World of Warcraft Inspires Porn

Posted Mar 3, 08 4:55 PM CST in Arts & Living,  Technology    Most Covered

(Newser) – Perhaps it was inevitable: The 8 to 10 million members of the user community for Blizzard Entertainment’s World of Warcraft multiplayer game now have porn tailored specifically to the details of their escapist world, the Village Voice reports. Entering its second season, the “Whorelore” web-series (originally “Whorecraft,” before Blizzard complained) depicts roleplaying’s salacious side.

"Whorelore" creator Dez, a huge fan of the game, makes the series with an attention to detail that obsessive WoW players can appreciate. Those fans have rewarded him by buying "Whorelore" installments online in droves. And their participation doesn’t end there: Some of Dez’s female performers came through game contacts, and other users send him ideas for scenes they’d like to see. Coming soon: hot minotaur action.
