The problem is if any part of the service is inside the US it will be illegal to provide it.
And in case of WoW it is tied to the registration on battle.net for which you need them to register using fake credentials, all of which is problematic and blizzard is obligated to fight any such service should they get wind of it. Independently a good anonymous VPS service paid with bitcoin is certainly a good idea, if it can be used to circumvent such restrictions or not.
For example: There were several usenet services in the past who were advertised as means to download warez scene releases without effort. Which were shut down... Still usenet services who provide long-rendition access to binary news groups are a well going business.

Let's show them that Western values are bad by banning them. Who issued that fatwa anyway?

Because of US economic sanctions, iranian players cannot connect to WoW anymore, and Blizzard has announced that they will not be refunded:

Could this be an opportunity for Bitcoin?
Someone could easily setup a VPN for these players, and/or let them exchange WoW gold for BTC
