A new form of e-currency is almost upon us with the announcement from Blizzard that they are offering World of Warcraft themed Visa cards that turn your real world spending into WOW virtual world game time. The card will take 1% of what you charge and turn it into minutes that you can use to visit Azeroth. So, if you want to rack up a lot of time, hand this to your mom/wife/sister when she makes her next mall run.
This comes on the heels of The Sims credit card, which will likely be something similar. MAKE magazine predicted something of this ilk a year ago, and it looks like they were on the money. Now if they can turn our real world purchases into WOW money you can get that uber cool sword that costs a bajillion WOW dollars. Have fun storming the castle!
