Blizzard Invades MySpace, /wrist Command Added to WoW |
Ó
Well, only the second part of that title isn't true. Blizzard Entertainment, maker of the ever-popular MMORPG World of Warcraft, has followed in Dungeon and Dragons Online's footsteps and made their way to MySpace, and boy, are they getting popular. With more than 33,000 accounts added to the friends list, WoW has picked a rather good place to remind people of the game. They've also added a ton of freebies to the page, including AIM icons, MySpace WoW pets, and a link to their 10-day free trial for game.
While not really being an overwhelming percentage of the more than six million strong WoW population, 33,000 people viewing the page is still a significant number when compared to other sites, especially since MySpace is also an online journal, which tends to have a more personal or private atmosphere compared to a full-fledged website. Perhaps it is one part social networking, and another part advertisement for the game, not that they quite need it now, but it is an ingenious and successful use of the site to further make WoW a household name worldwide.
At the very least, it should dispel the idea of MySpace being "emo central," we hope.
