Perhaps it is a PR stunt – Internet and blog buzz is worth millions in actual PR. Hear the roar, change the decision, blizzard is a hero, free PR for a week.

Another for the list – anyone who is a member of a guild which others have prejudice against, who don’t want that association splashed around in public.

For example: the various GLBT guilds – you’ll only post if you’re out and proud and don’t care if your pig of a boss finds out.

I hope my wow doesnt break, cuz if it does. im sure as hell not posting in the forums. if I play the game very much longer that is.

Also, you forgot the 12 year old with his own account who isnt educated enough to NOT tell people what state or city he lives in. I bet mom and dad wont like that.
