There’s been a couple rumors spreading around about world of warcraft for the iPhone. Regardless of the legitimacy of these rumors, there’s a lot of potential in this. So far, people haven’t done a great job in porting PC games to the iPhone, mostly because of the iPhone’s low processing power, ram, and limited control options. Personally, I’m not sure that this will work out. There are 2 options for the game, they could either attempt to make a fully functional version for the iPhone that works on the current WoW network, or they could make a more limited, watered down version for the iPhone, with it’s own network. There are problems with both of these. First, the problems with it running on the current WoW network: the game would use so much data that apple would force it to only function on a Wi-Fi network, thus it would not work on the road, and you might as well just pull out your laptop and play it on there. Also, it would put allot of strain on the ram and processor. If they were to make it on it’s own WoW network, a smaller, watered down one, they would have the issue of not having many members to start with, and many existing WoW users would just stick to the desktop version, and there would be few people to interact with on the smaller iPhone network.
