Blizzard has added a feature to their website allowing users to view up to date statistics on some of the many data points contained within the massively massive multiplayer world. The WoW stats allow you to see the most auctioned items (Runecloth), most dangerous NPCs (Drek’Thar), most looted items (Linen Cloth), most created items (Soul Shard), most complete quests (A Threat Within) and the most gathered items (Chopper Ore). Whew. So go forth statistics nerds and bury yourself in gobs and gobs of data related to the game everyone loves to hate.

From the title I hope you all realize that the link below is beyond NSFW, so don’t even try it, unless of course you are the boss and can do whatever you want or need to perform, uh, “research”. An interesting meeting of industries occurred recently with the launch of Whores of Warcraft, a porn site featuring professional porn stars who also happen to be fans of World of Warcraft, recreating characters and scenes from World of Warcraft, mainly some of the unofficial, um, ‘scenes’ that we all know happen in WoW alllllll the time. Come on all you Night Elves, you know what we’re talking about. Each episode is available for digital download, selling for around $8 a pop, with the second episode being released soon. Er, so I’ve heard…

A talented World of Warcraft fan created a very well-made online comic, which covers the lore of World of Craft in comic book style layout. Let’s just hope it stays up long enough for people to enjoy.

Ultima Online and World of Warcraft mega-guild The Syndicate® has taken an epic step recently, by trademarking their guild name as well as it’s logos and identity, protecting their brand from being deluded by copycats and people wishing to make a name for themselves by protraying that they are associated with The Syndicate®. Though the guild is involved with creating guides, contributing to game development books, and cosulting, their primary operations are virtual, taking place in the various game worlds which the guild supports.

As one of the oldest, largest and most powerful guilds in all of online gaming, The Syndicate® has developed a strong reputation over the years. We seek to protect that reputation from misuse of our guild name and have taken the step of Trademarking our guild name “The Syndicate®” along with our logo and our motto.

There are a number of cases where guild’s have taken our guild name knowingly and perhaps unknowingly and used it. That has resulted in a negative impact to our reputation as a result of that misuse of our name. Thus the name was trademarked and use of that name is restricted.

Whoa, we’re beginning to think this would fit in better over at Bunch of Nerds, but you know, World of Warcraft, games, Playthrough, games. You get the idea. Dianius is addicted to pets it seems and he’s collected just about every cute little creature you can in WoW (he points out that he’s covering the non-Hunter pets btw), which means it’s time to write a guide on collecting pets! He includes a screenshot, featuring 42 of his pets, with names, locations and ways to actually acquire them (even the “rare” Pet Rock!). WoW-porn or a highly useful guide, it’s Playthrough recommended and approved.

Sadly a work in progress and somewhat unfinished, a resourceful Twin Peaks fan is currently re-creating the opening of Lynch’s television masterpiece within World of Warcraft. No word on if the creator will eventually finish his project, but so far it’s looking like he/she/it are on the right track, let’s just hope they can be persuaded to finish what is shaping up to be a cool example of video games meeting snooty high-television art.

Watch the current progress after the jump..
