Discrimination Surfaces in WOW

Non English speaking gamers are claiming racial discrimination in the hugely popular World of Warcraft video game. WOW is classified as a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game and is an online computer role-playing game in which a large number of players from around the world can interact together or against one another in the same game at the same time. At last count Blizzard the developers of WOW stated they had 5 million active monthly subscribers.The problem starts when players try to join groups. wow power leveling As part of the game play for WOW players are required to form groups of 5 or more to be able to finish certain levels of the game. Now if you have a number of friends who also play WOW you can make arrangements to meet up in the game to complete these required group tasks. For all others players they will need to build groups by using the games message system where they can send a request out to fellow players to form or join a group of players for a certain task.There is a common belief among English speaking players in WOW that most non English speaking players are gold farmers. This is a type of player who is only playing the game to profit, not for the “love of the game”. Gold Farmers are largely despised by players who feel they take away a certain purity of the game.To combat gold farmers, players are requesting anybody who wants to join a group to type one or two lines of English. If the sentences or grammar are not proper English these players are rejected from joining this group. This has recently been creating a lot of backlash among non-English speaking players with feel they are being discriminated against based on their language. wow power leveling Other players in WOW claim that the English test has nothing to do with discrimination, but more to do with being able to communicate effectively with your fellow team members. They say you would never build a real life arm with people who do not speak a common language.One player cites that over 1.5 million WOW players are from China alone, with the majority of these players being non-English. While their has been recent publicity about the gold farm factories in china, it by no means justifies thinking that every Chinese or non-English speaking player is a gold farmer.This WOW player states that he does not know how to stop this racial discrimination, but believes if people could just try to keep a more open mind and trust people a little more; this would go along way to bring some racial harmony to WOW and the World in general.

What NOT To Do If Your WoW Account Gets Banned

Some people, I swear! After hitting up my favorite World of Warcraft news sources today I have came upon a pretty interesting story. Now remember that I have absolutely no viable sources to back up this story so it may not be true but some part of me believes it is.Evidently, some kid used some different cheats to play World of Warcraft...that is including a stolen CD key. So, no surprise to anyone his account got banned.wow power leveling He then decided to try DUMB IDEA #1, which was bribe Blizzard to let him back into WoW. It was claimed he bribed them with $3,000 from Paypal. No clue where that money "may" have came from.Of course, Blizzard denied the bribe so our hero tries something a little bit different...DUMB IDEA #2: He then sent Blizzard an email stating that he would end his life if they didn't let him back in the game.If this story is true or not it is probably the best way to handle something like this.Blizzard of course, got serious with this kind of threat.wow power leveling First off, they sent him an email with phone numbers for various different crisis centers.A few hours later, police ended up at his doorstep. They identified the kid by the IP address he was using for his internet connection. On Blizzard's part this was the best way to handle this. I bet though the kid was just being dumb and would say anything to get his account re-activated.I bet he won't do that anymore. Who knows if this story is totally true or not and who really cares.I have known people that would be dumb enough to try this stuff so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it is real.

Outsourcing your 'Warcraft' skills

According to an estimate from a company called Power-levels.com, it would take someone starting from scratch 768 hours to reach the highest level you can hit in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.
Or, for someone who had already topped out at level 60 in the original WoW, it would take 384 hours to get to the top level, 70, of Burning Crusade.
That's a lot of hours, and if you're one of the many people with limited time who still wants to play online games like WoW at the highest levels, Power-levels.com and a growing number of competitors may have just the solution. wow power leveling That is, if you're OK with breaking the rules, as well as what some say is the spirit of the games.
These game consultants sell what are known as power-leveling services. Essentially, that means that for a fee, they will take over your account in any one of a large number of online games and put in the work required to get you where you want to be.
That level 70 Burning Crusade power-up costs $556. The jump from level 60 to 70: $239.
For some time, high-level wannabes have been able to go to places like eBay to purchase entire accounts from retiring players. In doing so, they acquire special weapons, armor, tools or spells with the aim of getting to a place in a game beyond what they could do without help.wow power leveling
But in the wake of eBay's decision to delist all auctions for the assets of online games, some may be wondering where else they can turn. The power-leveling companies think they have the answer.
"They give us their character name, their password and they tell us which level they want us to reach for them," said Flora Chen, manager of Guy4Game, a power-leveling company based in Canada that also has operations in China, Korea, Japan and Mexico. "Some just want to reach levels as fast as possible, so they say to (play for them) 24 hours a day."
Outfits like Guy4Game, Power-levels.com, Power-level.net and GmLvl.com say they're pulling in serious business. wow power leveling For example, GmLvl.com says on its Web site that it employs more than 2,000 people solely for the purpose of helping clients get where they want to be. By comparison, Guy4Game's has a staff of 150 full-time workers.
Chen said Guy4Game has a client list of more than 100,000 customers, though there is no way to verify that number.
There's no telling how many power-leveling companies exist: online searches using various terms easily produce dozens. But that such an industry exists--for dozens of online games--is noteworthy, particularly because publishers of online games like World of Warcraft, EverQuest and City of Heroes don't allow their players to engage in such behavior.
Against terms of service"Sony Online is aware that it happens, and we do not condone it," said Courtney Simmons, head of public relations for EverQuest II publisher Sony Online Entertainment. "It is against our terms of service...You (cannot) give anyone else access to (your) account."
Blizzard Entertainment, publisher of WoW, takes the same position as Sony Online.
"Making use of a power-leveling service," Blizzard said in an e-mail statement Monday, "is a violation of our account-sharing policy. wow power leveling This policy is discussed in World of Warcraft's terms of use, which players agree to prior to playing."
Blizzard added that because customers paying power-leveling services give over full access to their accounts, there is no way to prove that the services perpetrated any fraud (if a customer has such a complaint) while those accounts were in use.
Fraud or no fraud, if a customer wants to jump to level 70 of Burning Crusade and have a flying mount and a high riding score, but doesn't have the time to achieve such a goal, he can have someone else do it for him.
Chen said Guy4Game's clients ask for all kinds of things. Some want to rise to their desired level as fast as possible. Others want steady progress, but still want to be able to play when they want. So they ask to have access to their own accounts for certain hours of the day. The rest of the time, Guy4Game is in charge.
Similarly, some players demand to deal with power-leveling service representatives who speak English, or Japanese, or Korean. wow power leveling That's why Guy4Game has employees in those countries, Chen said.
In the eyes of regular players, however, those who utilize power-leveling services aren't sticking to the spirit of the games.
"Using a service to level a character is pretty universally regarded as a 'lamer' move," said Eric Haller, a San Francisco investor and long-time WoW player. "You will definitely not earn anyone's respect if they know you have paid for your levels."
In fact, Haller said he thinks the general perception of people who use power-leveling services, as well as those who buy well-stocked characters or advanced weaponry off of eBay or other secondary markets is that they are unfairly cutting corners.
"I think it is perceived as a form of cheating," Haller said. "Not necessarily in the sense of breaking the rules, but more in the sense of being a somewhat weak player who is unable to use (their) skills to acquire things. (It's) sort of like it is confusing to me why someone would pay $50 for a game and then $20 for a guide to walk them through it.wow power leveling Isn't the fun in the play?"
To Simmons, the problem behind power leveling has to do more with logistics than with fun. That, she said, is because Sony Online Entertainment gets customer service complaints all the time from players who have had their accounts stolen or compromised after using power-leveling services. Sony won't ban players who get caught using contractors, but they're on their own with customer service problems.

