My name is Fraser Brown and I will ruin my life for a cool in-game cosmetic item. There, I've said it. I feel a bit better now. Well, not that much better, because I'm painfully sleep-deprived and my back hurts from spending too much time hunched over my desk. At least I can dress my World of Warcraft toons like fancy pirates now, I guess?
Back in March, Blizzard surprised World of Warcraft players with a limited-time mode. Plunderstorm is unlike anything Blizzard's done with WoW over the last two decades. It's a battle royale that you have to make a new character for, featuring mechanics specific to the mode. So instead of using your normal PvP loadout, you drop into a match with nothing, and gain new abilities by grabbing loot from chests, monsters and dead players.
