The massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft is set to host its inaugural official Pride event. This significant occasion draws inspiration from a long-standing tradition within the player community: an annual charity run. For over twelve years, players have organized this event, often referred to as the ‘troll run,’ successfully raising funds for various charitable causes. The accompanying image depicts a scene from one of these community-driven ‘troll runs’ in World of Warcraft, highlighting the enduring history of player engagement and generosity.
