According to Dutch university graduate Theo Zijderveld, WoW could be considered a religion as it meets the four dimensions required to constitute one by French sociologist Danil Hervieu-Lger's: Community, ethics, culture and emotion.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
It certainly seems to inspire similar levels of devotion in some its followers.
Well, I am really afraid to say anything here. People seem to be morbidly religious on N4G (yes, I am still upset of losing a bubble on that Islamic RTS game news comment, it was an honest question!).
Basically, I think WoW has as much right to be a religion as any set of beliefs. One thing I think it lacks atm is the fact that it's only been around for a short while. Come back after a generation or so!
Also, obviously, lots of people in WoW already subscribe to other religions simultaneously...
I'm certainly devoted :) Where do I sign up?
Infidels.
You are all infidels.
Islam is the light.
Christianity is the saviour.
Judaism is the school.
Go chew on that you racists.
lol, religion, it always makes me laugh.
