So let me preference this with a little back-story about my life. Hmmm, how do I say this in a way that makes total sense... I am a member of the only Non-Governmental Aid Organization in Azeroth. We help those in need in war-torn areas much like the read cross helps people on earth. We are known as the 3rd faction, we try to promote peace between horde and alliance on a PVP server. Not an easy task. For the past several months we have performing outreach events around Silicone Valley and Demon Soul. All of these events have now culminated in our big unveiling of /hug at the Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach California. The exhibit, WoW: Emergent Media Phenomenon, opens this weekend and runs through October 4th. If you are in the SoCal region come check it out. There are a bunch of awesome artists in the exhibition and Laguna will be hosting WoW related art events all month in conjunction with the show. Game culture was a subculture, now we are just becoming culture.
I don't play WoW, and while watching the video I wasn't sure at first if the aid provided was in-game or not. (silly me right)
Its interesting to know that a group like this exists though, and its not particularly surprising that users get satisfaction out of helping others.

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
