聽When Bejeweled maker PopCap Games caught wind of the clone, they didn't threaten the gamer with a lawsuit - they hired him to design an official, more polished version of Bejeweled for World of Warcraft.聽
While it's great that World of Warcraft players have a new in-game distraction to help pass downtime, it says something about the nature of Cheap WoW Gold聽%26#8211; and its players - that it's perfectly accepted and acceptable to have stretches of the game that are so boring that players will turn to a game-within-a-game for amusement.
Let's see, you're paying $15 a month to play a game that not only soaks up absolutely immense amounts of time, but is occasionally so dull that you need something to distract you from it? And yet not playing the game would be unthinkable, right? That's a textbook example of addiction, isn't it?
Hey, we don't judge. We just observe.
If video games were drugs - and heck, some argue that they are - this would be the equivalent of saying, "Hey, crack cocaine isn't quite addictive enough. Let's mix it with some crystal meth!"
World of Warcraft, the online role-playing game that immerses players in a massive virtual fantasy world populated by millions of gamers from across the globe, welcomed a new addition this week that has little to do with orcs, elves or paladins: the puzzle game Bejeweled.
Just like in real life, there are times in World of Warcraft when players don't actually do much of anything, like when waiting for a large group to assemble for a massive, highly organized raid on an enemy fortress. Now, WoW fans can choose to pass this thumb-twiddling downtime by playing Bejeweled, the frighteningly addictive, gem-festooned puzzler beloved by casual gamers everywhere.
The idea was the brainchild of World of Warcraft player Michael Fromwiller, who used the game's built-in modification tools to design a Bejeweled clone that can be downloaded and played in a window overlaid on top of the main World of Warcraft gold聽screen.
