I mention that I play wow on my resume, but I never actually say world of warcraft.

I say something along the lines that I'm a member of a club (guild), we do weekly events together (raids) and that I co-lead the events (MT and one of 2 raid leaders).
I dont use that exact wording, but I follow up with some of the responsibilities that could relate to my job such as showing up on time, being prepared ahead of time, communication, and resolving disputes.

I have only had one employer actually question what my hobby was about, and she only raised her eyebrow at it and laughed a lil.
It's never been an issue, and I have even been told that it helps employers see that I do other stuff outside of work other than drink, or get stoned, or just sit and watch TV.

Its all in how you present it.
