This Week In MMO-Land: Getting Laid For Warcraft
Plus Fallout news from our reporter in MMO land, Greg McNevin.
So talk all the trash you want, I got MY Epic flying mount AND I got laid
By Greg McNevin
This year will see the release of two burly challengers to World of Warcraft’s domination of the MMORPG scene, The Lord of the Rings Online and the much anticipated Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.
Conan’s Beta testing has finally begun, with the public beta opening last week and a staggering 100,000+ players plunging into Aquilonia so far. 50,000 of which signed up in the first 24 hours alone.
The beta is still open for registration, sign up here.
Conan’s developers are hoping to snatch a hoard of World of Warcraft players, and if they’re anything like the next two WoWzers, Aquilonia could be interesting for a number of reasons.
For the initiated (and there's still got to be some gamers who've not played WoW) Epic Flying Mounts are a prized possession among WoW players. So, much so, one female Laughing Skull player decided that instead of wasting hours farming gold or spending hard cash buying it she would prefer to spend just one hour with one geeky sugar daddy (or sugar momma as the craigslist ad says).
“Hello I need 5,000 world of gold for my Epic flying mount,” reads the ad. “In return, you can mount me.”
Lovely. Going by www.ige.com, 5,000 WoW gold amounts to around £470. Now call me crazy, but for that kind of money you could get a high-class professional or depending on your standards, several professionals.
Still, it didn’t take long for a taker to emerge, much to the delight of one level 70 night-elf druid.
“I got my epic mount in about an hour that was very enjoyable for both parties while all of you idiots probably spent hundreds of hours farming for yours or don't even have them,” she wrote in a follow up message to the ad. “I'm planning to meet him again later this week, he's getting double value for his gold :D
“So talk all the trash you want, I got MY Epic flying mount AND I got laid which is more than most of you failures can ever hope for.”
What more could you expect from the server that spawned the legend of Leeroy Jenkins?
And finally, Fallout 3 is well and truly on the way now, but in an interesting development a Fallout MMOG could be on the cards. When Bethesda forked out US$5.75-million (£2.85-million) to license the rights for the post-apocalyptic RPG from Interplay, part of the contract stipulated that Interplay can still launch a Fallout MMOG, provided it does it within six years. Not only this, full-scale development would have to start within 24 months of the agreement being signed.
With all that cash from the sale in its pocket, a relatively small window and another title in the franchise on the way, the stars could indeed be aligned just right for Interplay to launch a new Fallout MMORPG.

Disturbing, yet unsurprising...hmm can you actually call it getting 'laid' by a (self professed) nerd?? Not sure if 15mins looking for the hole and 1 to blow counts? That's enough thought on the topic me thinks.

“So talk all the trash you want, I got MY Epic flying mount AND I got laid which is more than most of you failures can ever hope for.”
The whoring one's self out is fine by me. But the overall rudeness is uncalled for. Gloating that she got to f**ked by a randomly suitor (who probably hadn't had an HIV test), and calling her compatriots failures...
This woman's no lady.