Finally, the Warcraft wait is over

By MATT SLAGLEAssociated Press DALLAS -- Each day, millions of people around the world gaze at their computer screens to explore a dangerous fantasy world of treasure-filled dungeons and flame-breathing dragons, a land where mortal enemies lurk around every corner. wow power leveling It's the World of Warcraft, the most successful online game ever, and it's a world about to get a whole lot bigger with today's release of a $39.99 enhancement called The Burning Crusade.
From China to the United States, from Australia to Europe, more than 8 million registered users now pay up to $15 a month to gather with hundreds of other real people who masquerade as digital avatars in the never-ending fantasy world of Azeroth.
The Burning Crusade adds new locales such as Karazhan, Hellfire Citadel and Tempest Keep to Azeroth, and presents a spiraling war against demonic forces where the game's two opposing factions — the Alliance and the Horde — will face powerful new enemies.wow power leveling
Trey Hancock, 26, has been shooting fireballs and frost novas to crush his mortal enemies in the video game World of Warcraft since it first launched in 2004. In his years of playing, the Houston resident led a guild of more than 200 people and raised four characters to the current top level of 60 — including his main character, a mage named Oraj.
Like many others, Hancock said he took a break in anticipation of the expansion, where his first goal will be to take Oraj to level 70.
"I haven't played for the last week because I know once it comes out, I'm going to be playing it nonstop," he said.wow power leveling
It's just the sort of enthusiasm the company behind the game, Blizzard Entertainment Inc., is banking on.
"We were going to be happy if we got a million worldwide subscribers; we didn't feel like that was shooting the moon," said Rob Pardo, Blizzard's vice president of game design and the lead designer for World of Warcraft. "The way it blew up is far beyond our wildest expectations. But now that we are at the mark we are, we feel there's still an ability to grow that customer base even further."
Released in November 2004, World of Warcraft brought several new elements to the genre of massive multiplayer online role-playing games, or MMORPGs. wow power leveling Most significant, it was simple to play and a had high level of polish, according to Jon Wood, managing editor of the gaming Web site MMORPG.com.
"I think Blizzard looked at what was out there and found out what worked and what didn't work," he said. "The truth of the matter is, the game is very polished. The fact that it's very smooth and easy to learn has put them out front."
Pardo said polish has always been the mantra for the game's creators.
"It's extremely complicated, all the things we have to get right," he said. "We were on track for a Christmas release, but we really felt like we should make sure the product's right for our customers."
Warcraft's popularity has transcended video game culture and spawned a series of action figures, comic books, novels and trading cards.wow power leveling
The game was even the focus of a recent South Park episode where Eric Cartman and friends balloon into overweight, pimply video addicts bent on defeating a rampaging player who threatens the very existence of the game.
The pop culture references extend into the game world, too. If you type "/dance" as a male Blood Elf, for example, your character will strut around with moves similar to the überdorky hero of Napoleon Dynamite.
"We're all entertainment geeks ourselves," Pardo said. "Part of our design process is having fun and putting in those references. It's kind of our way of giving homage to the things that inspire us."
David Daryani, owner of Tru-Gamerz video gaming center in Dallas, said his customers regularly queue up to play the game, especially on the weekends. As a longtime WoW player himself, Daryani, 38, said he hasn't played much lately but was looking forward to seeing the new content and returning to his favorite activity: player versus player combat.wow power leveling
"If you have a bad day, you get on and say 'I'm just going to kick some Alliance butt,' " he said. "It just relieves some stress."

Awesome bug: Hunter with Fel Beasts and Warlocks with Frostsabers

While we're pretty sure that a lot of people have encountered this bug in Blizzard's World of Warcraft PTR, it's still pretty cool. wow power leveling Most know about the feature where pets will automatically disappear when you ride a flying mount and reappear when you land. The bug has been known to occur during when dismounting.Hunters sometimes end up with Fel Beasts and Warlocks with FrostSabers. wow power leveling Now, it wouldn't have been so funny if the darn pets were not usable. Yup, so now your hunter can send his newly acquired Fel Beast to take down evil little mages. Of course, this bug has already been reportedly fixed but the damage has been done. Reports of mages being mauled by Bestial Wrath buffed Fel Beasts have been coming in. wow power leveling (Our resident Hunter and Warlock dance gleefully.)Surprisingly, this bug has not spawned many complaints from players and has been happily taken by the community in stride. If only all the bugs in the game were as fun as this. Maybe Blizzard could start an event which has players trading pets for a weekend considering the comments of the players. wow power leveling Well, we can always hope.

