I've think wow or seven WoW would be ok so long as a) it's not a computer game and b) it's not clearly intended to trade off of World of Warcraft.

If the site looks a lot like world of warcraft or is a game, that would be a problem unless it's truly a parody or similar. Even in the case if parody, you can hope to win in court, but that implies you'll be in court. One lawyer said of trademark parody:

Engaging in trademark parody is a little like shooting at the king. Y had better be good at it, because if you attempt and fail, you are in big trouble. Parody is a defense to trademark infringement.1 The defense is tha there is no likelihood of confusion because the parody will not be taken seriously. While it must initially bring to mind the original, it must be clever enough to be clear that it is not the original nor connected with the original
