The blogosphere is buzzing with the rumor that the hugely popular MMO, World of Warcraft, could soon be available on the iPhone.

Gamers across the globe are holding their breath, waiting to see if online rumors that World of Warcraft is coming to the iPhone are true. Vollee, a company whose main purpose is to develop software to allow mobile 3G phones to play CPU intensive PC applications over the iPhone network, may have struck an agreement with Activision Blizzard to stream the MMO.

This isn’t the first time the possibility of World of Warcraft for the iPhone has been visited. In June last year, Vollee indicated they were in talks with Activision Blizzard.

While no official announcement has been made (and Vollee’s website is down at the time of writing), a video has emerged that appears to show the game fully functioning on an iPhone. Much of the online debate is about whether this video is real, or an elaborate hoax, with most concluding that it is genuine.

Vollee was responsible for bringing virtual world “Second Life” to the iPhone earlier this year. ‘What we have developed is a service which, for the first time, allows you to access a rich persistent virtual 3D world the way it is supposed to be experienced on your phone,’ said Martin Dunsby, CEO, Vollee. ‘This is a true ‘before and after moment’ in which mobile is living up to its potential in serving as an always on, connected platform.’