Less than two years after its introduction, World of Warcraft, made by Blizzard Entertainment, is on pace to generate more than $1 billion in revenue this year with almost 7 million paying subscribers and has become the first truly global video game hit since Pac-Man in the early 1980s, The New York Times reported.wow power leveling That makes the massively multiplayer online role-playing game one of the most lucrative entertainment media properties of any kind, the newspaper reported.

Don't you hate it when you get banned?

No. The bot we are showing did not get banned. But one of my other bots did. He had over 800 hours played time on him.wow power leveling lol I made a new glide and was running him on it. In retrospect the glide was flawed. The path I had him running on made him look like a bot if anyone watched him for more than 5 minutes. So it was my mistake. It just goes to show that you should not make your bot do things that make him look like a bot.So this is why I was offline for a few days.wow power leveling I wanted to make a few changes to my stuff here before going online again to make sure that it was only the one that got banned and if blizzard was looking for the others that they would not find them. :)The stats are looking really good. It's because I did not report Friday. then the Friday night glide worked really well and he went for about 10 hours on his own without any problems. wow power leveling I also got some really good loot. :) That made for good profit on the auction house.

WOW:Crusade Breaks Records

Blizzard Entertainment announced that World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, the first expansion of its massively multiplayer online role-playing game, has broken first-day sales records to become the fastest-selling PC game ever in North America and Europe. wow power leveling The title has sold a total of nearly 2.4 million copies worldwide in its first 24 hours of availability, the company said.

Glider classes

We held a class for our staff yesterday on Glider. It ended up being pretty cool. Within an hour I had some of them making their first glides. They had been just using the glides I have created. But after getting one of our bots banned I decided that we should go over some best practices One of the things that is the reason we get that one bot banned is that he spent a lot of time in the location he was in. wow power leveling So I decided that one thing we should change is the fact that we should only spend a certain duration in one area. Then move on to the next area. I think that there is nothing worse than seeing the same guy day in and day out at the same location. That in it's self I think is a good indication that someone is a bot.So now we are working on at least 10 unique locations for each level we are gliding. For level 60 I'm working on 50 to 100 unique locations.. That may sound like a lot but if you are using them to form gold then we need to track the ones that pay the best. wow power leveling So we are going to have to try a lot of different things. The obvious answer may be that we go to the places where others report they can make a lot of coin. But part of the issue is that you don't want to be gliding in an area where there are a bunch of other people working it hard trying to make coin as well.So when I hit 60 I two goals with this guy. The first is that I want to try fishing and see how long it will take to go 0 to 300. Then also to see if there is any profit in it compared to running a glide killing stuff. I'll also try a new glide every day. wow power leveling We'll figure out a way to see how much income we can generate that day from the area. I'll include in my reports what's working well and what is not.Also. On another note. You may have noticed we did not run the map for a few weeks. We came out with a new version of KAM. It seemed it was working well for all of my systems but the one I'm using to broadcast. I'm running dual monitors on this system. You only see one of the broadcast. The other one is used for my broadcast tool. I was getting these weird errors saying I was out of video memory. I have a 128mb video card so I thought that was strange. But in fact it turned out to be true. I had to reduce the size of the WoW window to get it to launch the map. wow power leveling Once I did that it fired right up. Then I was able to resize back to normal. I think it was stupid that it was something that simple.

'Warcraft': A world in transition Ⅱ

"(Raiding) guilds' main activities were organizing and holding raids and high-level runs for loot," Glerum said. "They are all completely on hiatus until everyone gets their (characters) up to 70. wow power leveling In fact, many of the super high-end raiding guilds stopped playing and even broke up a couple months ago in preparation for BC."
For its part, Blizzard said it hasn't abandoned the original game, though it does acknowledge wanting to give it a swift kick in the pants.
"I don't feel we deliberately killed the (original) game," said Jeff Kaplan, lead designer of WoW. "What we were attempting to do was give people a new ceiling on the game. wow power leveling In a level-capped game (where people can't rise above a certain level), when the level is raised, what people came to know would grow. We would have ended up losing a lot of people for lack of anything new."
Kaplan added that by extending WoW, raising the level cap and adding new races and content, Blizzard was trying to ensure the continued existence of the WoW franchise.
"We have no intention of letting it stagnate," Kaplan said. "What I think we attempted to do with BC is extend the life of World of Warcraft a little longer and give people more of the WoW that they had come to love."
For the Rev. A.K.M. Adam, a real-life Evanston, Ill., priest who also plays the role of a priest in BC, the expansion has been an enjoyable experience, albeit one that leaves him a little wistful for the original version. wow power leveling
Adam said he likes the scene design in BC, as well as some of the content that's been added. But he noted that one change, which limits raiding parties to 25 players instead of the old limit of 40, has been disappointing, even if it is understandable.
"I miss the large 40-(person) raids," Adam said.
At the same time, he sees how smaller raiding parties mean individual players play a more important role than in the larger ones found in the original version.
"By making the smaller-group instances as valuable as the large raids, they allow players to enjoy the game to the fullest in ways that differ along with their preferred style," Adam said. wow power leveling Kaplan agreed, saying Blizzard felt that the 40-player raiding groups left some feeling marginalized.
"Certain players started to feel a little bit alienated by the larger raid size," Kaplan said. "With the smaller raid size, your individual contribution counts a little bit more...We felt that 25 was enough to capture the epic feel of raiding."
For Kelly Wallace, an Atlanta attorney who had been playing with four level-60 characters in the original game, BC is an entirely new experience.
"In my opinion, it's really made WoW a very different game for those folks who had been playing at level 60," Wallace said. "It is as if a big reset button was pressed."
Wallace said he has had little trouble transitioning to BC, but notes, like Glerum, that the expansion has basically rendered the original game moot.
"This is now the game of Warcraft," Wallace said. "wow power leveling There is absolutely zero reason for players to ever go back to (the original game) because the rewards available in (BC) are better and, for the most part, easier to obtain."
But he noted that central locations from the original game, like Ironforge, an important city, are now nearly empty.
"Previously, players on my server with slower or older computers had a hard time navigating in Ironforge because of all the other players in that zone," Wallace said. "These days, Ironforge is a ghost town. Just about everyone is in Outland (a main region in the expansion), and I can't imagine that any of the old capitals will ever experience the bustle that they had pre-BC."
Kaplan said Blizzard has made a point of ensuring that there are still things to do in the original cities like Ironforge and that there is still plenty of traffic there.
"There's not the same density as there used to be," Kaplan said, wow power leveling "but I don't think it's hit the level of ghost town yet either."
To Glerum, one consequence of the expansion is that there are relatively few opportunities for level-60 players to continue to participate in player vs. player battles without upgrading.
That, she said, is because there are few battlefields left on which to fight non-upgraded players, a condition that's exacerbated because the WoW universe is in transition as most players are off fighting non-player characters in their attempt to "level up" to 70.
Still, that is more an observation than a complaint. In fact, Glerum said she's very impressed with BC.
"The art is gorgeous," Glerum said. The writing of the two new races of characters introduced in BC and the new quests "is beautiful," she said. wow power leveling "The new music is generally good (and) sometimes inspired. I am finding it just fun to play."

