Advertising To The Next Level That May Make You Say WoW

Krunal | August 29, 2008 | Blog | PC

When an avid WoW gamer entered the world of warcraft, he was stunned to find the streets lined up with dead female gnomes... However it wasn't till he zoomed out till he discovered what was actually going on... the Gnomes were in fact an advertisement by a gold farming company. Take a look at the screenshots below.

Sometimes you just gotta love coincidence. Take last night for example: I log in to WoW to check on my auctions, hoping to have finally sold some of the items I’ve listed multiple times when I notice a whole lot of hoopla going on in the area between the auction house and bank in Ironforge.
