You Can Now Live in a 'World of Warcraft' Somewhere in Canada

You might one day find yourself driving along Ravenswood before reaching Silvermoon while visiting Canada. Or better yet, you might one day end up buying a house at Stormwind. If these names sound familiar then you are a true World of Warcraft fan.

The developer of this Canadian subdivision, or someone working for the developer, must be a "World of Warcraft" fan. According to Venture Beat, a subdivision in Ontario, Canada has been given "World of Warcraft" city names for its streets. Thanks to the creative real estate efforts of the subdivision's developer, living in "Azeroth" is now a possibility for some lucky "WoW" players. Five street names are unlikely to be a coincidence.

If this is hard for you to believe, you can check Google Maps and you will find streets named after Raven's Wood, Silvermoon, Stormwind, Winterspring or Ashenvale. According to Destructoid, these are names of cities that are found in the map of Azeroth in the game "World of Warcraft." The publication adds that, in the online game, druid types and Alliance Members are normally found in these location. But don't worry because the in real-world houses in these Canadian streets are absolutely normal, like the one ones around 242 Silvermoon Crescent.

Meanwhile, the company that brought us the online game "World of Warcraft," Activision Blizzard, reportedly has bought a substantial amount of shares of an eSports organization known as MLG for $46 million. Earlier, it was also reported to have acquired "Candy Crush" maker King Digital Entertainment for $5.9 billion.
