Every week, just at the start of the weekend, we catch up with the WoW.com staff and ask them, "What are you playing this week?" (Otherwise known as: WRUP (http://www.wow.com/tag/wrup/)!) Join us to see what we're up to in and out of game -- and catch us in the comments to let us know what you're playing, too
[The following may or may not be a dramatization of actual events.]
On a sunny autumn day, in an exceptionally metropolitan (yet fictitious) city, on the 38th floor of an exceptionally corporate-looking (yet fictitious) building, the ever fashionable Alex Ziebart (http://www.wow.com/bloggers/alex-ziebart/) pushed open the carved, mahogany doors of his office and sauntered out into the slightly less attractive general office of the WoW.com non-senior staff. Alex smiled as several eager (yet fictitious) interns immediately stopped in their tracks and focused their eyes on him with full admiration.
The WoW.com staff, who had previously been working at various levels of productivity, now sat up attentively and looked to Alex, who had stopped his stride in the center of their desks. "My friends" he said, his voice deep like the honey-rich call of a bassoon. Mat McCurley (http://www.wow.com/bloggers/mathew-mccurley/) swore he saw Anne Stickney (http://www.wow.com/bloggers/anne-stickney/) shiver at the words of their senior editor.
"In addition to your usual W.R.U.P. assignment, I have a task for you all." Alex punctuated his words by tossing back the lengths of red gabardine that cloaked his Spartan form. "Bring me the oldest WoW screenshot you still have saved."
And so it was done.
