World of Warcraft as a ludic cyborg
This paper describes World of Warcraft as a ludic cyborg -- an entity that exists for play and depends on both artificial and organic components to survive. We argue that the popularity of the game arose due to the balance between the types of socialization it promotes and in-game literacies acquired by players on PvP servers.
