I knew Blizzard was up to something!!

Seriously, though inventive as it may be, I doubt "terrorists" were(or are, ever) meeting in a virtual world to plot their attacks.


What do ya'll think? Is it really that far off?

I think it's scary. I don't see the difference between meeting in a virtual world or real life, only a virtual world your chat is logged.

I hope that nothing happens from it and is all forgotten.

+1, I can't believe the article is even serious.

The dragon fire spell must be a nuclear warhead! OMG!

They're just retarded, ok? If something like this ever happens, they'll be like "oh, we could have seen it coming, never again will we let this happen, let's now invade this country"

Sadly, men like draquish and rainigul are in the minority. The rest will see this as a real threat and add more fuel to the fire that threatens to burn the tree of liberty.

Hell you could say the same about any sort of communication: MSN, mobile phones, forums, hell even srf could be a terrorist hideout in disguise. With a world full of unlimited communication methods how the hell do you expect them to uncover every single ploy that could be imagined on any god dam communication outlet >_<

How is it? Whats the difference between them? Both are a way of transmitting the same method electronically over a connected network.

Watch out, WoW in the white house.

Now we know what NSA does all day...play online games!

Maybe we should apply for a job? Resume : Extensive virtual experience, can 1337 talk and have a LVL 70 Shaman!

(I didn't know the caves in Afghanistan had internet access...snap, are they on a wireless connection?)

You think the u.s army would have noticed the caves with a satellite dish and wires hooked to the outside of them. :P

Idiots, we all know they plan through starcraft. They need to spend more time lurking or they might sound as stupid as they did there.

If terrorists ever did do this, why would they play on wow? More likely to do SRO, but then they wouldn't be able to connect, so I guess it makes sense.
