Where can I find some good sources for data regarding World of Warcraft?

Asked by elliottcable (141points) October 30th, 2007

This is for an english class paper on WoW, so literary/educational/professional/psychological sources are much more useful than, say, http://wowwiki.com/ – thanks for any help (-:

I believe there was an article in the Wall Street Journal regarding the economics of World of Warcraft. Specifically, the “black market” economy of folks paying real money for virtual stuff, and of employees of Chinese factories picking wheat (as peasants) on their breaks as a way for the factory/business to generate some side income. May have appeared within the past two years.
