ENworlders: Want a World of Warcraft Beta Account?

My first post was kind of silly, let me rephrase...

ENworld is quite groovy. There are lots of cool people here and I enjoy reading your posts and interacting with you all. ENworld is a maaaaagical place and you never know what's going to come up.

I work for Blizzard Entertainment and I still have a few slots to sign "friends" up for the Worldof Warcraft beta. I was thinking that it would be great if I could give these accounts to fellow ENworlders who also enjoy Warcraft, MMORPGs ("Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games"), or even people who were interesting in giving such things a try.

So from now until... Noon (PST) Monday (July 5th), post to this thread with a poem, haiku, picture, or just anything that expresses your love for ENworld or Warcraft...Or both! (Bonus points for those of you who go for the "both" option.)

If the file of your entry is quite big, you can host it yourself on geocities/yahoo or something a post a link.

I'll choose three and sign them up for the beta. If you are one of the three chosen AND an ENworld community supporter when you enter, then I'll sign up one friend of yours as well.

Entries that incur the ire of Eric's Grandmother (TM) will be disregarded with extreme prejudice!

No purchase is necessary.

The current min system specs for the WoW beta are
- 800 Mhz CPU
- 256 MB RAM
- Geforce 2 Graphics Card

A broadband connection works best of course, but I’m told dialup is quite playable.

This is not an official contest and is in no way officially connected to ENworld, Blizzard Entertainment, or Vivendi/Universal. The only connection is me, and I’m doing this of my own volition because ENworld and, by extension each and every one of you, is cool. So don't go emailing any of these three entities about this because they won't know what in the nine levels of the Inferno you're talking about. (Although I did email Russ to let him know I wanted to do this madness.)

Have fun. :)

People call me a dork, for wanting to be an orc.
Being in the horde, will keep me from getting bored.
Combat is what I like, sure hope I can use a pike?
Protect the innocent nay, slaughter them all day!

ENworld is my home, just looking for a place to roam.
Hear the barrens are nice, hope I don't get lice.
Just browse the forums, us orcs have no decorum!

The alliance must fall, will you answer the call?
My brother in arms, will help burn down their farms!
Combat is what I like, can use a club with a spike.
Protect the innocent nay, slaughter them all day!
 

Heh, I was going to make one haiku. I ended up making three, with a connecting theme. :)

Lok-tar ogar, grunts!
Sound the horns and beat the drums,
To war for the Horde!

In Doomhammer's name
Slaves shall never the orcs be,
The Horde needs my axe!

Earth, storm, and fire,
Heed the cry of warchief Thrall,
My life for the Horde!

The Horde leaves a stink where they tread.
They have fouled this ENWorld thread!
As a gnome engineer
With some fine dwarven beer
I'll make sure these orcs are found dead!

EDIT: Cleaned it up a bit. Also, I'd like to say to thanks to Innocent for thinking of us ENWorlders who are keen on getting into WoW beta. :)

My love of Warcraft
As a massive multi too
Knows zero limit.
[*]



With much time on hand
The whole wide World of Warcraft
Shall be my playfield.


Yet my first love still
Even though there are less orcs
Would be EN World


[*For reference, check out this thread.]

[Edit: Added a second image, just to show that I'm both a fan and a green orc ;) /Edit]
[Edit 2: I've asked my posse to speak up on my behalf :D /Edit]
[Edit 3: The last one - I promise! Added another posse picture. /Edit]

Though it would be nice to get the knack
for mowing down each orc I hack
I simply am just off the track.
And even though WoW is worse than crack
My setup here is mighty whack
For though I've got ATI in the back
I can't play on a G4 Mac.

(though I've got a friend...)

If Eric Noah
Were to play in Warcraft's world,
Would he be an orc?

Green-skinned Warcraft orc,
What would Eric's grandma think
Of the words you speak?

"Loktar, dabu, hrmm?"
Perhaps not eloquent, but
Better than the trolls.

"Warcraft's just one more
Imitation of the one
And only true game." ;)