'Warcraft': A world in transition Ⅰ

  It might seem odd that World of Warcraft's publisher decided to tinker with the game's core experience in releasing the new expansion World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. wow power leveling
The massively multiplayer online role-playing game, after all, has reached more than 8 million players and is among the most popular online games of all time, especially in the United States. Why mess with that kind of success?
Yet tinker Blizzard Entertainment did, and the WoW community has responded with enthusiasm: the company sold more than 2.4 million copies of the $39.99 Burning Crusade expansion in the first 24 hours after its January 16 launch.wow power leveling Among other additions, the expansion includes a new continent, two new races and a new profession: jewel crafting.
But while players seem largely satisfied with BC, as it's known, some also worry that the millions of people still playing the original game, especially those at the highest levels, are left with a somewhat barren version of the adventure they're used to.
"Blizzard deliberately killed their (original) game," said Katrina Glerum, a veteran WoW player who, like thousands of others, stood in line for hours to be among the first to purchase the expansion. The original game "is dead," she said.wow power leveling "Most of the work Blizzard did for the past two years building interesting content to keep (players of the original game) amused is dead."
World of Warcraft launched in 2004. Players in the U.S. pay $15 a month to play, and that has brought hundreds of millions of dollars into Blizzard's coffers.
Glerum said she is, for the most part, enjoying her experiences with BC, but it's clear she and the millions of other players who have upgraded are in transition. That adjustment is fueled mainly by the fact that players of the original WoW topped out at level 60, wow power leveling while BC permits going up to level 70 (higher levels give players access to stronger weapons, tools and so on).
A higher maximum level means several things for players, Glerum said.
First, many guilds (groups of players) that previously spent much of their time on raids in search of loot or in battles with monsters or other enemies, have either disbanded altogether or been forced into a waiting period as players busily try to work their way up the level scale.

On wanting to stop wanting 'World of Warcraft'...

There's a command in World of Warcraft that tells you exactly how long you've played with your active character and how long you've been playing at your current level. All you have to do is type /played into your chat prompt to find this information out. If you're a regular player of the game, I think you should go and do that now. Don't worry. We'll wait. It's sort of important.
I've had World of Warcraft for almost exactly six months now, which - coincidentally - is pretty much exactly how long I've been working at Yahoo.wow power leveling I bought the game in my week between jobs, while I was supposed to be recovering from the BBC and thinking around my personal projects. Buying WoW pretty much killed off that idea straight away. I think on one day I played from around nine am until three the following morning. The week evaporated in moments.
So I typed in /played over the weekend and I got back the figure of fifteen days and four hours for my main character - another nine hours for my second. Fifteen days solidly. That's three hundred and seventy three hours of immersion in Nordrassil when I could have been doing something else, something more useful.
Let me give you some context there. Imagine playing WoW was my second job, which is how it has felt at times. Thinking in terms of eight hour days and five day work weeks, I've played the game for roughly two and a half months.wow power leveling And that's on top of the day job. It's no wonder that the weblog has slipped. More alarming still is that even though I've played it for that length of time, I'm still only level 51.
The question then, is how to stop. And not how to stop in the simple, "I've got a problem" kind of way. Let's be clear - my day job has not suffered, my relationships are just as screwed up as they normally are, but no worse. But I'm starting to resent playing as much as I'm keen to get up to level sixty. I regularly get this sense of time passing just a little too fast, and even though I know that the time I spend playing WoW is not time that would immediately translatable into rebuilding Barbelith or learning how to develop in Rails,wow power leveling I'm increasingly aware that I want to stop wanting to play, even if I am prepared to let that process of detachment be a gradual one associated with some sense of completion.
Let's pretend for a moment that the option to 'just stop' isn't interesting or practical. I have this idea for a way to bring in some kind of honest scrutiny from outside about the time I spend playing WoW. It's pretty simple, and also pretty cool. World of Warcraft has a set of APIs and can have mods developed for it using a language called Lua. wow power leveling There are a great many of these mods - mostly concerned with giving people better access to spells or dealing with the Auction Houses, but the ones I'm most interested in are the ones that fuel sites like Thottbot that capture information about what you're doing in game and dump them to a central server - almost like a gaming version of last.fm - creating aggregate value out of the smallest of engagements. The aspect I'm most interested in is the fact that they can communicate outside the game to servers in the real world. Which makes me wonder why there doesn't appear to be much in the way of weblog integration or posting mods.

