Digital dongle prevents character theft, makes you look cool.
With stolen characters and Epic kit changing hands for hundreds - if not thousands - of dollars and users reporting the theft of an online presence, which can represent many many hours slaving over a hot keyboard, Blizzard Entertainment, the company responsible for the game which ate a million lives, has announced a new, frankly worrying, level of security for the residents of Azeroth.
For six and-a-half of your actual American greenbacks, you can now get the kind of security usually reserved for government employees and Microsoft engineers.
What you get for your cash is a key-ring sized lozenge with a single button and a six-character LCD display that provides a unique passcode each time you log on to Blizzard's WoW servers.
That'll keep them pesky key-logging orcs at bay.
