With Christmas right around the corner, make sure you’re prepared to give your children the gift of Warcraft. In case you didn’t know, World of Warcraft is a MMORPG (Mass Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game). Scratch that – World of Warcraft is THE MMORPG. With over 10 million players online, there’s a high probability that you know someone or know of someone who enjoys the World of Warcraft (more commonly known as WOW). Here are 5 great gift ideas any WOW player would enjoy.

World of Warcraft Expansion: Wrath of the Lich King. $39.99

With the recent release of the new Expansion Pack for the World of Warcraft on 11/13/2008, there has been a stampede to stores all over the world to grab a copy of one of the most anticipated game releases of all time. At 12 A.M. on 11/13, gamers were lined up at various Gamestop stores all over the nation to grab a copy. Picture Black Friday at Wal-mart.