Burning Crusade Class Crossovers Announced

As we draw closer to the release of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, more of the secrets shrouding the Draenei and Blood Elves are being revealed. One legend involves the noble leader of the Draenei, Velen, and his vision. wow power leveling Velen’s vision was given substance in the form of Nobundo, a one-time Draenei priest who had devolved while the orcs decimated his race and tore the planet apart. Like his fellow Broken, Nobundo had lost contact with the Light, and so he ventured far into the deserts of Outland to meditate and pray for guidance.
After decades of silence, an unfamiliar voice finally answered his prayers. It was not the Light that whispered to him, but the wind. wow power leveling The breeze spoke to him of lost truths, of the might of the elements–of the delicate balance of power embraced by the shaman. Nobundo listened eagerly and learned all he could. When he judged the time was right, he departed the desert determined to use this knowledge to help the Draenei race.
Meanwhile, the Blood Elves busied themselves by establishing the fearsome Blood Knights. Their founding was made possible through the capture of a naaru from Tempest Keep by Prince Kael’thas Sunstrider. Kael’thas delivered the naaru to Silvermoon, where Magister Astalor Bloodsworn began months of study and experimentation on the naaru. wow power leveling Eventually, Astalor and his fellow wizards learned how to manipulate and corrupt the naaru’s luminous energies. In the end the wizards devised a process by which the powers of the Light could be transferred to recipients who had not earned such abilities. Instead of feeding upon the naaru’s magic, the blood elves would wield the naaru’s Light-given powers themselves.
Lady Liadrin, formerly a priestess, had recently renounced her vows, for she felt the Light had abandoned her people. She learned of the wizards’ achievement and volunteered to be the first to bend the stolen powers to her will. With her decision a new order was born: the Blood Knights. These renegade paladins are able to harness the sacred powers of the Alliance’s noblest heroes.
These new developments with the Draenei and Blood Elves mean that World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade will allow Alliance players to create shamans, and Horde players to play as paladins, using the newly uncovered races. wow power leveling The ability for players of both factions to use any class opens up exciting new gameplay opportunities, with fresh group-play dynamics. Those who have faithfully pledged their allegiance with one faction or the other will finally have the opportunity to try out a class that was once unavailable to them. While Alliance shamans and Horde paladins mostly share the same talents as their counterparts across the battlefield, they will also enjoy some unique abilities to themselves, similar to the priest class’ racial specialties. Stay tuned to wow-europe.com for more information.

Velen's Vision

n recent years, Velen, the noble leader of the draenei, was granted a vision....
In it he saw the Broken: formerly healthy draenei who had de-evolved during the orcs' murderous crusade to wipe out the draenei race. wow power leveling According to Velen's vision, the Broken would rise to power once again and aid their displaced brethren.
Velen's vision was given substance in the form of Nobundo, a one-time draenei Vindicator who had regressed while the orcs decimated his race and tore the planet apart. Like his fellow Broken, Nobundo had lost contact with the Light, and so he ventured far into the deserts of Outland to meditate and pray for guidance.
After decades of silence, an unfamiliar voice finally answered his prayers. It was not the Light that whispered to him, but the wind.wow power leveling The breeze spoke to him of lost truths, of the might of the elements--of the delicate balance of power embraced by the shaman.
Nobundo listened eagerly and learned all he could. When he judged the time was right, he departed the desert determined to use this knowledge to help the draenei race. However, most draenei refugees greeted the sight of a Broken with skepticism and outright prejudice. Only one of the healthy draenei did not shun the Broken: the wise and perceptive Velen.
Velen had heard the philosophy of the shaman before, but Nobundo revealed new truths. The elements were timeless; they stretched across the cosmos to inhabit every world they touched. With the proper training, the draenei might learn to wield this overlooked, seemingly inexhaustible source of power. wow power leveling
Velen rejoiced to realize that his vision was coming to pass. Accordingly he took Nobundo with him when he and his fellow refugees took possession of the naaru satellite structure Exodar from the blood elves. Thus it was that Nobundo journeyed with the draenei to the world of Azeroth.
Nobundo found that unlike the desolate wastes of Outland, Azeroth possessed abundant elemental energies.wow power leveling He shared his knowledge of shamanism with the draenei on Azeroth, and all who adopted its path flourished.
The time for the draenei shaman to test themselves draws near, for the battle against the Burning Legion is once again at hand. And the fate not only of Azeroth, but of all worlds, hangs in the balance.

Stinking Patches

Ok, so you've purchased your copy of World of Warcraft. Then you installed it and you thought the next step was playing, right? wow power leveling Of course not.You see, there have been patches. Lots and lots of patches. Big ones. Little ones. All kinds of in between ones. For someone coming into the game now, you'll have to download some or all of the ones we've been downloading all along.So how's that going? Horribly horribly wrong you say? Doesn't surprise me. Just because I've had such a bad time with it.You see, WoW uses peer to peer downloading. I'm not up on the tech there but somehow it's good for them and it's somehow supposed to be good for us too. wow power leveling Apparently us doesn't include the Philadelphia area. Just take a look at the experiences we've had among our friends. For example - these are from the early days.
Location
Success
Canada ("M")
About 1 Hour (for which we all curse him)
Florida ("R")
About 2 Hours
Philadelphia 1 (me)
Days. Literally.
Philadelphia 2 ("P")
wow power leveling
Hours - OvernightThese are rough estimates of course based on my horrible memory but you get the idea. We all got accepted into the beta just a week before the game opened up to the general public (not really a beta frankly). I was literally downloading it for a week. I disabled every fire wall, every virus system, anything I could think of to speed up the transfer. wow power leveling Nothing worked. Luckily though, if you get disconnected mid download, it will remember where you were and pick up from there.

