World of Warcraft meets craigslist

The site is a virtual-world version of the classifieds sections of real-world newspapers and real-world sites such as craigslist.org. Sometimes reposting your lastest Epic BOE drop on the auction house until it sells isn’t the best idea — all those auction house deposits add up.

Trust me, everything is under control

Marilyn has an interesting point over at WoW Ladies: if you see her grinding Consortium rep and taking on three mobs at a time in Netherstorm, leave her alone-- it's all under control. I sometimes have this same problem as a resto Shaman....

WoW End-Game Review - What now

A full review of WoW and Warcrafts end game. What to do now that you hit the level cap. Players who have reached level sixty can work on several things for their character in the end game of Warcraft. The two biggest that come to mind are PvP and raids. Warcraft’s end game is not based on achieving skills for your character, but on getting loot that will boost your character’s abilities. Simply put, it is all about your gear.

Microsoft warns game developers of cyber thieves

All too familiar with hackers looking to exploit security flaws in its software, Microsoft warned video game developers Monday that their PC games are now a target for criminals. Popular massively multiplayer online games, such as World of Warcraft, have created a market for valuable game identities loaded with gold or other hard-earned forms of in-game currency that can be used to buy new weapons, magic spells or other trappings to advance within the game.

VGGEN's Weekly World of Warcraft #6 - Post E3 2006 Thoughts

Now that E3’s cloud of press releases and promotional information has settled, we finally have more solid information about The Burning Crusade. Even with the new information released, I’m still underwhelmed by Blizzard’s showing. Sure, they showcased the upcoming patch 1.11 and expansion, but they did little else to show that they do indeed have any sort of long-term plan for World of Warcraft...

Alternatives to Zam.com

As a sort of addendum to the news post a few days ago, concerning IGE buying out Allakhazam, I thought I'd mention a similar site, Goblin's Workshop, that collects data like thottbot and Alla but isn't, to my knowledge, owned by IGE. Those interested in a boycott might be interested in this. A data collector add-on is also available for download on the website.

The truth about IGE and the gold industry, thottbot and Allakhazam.

IGE bought thotbott, allakhazam, and a bunch of other websites. Working to integrate all of their web properties (Ogaming, Thottbot, and Allakhazam), IGE today announced plans to create a new super-network, Zam.com. This new MMO network is being spun to the community as if Allakhazam had purchased Ogaming when it was himself who was bought out. We thought the truth should be known. This is make it a lot easier to avoid the whole network, wherever you see ZAM.com.

Leveling up lockpicking is just horrible

The process of leveling up your skill is as follows: right click a box and wait for the “picking lock� bar to fill up over the course of about five seconds. Surely there’s been some mistake, I thought. But after asking around in the general chat area for a while it seems like there really isn’t any other way. What is Blizzard thinking? The game's been out for well over a year and they haven't attempted to improve this process?

Beta: Warcraft Search powered by Google

This tool leverages the power of Google to search the universe of World of Warcraft. For example, if you search for "gold ore" the search engine will automatically know that you're searching for gold ore as it relates to World of Warcraft.
