World Of Warcraft 3 Year Celebration

Posted on January 18th, 2009 by admin

World of Warcraft has been around for 3 years now. In order to celebrate the game’s success, Blizzard Entertainment has created a new contest to commemorate the anniversary. It’s been three years since players first entered World of Warcraft and took up their roles in shaping its history. In that time, friendships have been formed; wars have been waged; and through incredible feats of coordination and perseverance, some unimaginably powerful beings have been vanquished. To celebrate the third anniversary of the game’s North American launch and to show our gratitude for the ongoing support, enthusiasm, and dedication of its thriving community, we’ll be giving away several prizes over the next three weeks: * During the week of November 26, we’ll award 10 J!nx gift certificates valued at $100.00 each. * During the week of December 3, we’ll give away 20 sets of four World of Warcraft action figures. * During the week of December 10, we’ll provide 5 lucky players with an Apple iPod Touch and a two-year World of Warcraft subscription. So you have a chance to win prizes. Check out the contest rules and regulations for more information.

Enchanting changes in patch 3.0.8

Posted on January 6th, 2009 by admin

The developers have mentioned here and there that they weren’t totally happy with Enchanting, as far as materials go. You need too much of it, and it’s too rare to support the demand without becoming crazy inflated in price. Patch 3.0.8 was supposed to contain a few changes, and holy cow are there changes. I assumed the changes would be minor, like more dust coming from every disenchantment, but the MMO-Champion forums has compiled a list that surprises me quite a bit. It actually is a pretty sweeping change, reducing the material costs of a whole load of enchantments. Dust isn’t the only thing targeted, they use less materials across the board. In some cases, the material costs are halved, or more than halved. It’s definitely not a small little change to Enchanting, waiting until the patch to enchant your gear will save you hundreds of gold. If you want to play it safe or are just curious, MMO-Champion has the full list for your perusal.