Arathor and the Troll Wars

As the high elves fought for their lives against the trolls' fierce onslaught, the scattered, nomadic humans of Lordaeron fought to consolidate their own tribal lands. The tribes of early humanity raided each other's settlements with little heed for racial unification or honor.Yet one tribe, known as the Arathi, saw that the trolls were becoming too great a threat to ignore. The Arathi wished to bring all of the tribes under its rule so that they could provide a unified front against the troll warbands.Over the course of six years, the cunning Arathi outmaneuvered and outfought the rival tribes. After every victory, the Arathi offered peace and equality to the conquered people; thus, they won the loyalty of those they had beaten. Eventually the Arathi tribe came to include many disparate tribes, and the ranks of its army grew vast.Confident that they could hold their own against the troll warbands or even the reclusive elves if need be, the Arathi warlords decided to construct a mighty fortress city in the southern regions of Lordaeron. The city-state, named Strom, became the capital of the Arathi nation, Arathor. As Arathor prospered, humans from all over the vast continent traveled south to the protection and safety of Strom.United under one banner, the human tribes developed a strong, optimistic culture. Thoradin, the king of Arathor, knew that the mysterious elves in the northlands were under constant siege by the trolls, but refused to risk the safety of his people in defense of reclusive strangers. Many months passed as rumors of the elves' supposed defeat trickled down from the north. It was only when weary ambassadors from Quel'Thalas reached Strom that Thoradin realized how great the troll threat truly was.The elves informed Thoradin that the troll armies were vast and that once the trolls had destroyed Quel'Thalas, they would move on to attack the southlands. The desperate elves, in dire need of military aid, hastily agreed to teach certain select humans to wield magic in exchange for their help against the warbands.Thoradin, distrustful of any magic, agreed to aid the elves out of necessity. Almost immediately, elven sorcerers arrived in Arathor and began to instruct a group of humans in the ways of magic.The elves found that although humans were innately clumsy in their handling of magic, they possessed a startling natural affinity for it. One hundred men were taught the very basics of the elves' magical secrets: no more than was absolutely necessary to combat the trolls. Convinced that their human students were ready to aid in the struggle, the elves left Strom and traveled north alongside the mighty armies of King Thoradin.The united elf and human armies clashed against the overwhelming troll warbands at the foot of the Alterac Mountains. wow power leveling The battle lasted for many days, but the unflagging armies of Arathor never tired or gave an inch of ground before the troll onslaught. The elven lords deemed that the time had come to release the powers of their magic upon the enemy.The hundred human magi and a multitude of elven sorcerers called down the fury of the heavens and set the troll armies ablaze. The elemental fires prevented the trolls from regenerating their wounds and burned their tortured forms from the inside out.As the troll armies broke and attempted to flee, Thoradin's armies ran them down and slaughtered every last one of their soldiers. wow power leveling The trolls would never fully recover from their defeat, and history would never see the trolls rise as one nation again. Assured that Quel'Thalas was saved from destruction, the elves made a pledge of loyalty and friendship to the nation of Arathor and to the bloodline of its king, Thoradin. Humans and elves would nurture peaceful relations for ages to come.Book found at Scarlet Monastery.wow power leveling

1 - 70 Alliance World of Warcraft Leveling Guide

You may have looked around on the internet for WoW power leveling guides and come up empty-handed or left with a generic guide that wasn't worth your money. If you want to level your character up to 60 in a matter of days, Brian Kopp's Alliance Power Leveling Guide is a wonderful tool to use.wow power levelingBrian Kopp started playing World of Warcraft the day it was released and studied every area and quest to find out which quests are the best and fastest way to go. Quests are faster for leveling, so about 80% of the time you will be questing. The other time spent is grinding but that is unavoidable and it's not even a large amount of time at all.This World of Warcraft leveling guide is excellent for any level of player, from beginner to very experienced. You can use it casually when you need a tip on where to go or you can follow every step in the guide exactly. If you skip some quests, though, it may become confusing when it tells you to continue the quest you skipped. wow power levelingThat isn't a big deal, however.One thing to keep in mind is not to waste your time on certain quests. Quests that have you look for a certain item or a person shouldn't be bothered with. Elite quests, especially ones that are found in some instances, for the most part take up too much time. Just stick with the quests that have you kill mobs to gather a number of items. This way you're gaining experience while doing your quest for the big reward.This WoW power leveling guide shows you what quests to accept and exactly where to go, every single step of the way. You will get to level 60 in less than a week of playing time and he guarantees it with a 200% refund. This guide is for soloing, so you don't need to worry about finding groups or having your friends keep up with you.wow power levelingIncluded is a link to the UI mod Brian uses to make the guide even more integrated with the game. It comes with map coordinates so you know exactly where to go without having to guess. Another way to shorten your leveling time is to create a second character on the same server and use it as an Auction House mule. This is especially helpful if your computer lags in Ironforge.This guide uses completely legitimate tips and tricks to get you leveled in such a short time. What's great is that all the updates are free when you buy this WoW power leveling guide. wow power levelingWith the updates, you get the Burning Crusade guide when it comes out, as well as the class guides and updates to the main guide.

Crafting in Guild Wars

I love crafting in games. Even though I only played Everquest for a few months, I loved its crafting system. Guild wars GoldCrafting in Neocron was the best I’ve personally experienced in a game. I was a pretty high level constructor and nothing was more enjoyable than sticking a blue print and the necessary weapon parts into the constructor and pop out a 6-slot high damage weapon. Crafting is definitely my bag.
In Guild Wars, crafting is done by the NPCs. The first time I heard that, I groaned. I want crafting! As a player, Guild wars Gold we get salvage kits. Reminds me of a “Recycler” from Neocron. No one played as recyclers in Neocron because it was boring. But Guild Wars get is right. It’s exciting to salvage a rare crafting item like a fur square from a bit of loot you find. Or a major rune from a piece of armor. Salvaging replaces crafting for me. Guild wars GoldIt’s another way Guild Wars takes somethng that used to be a grind and grinds it right out of existence.

