Dell to auction off custom World of Warcraft XPS M1710 laptops

by Barb Dybwad, posted Jan 10th 2007 at 1:20PM

Dell's in your laptop, airbrushing your WoW art -- in honor of the upcoming World of Warcraft Burning Crusade expansion release on January 16, they again commissioned artist Mike Lavalee to airbrush two limited edition XPS M1710 laptops with BC-inspired art; the lappies will be auctioned off to benefit World Harvest, an international humanitarian relief organization. For the ~~non-addicted~~ uninitiated, the artwork depicts the two new Blood Elf and Drainei races to be released in the expansion in the process of totally pwning each other. It'll be interesting to see how much these actually fetch on auction, as ironically the people who'd want them most may be ~~unemployed and living in Mom's basement~~ financially challenged.

"who'd want them most may be unemployed and living in Mom's basement financially challenged."

i resent this comment. i work at burger king and make my own living. and my mom doesn't have a basement, so i live in the trailer outside. not everyone who are addicted to WoW is a loser like you people think!

I hope they more talking about the younger generation of WoW players. I am sure much of the staff of engadget plays WoW, as do over 7 million people. I somehow doubt that even half that is unemployed and living in their parents basement.

Though there are far to many addicts at that game, makes everquest look like pot.
Oh and I hold down a excellent Job, live 5000km from my parents (though it is a basement apt :D).

WoW players are not financially challenged, and I resent the implication that we are. The game caters to those with the obsessive-compulsive need to optimize everything, a personality trait that our modern economy rewards generously. Living in mom's basement is simply more efficient.

highest level so you can REALLY have some fun.

In Maple Story, players will be able to create characters that will grow as they learn new skills and become stronger. There are four characters to choose from: Warriors, Bowmen, Magician, or Thief. These characters can be dressed in many different and colorful outfits. Personalizing characters is one of the goals of Maple Story. Once a character has been created, they will learn skills that will help them when they reach Victoria Island.

In The Lord of the Rings OnlineTM: Shadows of AngmarTM (LOTRO), players can customize certain elements of the game's user interface (UI), also known as "skinning." While we don't allow you to do a full-scale UI replacement, we do give you the ability to replace selected visual elements of the UI. (A full list of these elements and their sizes is provided at the end of this overview.)

This is an updated (and prettied up) version of the information that had originally been posted in their Beta forums which we had copied to our Developer Discussions - Tutorials & Other Helpful Information forum. It is a combination of the Skinning the LOTRO UI and Art Assets posts.
