==How It Begins==
You are an obsessive World of Warcraft gamer, carrying nothing. You have traveled to the Blizzard HQ in California and now stand in their lobby. You see the receptionist, a blue pen, and a grey object here. You are here to hack into the WoW servers to give your character, Kelthumaxim, a secret item called the Sword of 1000 Truths.

==Notable Features==
* Very buggy. Bugs include the takeable receptionist, [[guess-the-noun]] (e.g.: the grey object is a USB drive, but the player can only refer to it as "drive1"), and an [[unexitable room bug]] (the closet).
* [[Guess-the-verb]]. The non-standard verbs are DELETE, BACKUP, and IMPORT.

==Trivia and Comments==
* According to Wikipedia, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blizzard_Entertainment Blizzard Entertainment]'s headquarters are located in Irvine, California.
* The Sword of 1000 Truths was first invented for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_Love%2C_Not_Warcraft Make Love, Not Warcraft] television episode of ''South Park''. In the episode, the sword was stored on a USB drive. And according to [http://www.pro-g.co.uk/news/13-10-2006-3828-1.html this article], the sword will (or already has by now) been created for the real WoW game in the Burning Crusade expansion.
* The author himself notes, at the end, that WoW is a far better game than this one.
