In this day and age -- where print’s allegedly on the verge of casting off its mortal coil -- the announcement of a new magazine is a bit of an oddity. But then, we’re talking about World of Warcraft here, the brand that once had us a friend eying a bottle of Mtn Dew with something akin to legitimate interest. It’s with that rationale, then, that Future Publishing’s launching a World of Warcraft magazine.
The quarterly publication will “cover all aspects” of WoW, and will be stitched together by an all-star editorial team comprised of people like former Official Xbox Magazine Senior Editor Dan Amrich and industry vet Julian Rignall.
Interested yet? If so, a subscription will run you $39.95 per year, or you can strap in for the long haul and drop $69.95 on two years. But hey, the magazine’s nice and glossy, and ad-free to boot! Gotta pay a little extra for class.
And remember, don’t be too rough on the new publication. It was born and bred under Future’s roof, so that makes it MPC’s big, green, chainmail-clad sister or something. Go easy on the gal, or we might have to rough you up a bit.

Have Future put all the adsin the WoW magazine and leave them OUT of MaximumPC
Take an OS, and edit out all the efficiency, and what you have left is a post-XP Microsoft operating system :)

Eve-Online has published its own monthly magazine, EON, for a couple of years now, and has its own weekly online TV show. I'm frankly amazed that Blizzard, with the player base (and thus the potential readership) of WoW to draw from, has waited this long to start creating OOG media for it.
That Blizzard is starting a magazine about WoW isn't really news. What is news is that it took them this long to get around to it.