Guild Wars Hard Mode Fact Sheet

For veteran adventurers seeking new challenges and rewards, Hard mode is sure to provide all of the glory you seek, and more!
Hard mode will become available to any player who completes a campaign in the standard mode. Once you complete a campaign with one character, Guild wars Gold any other level 20 characters on that account will also gain access to that campaign's Hard mode. (Ascension is not required for these characters.)
Adjusted Difficulty Levels
Hard mode is not for the faint of heart. We've made adjustments to provide you with heartier henchmen and followers (for example, lower level henchmen will become level 20 upon entering a Hard mode area), but the levels of all of your foes,Guild wars Gold as well as their AI, have been enhanced. The monsters are not only harder to kill, they fight smarter than ever. So, your success in Hard mode will be determined, more than anything else, by your skill at playing the game.
For those of you who may just now be getting your footing in Guild Wars, have no fear. We've also adjusted the difficulty of the regular game as well, Guild wars Gold providing a somewhat easier play experience during your early adventures, and saving the more difficult challenges and greater rewards for later, after you've become more battle-hardened.

First Aid Skill In WOW

Want to save people's lives? Want to cure poison and heal grave wounds? Become a Physician! This secondary skill allows you to create various bandages that can be used to help yourself and other players. wow power leveling Physicians create bandages and apply them to other players that are wounded. You must have the first aid skill to apply a bandage to another player. The benefit of this skill is the ability to heal yourself (and others) using items created from ingredients you are finding anyway while you are killing monsters.wow power leveling You might be throwing these first aid ingredients away, but you should instead turn them into something useful like.Like fishing and cooking this is also a "secondary profession". Meaning you can have 2 primary and still pickup this one as well. In my experience everyone should have first aid "even if you're a healing class". wow power leveling Saves mana and always comes in handy. You can find the trainers if you want to pick this skill up in all of the major cities.

Blacksmiths can also create a few items that are needed for quests. wow power leveling They can put these items in the auction house to generate additional income, such as If you plan on being a blacksmith, you should probably already be a miner. Miners collect ore and smelt ore into bars to create the majority of blacksmithing items. Blacksmith recipes often include jewels, which are found in a variety of places.

Jewelcrafting Skill In WOW

Jewelcrafting is the brand new profession that will be released with the Burning Crusade Expansion. With this new profession you'll be able to make rings, necklaces, trinkets, and of course jewels for socketed weapons and armor. Through prospecting jewelcrafters can also receive gems from mineral ores such as, copper, mithril, iron, etc etc. Some of the different gems you can receive from prospecting will be ones that give you five points to defense, eight to agility, and things such as that to slotable items. The best skill to go with jewelcrafting will most definately be mining because of this. This is a picture of what the jewelcrafting window will look like. Blizzard has confirmed by the way that you can't pickup the jewelcrafting skill if you dont buy the expansion, although you will still be able to use the items and materials created by it. So basically if you dont buy the expansion you can still use jewelcrafting you just wont be able to make it yourself.
If you're looking to pickup jewelcrafting and start working it up first thing you should do is start gathering up the cheap mining stuff such as rough stones,copper bars, bronze bars, silver bars, and some of the cheapo gems such as malachite,sm lustrous pearls,shadowgems. You can easily get from 1 to 130ish or so using these low end materials. Once you hit around 130 or so you'll end up going to mithril and gold bars etc etc.

Engineering Skill In WOW

Engineering is a very fun and creative Profession.wow power leveling You can create all kinds of wacky things that are fun to use and also entertain and amaze other players. Engineering is used to assemble metal and stones into parts needed to make explosives, guns, scopes, bullets, mechanical dragons, aquatic helmets, and much more. More than any other wow power leveling Profession, engineering products require several steps to be completed. Most items created by engineers can only be used by engineers. You can sometimes create something you can sell to another engineer. Many engineering recipes require a lot of different parts before the item can be created. This will require wow power leveling more space in your bags than other Professions. If you plan on being an engineer, you should probably already be a miner. Miners collect ore and smelt ore into bars to create the majority of engineering items. Engineer recipes often include jewels, which are found in a variety of places. Typically, most engineers buy or are given rare jewels from other players. The auction house is a good place to buy gems if you can't mine them yourself. Some engineer recipes require leather, which you will need to buy from a skinner or the auction house. You will need to find a lot of other odd ingredients for your recipes that might need to be purchased from other players. Some items can actually be fished up with the fishing skill or found from monster dropswow power leveling or treasure chests. To train engineering find the Journeyman trainer in any of the major cities horde and alliance side. You can loot a lot of engineering supplies from monsters, but i'd say its best to pickup mining along with it. You can gather a ton of engineering supplies through mining. Like blacksmithing, mining is the way to go if you choose engineering.

Enchanting Skill In WOW

Enchanters use their magical formulae to grant permanent augmentation to weapons, armor and other equipment. Enchanting wow gold requires the use of special ingredients that can only be gathered by disenchanting magical items. Using these ingredients enchanters can make items more powerful. Enchanting is a higher-level Profession, thus requiring more work than most Professions. The enchanter does not generate items directly from the skill, but instead makes existing items better. To attain higher levels of enchanting, enchanters often must repeatedly cast enchantments on their friends equipment, sell wow gold enchantments to other players, or offer free enchantments. Another challenge for enchanters is gathering magic items to disenchant in order to gather the required enchanting reagents. Enchanting for a guild is typically the easiest since guild wow gold members send you items to disenchant. Another option is spending money to buy materials, buying trade skill items to disenchant, or using a high level character to try to find magic items to disenchant. Additionally, enchanters must also work with other Profession masters to create a few other reagents required for enchanting. If you want to see some misc recipes and what the enchanting skill box looks like in game check out.
First thing you need to do if you're thinking of picking up this profession is find your Enchanting Trainer. If you're alliance you can find one in wow gold Darnassus, Ironforge, and Stormwind. After you've picked it up you need to go around and start leveling. When you get a green or blue items you dont need just use your disenchant icon and disenchant them. After disenchanted you'll receive some enchanting supplies and you can start raising your skill. Take into account that this profession is one of the hungriest ones, as in takes a lot of supplies to skill up.

