Once they reach the maximum level in “World of Warcraft,” Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman decide to engage the griefer in combat, and a marathon of combat lasting over 17 hours commences. Randy Marsh (Trey Parker), Stan’s father, decides to aid his son, and is given a magic, game-breaking sword by Blizzard employees on a USB drive. This weapon, named “The Sword of a Thousand Truths,” will be able to curtail the griefer’s power, and allow the “South Park” boys to win. However, once Randy’s in-game avatar reaches epic battle, he is slain by the griefer, but not before he gives the sword to Stan, who uses it to remove the griefer’s defenses. This action allows the “South Park” boys to win, and finally get a chance to play the game as they put it.
Speaking to Australia’s SBS, Parker himself wasn’t so sure as to the quality of “Make Love, Not Warcraft,” and begged for it not to be aired. Parker figured that this episode would ruin the legacy of “South Park,” and he added that Matt Stone and others had to essentially talk him down, and just air the episode regardless of Parker’s complaints. He added, “I just went home and was depressed and couldn’t sleep, and I got in the next day and they’re like, dude, people really like that show. And it was the show about World of Warcraft.” Oddly enough, “Make Love, Not Warcraft” eventually went on to win a Primetime Emmy, as noted by IMDb, which proves that Parker’s fears were entirely unfounded.
