World of Warcraft''s Wrath of the Lich King expansion is sure to usher in an epic new era in the virtual world forged by Blizzard. One of the new things in this expansion is the implementation of Achievements that will give players bragging rights. Lead game designer Jeffrey Kaplan tells us a little something about it in the full article up ahead.

Uwe Boll has a lot of experience in making movie adaptations for video games - he's the guy who directed the movie adaptations of games such as House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark. Blizzard, however, turned him down when he approached them to make the World of Warcraft movie. Story in the full article.

World of Warcraft comic book artist Ludo Lullabi had a couple of choice words to share on how he was able to make the transition from in-game screenshots to paper while doing the comic book series. In an interview conducted by MTV Multiplayer, he talks about he was able to adapt his art style to that of the in-game lore and how the project became a fulfilling achievement for him.

The virtual world of MMOs is proving to be a profitable investment, and even Harvard Business School is taking notice.

Heads up, World of Warcraft fans! MTV's Multiplayer blog has a special treat for all of you, and it comes in the form of a free online comic. It's not just any comic though, as the comic in question is World of Warcraft Issue #0.

While the previous World of Warcraft comic we featured here focused on a human who becomes a slave to an orc shaman, the focus of this story is on the roots of Rehgar Earthfury, the orc shaman mentioned previously. For more info, click on the "read more" link.

World of Warcraft players, here's you and your avatar's chance to be featured on MTV.

MTV True Life is looking for players aged 16 to 28 to feature in a showcase about how the MMORPG has affected their lives. Here's their pitch:

MTV True Life is doing a documentary for the series True Life about you in the virtual world. We want to see you and your avatars. Does your virtual avatar make you feel confident behind your computer screen? Is there something interesting or unique about your life online? Are you able to lead hundreds of people in World of Warcraft but find yourself shy in real life? Did you meet your significant other online? Is your online avatar completely different from who you are in real life? If so, we would love to hear your story.

MTV True Life is a series that follows unique and varied subcultures. Interested folk can head on over to the Read link below to get more details on requirements and submission locations. This will be another one of World of Warcraft's television events after the CBS battle event on July 29.

Are World of Warcraft gamers also frustrated music video artists? Well, this contest could just prove that. Blizzard, together with Nvidia and Machinima.com, are announcing the latest WoW competition for you internet meme-ifying folk. All you have to do is use one of The Ataris' songs ("Not Capable of Love", "Connections are More Dangerous Than Lies", or "The Cheyenne Line") and come up with a music video for it using some WoW machinima.

The contest is open to anyone over 18 years of age, and entries may be submitted from 12 a.m. PDT on May 1 until 11:59 p.m. PDT on June 5. Ten finalists will be chosen, and those finalists who end up on the top three (based on votes) would receive graphic cards from Nvidia and an autographed copy of The Ataris' latest album.

While MTV music videos in teh r3al w0rldz have some booty shaking by the pools and frolicking down the shore, we're thinking you'd get lots of points if you have some of it too in your video, in the form of voluptuous Draenei or Succubi. It's either that, or your music video would involve a naked troll strutting its stuff throughout the animation.

For more contest details, mechanics, and/or to submit your own entry already, head on over to our Read link below!

David Moore's musings on player housing options for the denizens of Azeroth is nice and all, but it pales in comparison to this:

If you're a bit confused as to what this is, it's a Craig's List apartment listing that uses Blizzard's World of Warcraft to pimp their apartment.

High points of the apartment include an epic supply of beverages, condiments, and three Asians for roommates. The rent should set you back US$ 738, and that's not counting the utility fees, but as mentioned that might be moot since the ad's been taken down already. Thank god for internet mirrors and the preservation of this bit of gamer-culture gold.

We're especially curious about the "Mild Sexual Content" warning found at the lower left portion of the advert. MTV reality-TV shows come to mind.
