With World of Warcraft latest expansion pack released on the 13th November, entitled the Wrath of the Lich King, I thought it would be interesting to look at World of Warcraft Gold (WoWG) as a currency against exisiting nations currencies and see how it’s doing.

Given that exchange rate, it makes World of Warcraft Gold more valuable that these nation currencies!
