A venture capitalist is predicting that a cut-down version of World of Warcraft will be released for mobile in 2008.

Quote:

"You will be able to play a small version of WoW on your cell to win a small number of experience points", Baris Karadogan, a venture capitalist with ComVentures, reckons in an article featuring his technology predictions for the year.

"The game will be different but it will be the extension of the overall experience. So when you have three hours free, you'll play the real thing, when you have 30 minutes free you'll play a small casual game on your PC that counts towards your experience in the big game and when you have 5 minutes free you'll play the mobile handset version."

GREAT! Now we'll have people walking around the sidewalk and school hallways totally zombified by WoW on there cell phone. Its a good idea to buy into the mobile market on there part IMO, even if its just a small game. The WoW hungry people will defiantly buy the game if they can through there cell phone.

I don't relaly see this happening. There's no evidence of such a project, and Blizzard typically likes to make things bigger, not smaller.
An interesting idea (no doubt) with potential for the minute market of players who have a 'need' for WoW on the go, but it sounds like unfounded speculation to me.

We'll have to wait and see...
