FullAuto Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Genuine 100% real threat. A man called Dr. Dwight Toavs, who is a professor at the US National Defence University, gave a presentation on how a virtual world might be used to help plan a terror attack by aligning in-game features with real-world places.

Bomb Bloke Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I don't play WoW, but I get the impression users can't create their own maps...? Sounds more like "Second Life" territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Meh, the whole article is more like a joke than anything else. Dr. Toavs then reveals the real reason for the scaremongering - he thinks US agents will have to spend more time immersing themselves in virtual worlds to identify potential threats in the future. He wants to be allowed to play WoW during work time, basically. Besides, Flight simulator is a better terrorist trainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
