World of Warcraft mobile *ahem* oficial

Well, gank me silly and call me a gnome! Blizzard chiar are în plan niscaiva funcţionalităţi mobile pentru World of Warcraft. Ce-i drept, ideea unui MMO WoW propriu zis pe telefoane celulare sună la fel de ridicol ca şi înainte, însă asta nu e nici pe departe ce vor să facă. De fapt, nu prea par să aibă nici un obiectiv concret la ora asta, ci doar experimentează pe bâjbâite cu o echipă mică de developeri pe mobile, să vadă ce-o să iasă. Asta, conform co-fondatorului Blizzard, Frank Pearce, citat ieri într-un articol pe MTV:

"We want to look at the mobile devices as something we can use to enhance the experience of our existing games. So we're going to have to look at ways to use the mobile device to enhance their 'World of Warcraft' experience. We'll see what kind of applications we can come up with.

(...) So as an example, one thing I think would be really cool - and whether we're going to be able to do this, I don't know, but it would be really cool - is if we could have a client on your mobile device like [Google Chat] that hooks you into your guild chat in the game. That would be really cool. Or the ability to view your in-game mail or view your in-game auctions. We probably wouldn't allow you to actually buy or sell via the mobile device, but you could certainly monitor."

Dacă nu sunt deloc şanse să cumpărăm / vindem la Auction House, atunci pe bune, ce sens mai are?
