Jaina's search to uncover the truth behind the attacks

Are you a heretic or a believer? Will the Burning Crusade be hot or just luke-warm?
Those crazy bananas at our World of Warcraft site have posted a great article that takes a look at the upcoming Burning Crusade expansion. How will this expansion affect you, or will it? Find out in, "Thoughts on the Burning Crusade: How Will It Affect You?".
" But as the future of the Game shifts before us, I realised that by raising the level cap an extra 10 levels, it will change the face of the (medium-end) game as we have come to know it. It will seriously affect many in-game aspects that few have considered. "

More coverage of the Chinese boy who's impersonation of a hot air
balloon failed miserably, inciting his parents to sue Blizzard debacle
is posted at Ferrago.
"The lawsuit against Blizzard blames the dangerous
influences of their
title for the boy's death, and the case is being supported by the vocal
Zhang Chunliang, an activist who has in the past sought to educate on
the dangers of internet
addictions. The suit will be filed soon and Chungliang claims he has
spoken to over sixty parents, concerned about the impact of online
addictions on their children. Blizzard have yet to respond to the
lawsuit, which has yet to be officially filed, but it is likely that
this will prove a test case for China's perception of online gaming and
the associated risks. "
Hot on the hooves of the other sites reporting about the Blizzard
lawsuit, TechSpot has jumped into the fray.
"In China, the
parents of a 13-year-old Tianjin boy are suing the makers of "World
of Warcraft" because they claim
that the game was responsible for the death of their son!
Seemingly, the boy jumped to his death after re-enacting a scene from
the game, according to Chinese news agency Xinhua. Anti-Internet
addiction advocate Zhang Chunliang is backing the parent’s suit against
Blizzard Entertainment. Chunliang has apparently spoken to 63 parents
whose children have allegedly suffered from online gaming addiction, and has a class-action
suit in the works. "
