World of Warcraft By: Mr. Smith
Introduction • World of Warcraft: • World famous MMORPG. • Released in 2004. • Has made over 9 billion for Blizzard. • Has about 4-5 million players. • Up-to date has seven expansions.

Fallacy: Appeal to Authority • Appeal to Authority = someone is right because they are in a position of authority or fame. • Ozzy Osbourne – “Prince of Darkness” • Mr. T - actor • William Shatner - actor • Verne Troyer - actor
How does it work? • Setting: • Actual gameplay. • Intense music. • Colorful images. • People: • Famous actors/musicians. • Characters look like them. • Humor: • Mr. T classic line. • Ozzybeing the “Prince of Darkness”. • Verne’s size.
Portrayal • These commercials portray World of Warcraft as fun, enjoyable environment that just about everyone plays. • The image that is trying to be conveyed is for those who do not play WoWor have played it in the past. • This representation of the WoW community is only partially correct and for the most part, deceiving to the audience. • I do not agree with how the commercials portray WoW, but do enjoy the game.
