Blizzard considering World of Warcraft app for cell phones
The one problem with World of Warcraft (besides all other facets of your life disintegrating like a tomato in time-lapse footage) is that you can't play it on the go (no, this guy doesn't count). Though a new app being spit-balled at Blizzard won't fix that problem, it may just make traveling a tad bit more bearable.
MTV got the scoop during a sit-down with Frank Pearce, co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment, in which he talked about a mobile division working within the company. "I don't think we're looking at it as something like, 'We're going to make mobile games,'" he said. "We want to look at the mobile devices as something we can use to enhance the experience of our existing games." To that end, Pearce mentions the possibility of an app that would let mobile users monitor their auctions or read their in-game mail while on the go.
It's still in the brainstorming stages, but it's probably enough to start getting fans excited. What would you like to see in a WoW mobile app?

I concur, and I also LOL @ "cockpunching". So many of my friends stopped their gaming in general, and when I brought it up, the same answer would return to my ears each time:
"Dude, all you need is WoW."
I say "All you need is ZAZZ." And a life. Not bashing WoW players in general, but this stuff's going to be regulated like pharmaceuticals before it's all over with.

"forget this, where's the wow IM application for pc?"
why they haven't made this yet is beyond me. being able to talk to people in game without actually logging in would be an incredible feature.
