'World of Warcraft' Restaurant Opens in China


Balancing reality and virtual worlds can be a problem for some gamers, but one Beijing restaurateur is hoping it leads to a booming business with his 'World of Warcraft'-themed eatery. Geeks need to eat too, right?

The entrance to the restaurant is a recreation of the Dark Portal, the intro animation from 'WoW: The Burning Crusade.' Once you get inside, the walls are lined with pictures and TVs showing scenes and footage from the game, and the dishes get their name from WoW's characters. To top it all off, the main dining area, "The Hall of Snow Storms," features a large tree at its center and warriors clad in replica armor, which we assume is to protect diners against food poisoning and slow service.

The owner of the establishment says he opened it as a comfortable meeting place for other people who love the game like he does. We're sure the restaurant will be popular, especially in China where games like this have massive audiences, provided the game's creators, Blizzard Entertainment, let it stay open. Maybe the next step will be to open a 'Second Life' diner that looks and functions exactly like a normal diner accept everyone becomes a hundred times cooler, sexier, and more confident once they get inside.
