I don't play World of Warcraft, but I do play Peggle, so I know all about losing your workday to a videogame.
This partnership kills the alt-tab action known to lovers of both titles. Just like Bejeweled being an Add-On, Pop Cap's puzzler Peggle has joined in the fun. There are twelve stages in this add-on, and they're all based on major locations in WoW. You can even duel against other players in WoW, going as far as to create custom leaderboards for your guild. A new command, /peggleloot, is a fresh way to use this game to "roll" for loot.
Pop Cap tells us that this add-on was developed by Michael Fromwiller, the guy that made the original Beshared and then later the official Bejewelled add-on. It turns out that he'll be joining the ranks at PopCap full-time after he graduates in June. Congrats, Michael.

But seriously, what smartass put crack in my heroin.
NO! Damn you PopCap!
Coming from a hardcore raiding background: this shit is a godsend. Waiting around for your fuckhead mage class officer to repair because he pulled aggro too many times because he can't control himself is such a waste of time.
That's not a pun.
this is so true. i don't know how many times (back when i used to play WoW) that i'd make a game of trying to jump from one pointy rock to another pointy rock and then back to see if i could beat my previous score -- while the guildheads argued over how to attempt a raid-boss.
This is close to what you're talking about
Its a system a lot of raid guilds on various MMos use to distribute raid loot fairly. In essence, you show up or sdo stuff for the guild, you earn dkp, which you have to use to bid on when items your character can use drop off a boss.
Generally guilds on wow use it because
1: Some people will join a raid guild,, get their loot, and leave. this way forces them to at least contribute to get 1337 gear
2: even if nobody can afford to bid on it, the enchanters can break it apart to make materials for enchantments
