He writes and edits articles for the official website of WoW, which has almost 8 million players worldwide and is the world's biggest Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG).
The game is so popular that some trinkets my brother-in-law got from his holiday party are selling for $300 on ebay.
Furthermore, NPR's All Things Considered did a feature on people who are exploiting WoW's popularity and setting up WoW sweatshops. In these sweatshops, laborers are paid low wages to play characters for long hours -- with the sole purpose of making virtual money that will later be converted into real money.
Crazy...now we have virtual sweatshops, not just real ones.

Anonymous,
Thank you for your concern about my career. I'm honestly touched. I can tell you're a person who has found deep fulfillment and satisfaction in his personal, vocational, and spiritual life. If I'm ever in the area and visiting KCPC, I'd love it if you would come by after the service and say hi - I'm sure I can learn a lot from you.
Peace,
Bro-in-law

Of course I remember you. Hope you're doing well.
Just asked my brother-in-law about it... not sure if he's in charge of that, but I let him know anyway.

She's not really a girl... she's just pubescint little inkkling of a man pretending to be a night-elf so all the other characters share their inventory.
