World of Warcraft helps boy survive moose attack
According to Nettavisen
(via Wired),
12-year-old Hans Jørgen Olsen and his sister encountered a troubled moose
while walking in the forest near their Norwegian home.
After diverting the beast's attention away from his younger sister, Hans played
possum, "just like you learn at level 30 in World of Warcraft," to
avoid being attacked.
"Feign death" is a skill acquired by level 30 hunters in Blizzard's
massively popular MMO which recently surpassed 9 billion paying subscribers
worldwide.
Hans, his sister, and the moose all reportedly walked away from the incident
without injury.
