Coolest Guy in Warcraft

Who is the coolest guy in Warcraft? The World of Warcraft, Blizzard’s top selling MMORPG (that’s massive multiplayer online role playing game for you), boasts 9 million online players at the time of writing. With this many players hooked to the game, it is obvious that a large fraction of them would surely be vying for the title “coolest guy in Warcraft”. Well, if you search “coolest guy in Warcraft” on Google, and click on the top search result, you get to be introduced to Stee. Stee, a level 60 warlock who used to play in Archimonde - arguably one of the most prestigious servers with a lot of history (Archimonde was one the first four servers ever released during the game’s beta trial version) â€" states that he is the ‘special’ one who has the right to this sought after title. He claims that he was in fact one of the first players to ever play â€" he bought his copy on game’s first day of release back in October 2004 â€" but the story gets better than that. Unlike having to queue up outside an electronic gaming shop overnight like hundreds of die-hard fans all over the world did for a copy of the game, Stee befriended the proprietor of the local software outlet near his residence, and through a shared love for computer gaming, managed to get him to sell him the very first copy out of the shop! The morning of the release, Stee simply walked pass the lines outside, right up to the front door, and was handed his copy by his now good mate, much to the astonishment of those nearby. As he states on his website, “Now if that isn’t cool, I don’t know what is!” Stee’s love for WoW (as it is affectionately known as) has extended (or some will say his over-fascination) so far that he has actually written a guide on how to make gold (that’s the currency the game uses) to educate fellow WoW players on his profound knowledge and mastery over this portion of mechanics in the game. Stee is currently ranked number one on Google for the keyword coolest guy in warcraft . Visit his site on coolestguyinwarcraft.com to find out more.
