MMOrgy: WoW Ungaying Part ??: Electric [Censored]

Because a day without a WoW GLBT update is like a day without sunshine full of HATE...
First off, since I haven't actually posted this yet, and I can't believe I haven't, here's the webpage for the gulid that's been in question. They've got a ridiculous amount of news and comic links about the thing, just in case you need a break from all of the boring, text only news the rest of us have been posting about it.
Anyways, according to the page, Blizzard has apologized to the guild, sending them a nice letter saying they have retracted the warning and suspension. I could've sworn I saw the letter body somewhere on the net, but I certainly can't seem to find it again. The apology did not mention a change to the policy wording, however, so we're not out of the issue quite yet.
PlayNoEvil has weighed in the topic by discussing how games are defined, presenting the idea of a "Reality Test" to tell whether or not we should compare in world actions to real world equivilents.
On the sillier side of things, Kotaku decided to do an analysis of the WoW Item Inventory to see what kind of naughty names they could come up with. There's "A Bulging Coin Purse", "Advisor’s Gnarled Staff" (Ew), "Kezan’s Unstoppable Taint" (EW), and many, many more. How these guys can pull 20+ posts a day and have time for this, I'll never know. Please, share your meth with the rest of us.
