Tom Chilton On Blizzard’s Microtransactions
Posted by iTZKooPA on Thursday, November 12th, 2009 - 13 Comments
I know I had a little nerd rage in me yesterday during our polite discussion about the Pandaren Monk. It turns out that Blizzard wasn’t trying to be an evil corporation. Just that somewhere along the lines Blizzard made a simple mistake when populating a database field, causing the item to sell out when it ... More

Posted by Amatera on Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 - 7 Comments
Likely in accordance with the raid testing today, 3.3 has been updated yet again. Though it’s a full 181 MB, the documented changes are minuscule, as they have been over the past few builds. I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m happy about the changes being made to Murder. The description below isn’t just ... More
Blizzard Sells Out Of Non-Combat Pet
Posted by iTZKooPA on Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 - 15 Comments
Really Blizzard? Really? You’ve sold out of an item that doesn’t even exist? One that doesn’t need to be manufactured, doesn’t require materials or any labor to reproduce? Folks, as of press time the charity helping Pandaren Monk is officially “Sold Out” on North American shores. The paradox of selling out of a virtual item ... More
Just One Day Left To Merge Your Account
Posted by Amatera on Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 - 11 Comments
Ever since Blizzard announced that you could merge your World of Warcraft with your Battle.net account, we knew that some day they’d make the change manditory. And why, you ask? Battle.net has been a mainstay of Blizzard’s online community for years and it’s about to receive its biggest upgrade ever with the release of Starcraft ... More
Rogue Weapon Swapping a Big Deal
Posted by Heartbourne on Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 - 14 Comments
There is a recent fad among top-level Rogues. Its a throwback to the old weapon swap + Shiv that was so popular in the early Burning Crusade days. Thanks to things like Cut to the Chase and Glyph of Envenom, its becoming easier and easier to keep 5 stacks of Deadly Poison (DP) on your ... More

WoWjackass: Keeping Tabs on All that Treachery
Posted by pixiestixy on Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 - 9 Comments
This past week, for me at least, has been all about crazy, oh-no-they-didn’t moments in WoW, and hopefully educating our dear readers a bit about how not to get duped by would-be bad apples. I have one more tidbit to share before shifting my concentration back to where it belongs, which certainly isn’t on these ... More
Cataclysm Novel Scarring Your Eyes In August 2010
Posted by iTZKooPA on Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 - 13 Comments
Before you get your “ZOMG Cataclysm Is Coming Out In August” panties in a bunch, let’s be clear, the release date of the book makes no mention of the third expansion launching side-by-side with it. Technically the date isn’t even official, no matter how accurate Amazon has been in the past, Blizzard is Blizzard, even ... More
Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems: Start Hording For Patch 3.3
Posted by iTZKooPA on Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 - 9 Comments
Patch 3.3 is all over the WoW news of late. The patch notes have been continuously updated, bosses have been tested and Heartbourne has posted more videos than I can keep up with. Lost in the information overload may have been the reveal by MMO-Champion of some awesome craftable gear. Raiders will be getting access ... More
