A leaked memo has revealed Pottermore to be a persistent world that blends World of Warcraft with real world treasure hunts. Users will dig up clues, which will let them find prizes in the real world.
The memo says Thursday's announcement, which will come via YouTube, will discuss the project's partners and focus on what people can find - particularly quills and wands hidden around the U.S. and U.K.
The idea of real world treasure hunts based on the game does sound interesting. But I just got the picture of 1000s of people showing up at some rural country area tearing up the grass trying to find the "Trolls Tooth Totem" or other such nonsense. However if the game doesn't have a monthly subscription fee I might try it out just for fun.
