Irvine, California - 1st April, 2006 - Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.'s World of Warcraft®, the world's leading subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game, has aqquired the Sands of War® team for developing the next World of Warcraft extension called "World of Sand".

"We expect to boost the amount of World of Warcraft players massively utilizing the long experience the SoW team has in attracting a large amount of active players," said Zacker, president and cofounder of Sands of War. "The new extension will be set in the SoW universe which should fit well into the WoW lore".

This is the best joke I have seen so far. Because this is the most obvious. And it's funny as hell.

Exactly Mjr. Pain. Of course I realize the "Photoshopper" knows he did a crappy job. But is this really funny? If I'm more funny then the ******* joke how funny would I be on a scale from 1 to 100? -100? Shut the hell up...

I'm glad that some of you thought it was funny.

To those of you who continue to judge us as a CS knock off: First the CS weapons are simply place holders while we create out own models, which we have many of in the works. Second, We are not including any gameplay modes found in CS. Third, unless you have some skills with 3d modelling and want to help us speed up the process of getting our own models then keep your useless opinions to yourself.

Yeah. Bloody hell, at least this joke isn't going to make their whole playerbase run to their (or even worse, our) forums and make useless threads about the so called Blizzard takeover. God, give them a break. I bet most of you haven't even played SoW, and are in no position to judge it. Anyway, great joke, great execution. A nice parody of WoW (which is painstakingly close to CS) and CS and at least they can take the **** out of themselves!
