"Entire cities in the World of Warcraft have been destroyed with no one spared, not even the NPCs. About 13:00 GMT, forums on WOW started getting the first comments from users regarding players and NPCs dying on the Ragnaros-EU realm in Orgrimmar. Users of the online game started reporting that Draenor had a similar sight to offer. Some of the other realms where this was reported include Tarren Mill, and Twisting Nether."

Also at Joystiq, and (with more screenshots) at WCCF Tech, which reports that "it appears the damage is most severe in World of Warcraft European servers."

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.

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.

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 have a dirt root cellar.

The spiders and snakes play Twister down there.

They’re pretty quiet, for the most part.

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

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.

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!
