Then people will wonder if you are using 'Wow' as an exclamation of amazement,
which is the normal usage of those three letters, or if you mean the game.
Whereas if you type it 'WoW', everyone knows you're referring to the game.
'WoW' is simply the acronym of 'World of Warcraft'. Notice how when the title of
the game is properly spelled out in long form, the first letter of 'World' 
starts with
a capital 'W', the first letter of 'of' starts with a lower-case 'o', and the 
first letter of
'Warcraft' starts with a capital 'W'. Hence, the acronym of 'WoW'. Not exactly 
rocket
science, my dear fellow. WoW is the correct usage in this situation, and Wow is 
not.
It has nothing to do with TyPInG tHiS WAy, it's simply about typing it the right 
way.
Of course, you can still choose to be weird and contrary, it's a free world.
