It always depends.

I don't have only "one" resume, I always customize my jobs and skills in the resume depending in what job position I'm applying. Lets say I was a TA in college and I'm applying for a programming position, I would exalt that I was a programming TA , working with various languages and my dominance in algorithms, group working and problem solving are excellent. OTOH if i was applying for a manager position I would exalt my leadership roles when i was a TA.

The same thing with WoW. A hobby that makes you work in teams or take a leadership role, in a constant manner, 2-4 times a week, says a lot about the person. It shows responsibility, group solving skills, team work,sociability and constancy. All of those skills look great in a resume, and the fact that you are doing it in your spare time makes you look like well rounded individual.

Of course, if the company you are applying has no idea what WoW is and it might bring awkward questions, maybe is better to leave it out. But if it is at all relevant, go for it.
