World of Warcraft : The WoW vs. WAR debate makes Top 10 list of video game rage
Alec Meer of Rock, Paper, Shotgun in recent times put a new twist on the 'top 10' lists that are cropping up at year's end -- a sort of top ten of gaming rage as expressed on the intertubes. Much of this list is spotlighted on single-gamer titles and the industry itself, but Meer's 'Orc vs Orc' (#8 on the list) caught our attention.
Meer writes, "We've already talked today about the absurd, insane fanboy fallout from our own comparisons between Warhammer Online and World of Warcraft, but in truth it was a torrent of poison that briefly gripped MMORPG sites the world over. Notably, MUDfather Richard Bartle endured toonassassination by a raft of WAR fansites after an conversation in which he apparently stated the two games were very similar." That conversation in question was actually Dr. Bartle's talk with our own (master) Michael Zenke back in June.
