Night Elf Seeks Gnome for LTR

Posted on November 14, 2007 by Meg

On a completely unrelated note, I just found out there’s a World Of WarCraft dating site, where WoW gamers can, er, hook up. I’m not making this up, it’s called World Of DateCraft. The site’s pretty new, with beta warning … Continue reading →
