This could be the end of the world...of Warcraft.

[TADSLOS]

heh heh...

[vbmoneyspender]

There are rumors that folks over at Blizzard were already aware of a hack and were working on [a way] to resolve the issue but before they fixed the issue, they actually blocked the hackers who were behind the exploit. This got the hackers angry and they went on to kill everyone in the cities. More on this as we find out.

Some particular user going by the name ‘Jadd’ has posted a video claiming to have nuked entire cities. There is no official news of Blizzard as yet about the reason behind the dead cities. We have got the videos [below].

Hilarious. We should have a do-over of the jobless rate, I bet there are several hundred thousand more “looking for work” now.

[dalebert]

hahhahaha....rolling in the floor..hahahhaha!!!

[dalebert]

Thunder Bluff and Crossroads(Chuck Norris’s hometown) are still good.

[EEGator]

Is Chuck Norris in World of Warcraft?

[roadcat]

I swear that graphic looks like a picture of a close friend of mine. He was a well-know admin in World of Warcraft, until he died of a heart attack over a year ago. I never understood the game, despite him trying to show me. That world was his life. After his retirement he told me he just wore his shorts sitting at his computer and would eat and sleep there, playing for days and days. A neighbor called the police when he didn’t come out for days and they found him dead at his computer. The game is addictive and dangerous!

We get news from the virtual worlds now?

Part of me thinks this is funny.

Part of me wonders if someone is trying to tell us something.

[Txngal]

Nothing could ever EVER destroy Barrens chat.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

only when it’s breaking

[EEGator]

I’m sorry to hear about your friend. The pic is a snapshot from a South Park episode about World of Warcraft...funny episode.

[vbmoneyspender]

We get news from the virtual worlds now?

Virtual news to go with a virtual administration

[Salamander]

I'm sorry but this made me LMAO.

[I used to play SimCity and I was a generous but capricious “god”]

[EEGator]

All of me thinks this is funny.

[Optimus Prime]

The game has had up to 11 million subscribers at one point. Given that we haven’t had a sudden influx of millions of dead geeks I’d say the issue has less to do with the game and more to do with an addictive personality combined with poor health.

[Crazieman]

Rule #1. Never ever talk about Barrens chat.
Rule #2. NEVER EVER TALK ABOUT BARRENS CHAT!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

[dalebert]

for sure..

[cripplecreek]

Heh heh he

1962:

Me: "Dad, in 2012, news will come from virtual worlds that exist only on computer servers"
Dad: "What? Have you been in granny's cooking wine?" Beating commences.

Dad would never have believed this.

Where’s Mankrik’s wife?

[Salamander]

I dunno but Eric Bloom of Blue Oyster Cult is a big time WOW junkie.

[kinda makes a lot of BOC songs suddenly very relevant]

;D

[dalebert]

yes ..Chucks home town in WOW and he approves

[Salamander]

‘Part of me wonders if someone is trying to tell us something.”

Like “Grow up, get a life and move out of your mom’s basement”?

[dalebert]

dead

[pennyfarmer]

I wouldn’t laugh too hard. We are close to the election and when these guys cant play they may go out and vote for something to do.

[jusduat]

Oh! The Hugh Manatee!

[dalebert]

lol..Im 66 and got my own basement.

[Salamander]

I just heard a report on the radio about doctors trying to classify internet addiction as a mental disorder.

Maybe this is the AMA’s first strike.

[I can quit the webbernet any time I want to]

[EEGator]

I wonder if he feared the Reaper...

[EEGator]

He moved...a little.

[Salamander]

I have a dirt root cellar.

The spiders and snakes play Twister down there.

They’re pretty quiet, for the most part.

:)

[eyedigress]

They need to check those round-faced kids from South Park.

[Zhang Fei]

A neighbor called the police when he didn’t come out for days and they found him dead at his computer. The game is addictive and dangerous!

How old was he when he died?

[EEGator]

I didn’t write that. Funny response though.

[cableguymn]

Wait! This might explain the drop in unemployment..

if their players are dead maybe all those mama’s basement dwellers went out and got jobs!

[shibumi]

At least the Real World of YouTube is still safe .....

[Pedro45]

Oh no, don’t tell this kid.

[dalebert]

Many like the social aspect of the game.

[EEGator]

"You're about to get pwned!"

[bigdaddy45]

or Molly Hatchet

[EEGator]

I can understand that. I have friends that play PS3 online and talk to each other. The just wait until their women are asleep.

[nuconvert]

Let me know if it reaches Hays, KS.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

LOL!

[Conservative4Ever]

Tried to play WOW with my adult kids one night...all I could make my character do was walk on the ceilings. Never went back...my kids were disappointed. Oh and my granddaughter too.

[dalebert]

why do you think Obama wants to put highspeed internet in all public housing...not for jobs training..its to get them hooked so they are content to do nothing.Most of the people I know are professionals working class
