World of Warcraft expansion
http://bit.ly/1iZeQxo
Blizzard announces new World of Warcraft expansion and more at BlizzCon 2013
World of Warcraft is getting a new expansion that raises the level cap to 100. It’s called Warlords of Draenor, and while Metzen didn’t bother to announce an actual release date he did take time to point out that this expansion introduces a new world to explore, new character models, and a new garrison system that lets players build their own strongholds on Draenor and recruit NPCs to hang out inside. You’ll be able to accept missions based on your stronghold, and you customize what bonuses the stronghold affords you based on the buildings you construct.

World of Warcraft and Learning with Teens
Interview with Peggy Sheehy and Lucas Gillespie on student learning in Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplay Games (MMORPGs).
Held in Elluminate (Webinar) 29th July 2010
Many students today are engaged in what some have called a parallel curriculum. This learning isn't taking place in desks or even in schools, but rather in virtual spaces called Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplay Games or MMORPG's. These game-based worlds force players to tackle a variety of cognitive challenges that scale proportionately as their skill level and proficiency increases.

Educrafting in World of Warcraft
Okay, I am admitting that I have tried World of Warcraft (WoW). I tried it for about two years. Perhaps even more. The goal was to see "what the kids were doing because I believe it is important for a teacher to have an understanding in youth cultures such as the gaming ditto." Two years later I was more or less hooked.