Cooking Skill In WOW

From Beer-Basted Boar Ribs to Giant Clam Scorcho, there is no recipe too obscure or odd to avoid notice from the Chefs of Azeroth. Food is used in the game to heal players out of combat, so they can get back to fighting as quickly as possible. As you're traveling around the world, you'll notice that you often wow gold receive pieces of meat, which, instead of being sold to merchants, could be used to create food. If you're a player that relies on food, such as a non-healing player or a player that solos, food should become very important to you. You can buy food from merchants, but the food gained through cooking wow gold is nearly free and it is actually much more effective. Cooking is also a great "flavor" secondary skill because you can entertain players with the funny and interesting dishes you can create. Hand someone some Gooey Spider Cake, Giant wow gold Clam Scorcho, or a Curiously Tasty Omelet and you'll see what we mean. Some Recipe's you'll see once you hit 300 cooking are. One good thing about cooking is that its a secondary profession so you can have it and your 2 primary ones as well. It's good to pickup another secondary skill as well "fishing" wow power leveling to go with cooking. This will allow you to fish up a lot of stuff you can use towards cooking and save you a great deal of time. You can find the alliance trainers for this in Darnassus, Ironforge, and Stormwind. Horde side you need to look in Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff, and Undercity.

Little Known WoW Help Site

Hey guys, golly jee wiz wow power leveling it has been a long time since I last posted. Work is really been tugging at me and I have been really tired and I even haven’t really seen much of WoW lately either.

I guess I could quit my job and play WoW all day long….well…hehe it sounds good but I don’t think I could do it personally. Anyway, wow gold with the little amount of time I had, one of my WoW buddies informed me about a new WoW website they are doing and really taking some serious time to put into it as well.

The name of it is AskApadwe.com and it is a World of Warcraft help site. Now, my friend named this site after his character he plays all the time. wow gold(Yeah, he is a bit crazy…) The site is really a blog as it gives dates on posts and allows comments and even social bookmarking.

He says it’s a WoW help site but to me and everyone else that has checked out from me it really is a FAQ site. The whole premise of the site is readers ask him questions by filling out a form on the site and he answers the question. Simple, eh?

This site can really become great wow gold especially if it continues to have answers to good questions. There are a couple of fantastic posts about grinding scryer rep, grinding aldor rep, as well as posts even to tell you how to setup a WoW mount macro. He launched this site in the very beginning of March and there is starting to get a good number of questions answered but it could still use a lot more content on it in order to really help out the WoW community enough to become a must-use resource for all WoW players.

I didn’t tell you about it earlier this month cheap wow gold due to the fact at that point it didn’t have hardly any info and wasn’t useful at that point and I don’t want to waste your time on crappy sites. It really has came around and i’m impressed by it and I think you will be too, so stop by and ask Apadwe a question if you want. You can also drop some comments here so I can see if you have found the site to be helpful.

Nightfalls On Guild Wars

As all the players know that there are three place in the Guild Wars. Guild wars Gold And Nighfalls is the third.
Covering the new Guild Wars expansion, Nightfall, which will bring the first trilogy to a close (I wonder how many trilogies there will be? The increasingly inaccurately named Guild Wars trilogy, Guild wars Gold s Douglas Adams put it?). Nightfall is based on North African cultural and mythology, which required a delicate touch during development.
It’s good to see ArenaNet is considering these elements during development. It’s easy to just create a story quickly, especially using stereotypes your Guild wars Gold audience is familiar with as convenient shorthand, but if you want your world and inhabitants to feel truthful you have to do the work. Also in the interview, Strain tackles the likelihood of killer giraffes in Nightfall. Hint: It’s rather low. Thankfully there’s another Jeff, surname Minter, who’s filling that market void with Space Giraffe.

Don't forget to convert feet into miles or vise-versa.

Have You Checked Out The WOW Armory Yet?

The answer to that is probably pretty simple yes or no wow gold , but I want to ask the question, I just want to know What are your thoughts about the WoW Armory. But who knows that may have started a huge discussion rant kinda like what happened on the WoW forums.

Many people both believe the armory is a good thing as well as a bad thing. I, myself, believe it to be a good thing as it gives an official way to check out your stats and stuff while not logged into the game wow gold without having to download another addon to get that information.

Yes, I have been using it also to “spy” on my friends to see what talent builds they are using along with what gear they have. I do that in order to help better prepare my character and to learn different ways to customize wow gold builds. It really is a great information tool.

On the other hand it also does take away any “privacy” we had in the game. A lot of people like to rant and rave about that fact there and they don’t stop to realize that Blizzard owns all the character data and they can do wow gold whatever they want with it so “privacy” in World of Warcraft never really existed. Anyway, that is another total discussion.

It also serves a great purpose as a tool for any guild master. How? Pretty simply a great way to see an overall assesment of their own guild. Easy way to find out where they need to beef up numbers and what they are missing on wow gold recruitment as well as knowing if the numbers of level 70s is great enough to start trying to conquer the end game instances.

Also a great “spy” tool to look at other guilds. So…wait…you…mean….that this tool can both be used for good as well as bad purposes? wow gold Can’t anything worthwhile be used for good as well as bad purposes?


Ok, all joking aside. Players seem to be wow gold upset because this tool actually will raise the bar of WoW players and who really wants more competition?

What does everyone else think about the armory and do you plan to use it for good or bad purposes? Let me know.
