Okay, everyone. We’ve all had time to get used to the whole 4.0.3 patch now so I think we’ve seen just what it is that’s needed out there. From what I’ve been able to observe, if you ever have trouble getting into a raid, dungeon, or any other instance, bring a tank. Tanks are getting really scarce right now, and everyone wants one. Nerfing healers has put these guys up at the top of the most desirable list, and we have the chance to capitalize on this.

If you have been wanting to buy wow accounts, now you know exactly what to go for. Especially if you have a healer who is now pretty much a door stop. Pals are taking the lead on the healing game right now from what I’ve been able to figure out. These serious revamps really make it hard to figure out just what’s going to be useful and what should sit in the scrap pile for a while.

Anyway, beefing up a tank would be in your best interests if you want to get into a group any time soon.

Thankfully, Toonstorm always has a really good selection of them available with some nice alts in case you get bored with the tanking. And who knows just what’s going to happen when the full expansion comes? There could be more nerfs, more buffs, or something even weirder planned. It’s hard to say with Blizzard. I know they’ve been announcing all sorts of things about Cataclysm for, well, forever really. But I get the feeling that they have something else that they aren’t telling us yet. Some sort of hidden ace that will have us all drooling yet again. They are tricky like that, after all.

Anyway, prices are going to get a little ugly shortly, especially for tanks. On the other hand, they’re dropping like mad for healer classes, and it’s no big deal to get one of them on the cheap, then respec it. If, that is, you can find a use for a priest right now.

Good luck with that.

Not much news in WoW these days. Brewfest is still going on, but that’s about as good as it gets for the moment. Nothing in there is worth buying  account for.

The Gnomeregan and Echo Isles, now, that’s a different matter entirely.

Both of them are essentially the same thing. You’re trying to take back some lands within your respective faction’s borders that have been taken over by a splinter group of some sort. It looks like they’ve designed it for people of all levels, but you know the best stuff is for the 80s. I mean, really, do you think you’re going to be taking on the best bosses at 35? Not likely. And the best rewards are for the higher level folk, too.

Given that, you may want to buy wow account sooner rather than later. Who knows what Cataclysm will do to this little campaign, after all? No sense missing out if you don’t have to.

With that in mind, I’m going to take a look see at prices at my current favorite site. Toonstorm has been rocking out deals on the combo accounts lately that really can’t be beat.

For example, I’ve been looking at one set with alts that really captured my attention. It has three 80s in it, one Draenei Death Knight (blood build), one Draenei Shaman (restoration), and one Night Elf Rogue (assassination). I have to say that I really like the variety it offers. It would make me that much more useful to my guild because we have some irregular players right now and we never know just who or what we’re going to have available for any given raid. Knowing that, I know I would just feel better if there were enough people hanging out who could fill any gap. I’m experienced enough to play any of these classes and builds without too much time relearning them.

Besides, the price is insane. All three accounts, if you buy them together, runs only $419! That’s hundreds off the prices of each individual character! And they have great deals on Horde alts, too.

I would really check it out ASAP. I doubt they’ll stick around for long.

If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, I mean buy wow account. If you have any intention of doing so you’ll really want to get it done well before Cataclysm drops. I say this for a number of reasons.

First and foremost prices always go nuts around release dates. While we don’t yet know when the big C is coming out, we know it can’t be too far off. They’ve already been beta testing and we’ve seen the box art. Not much other than the actual content remains to be announced. This is what Blizzcon will be all about this year. SC 2 is already on shelves (or was anyway, seeing as it took almost a week before the local stores were able to restock) and Diablo III is so far into the future it is only barely on my radar. That means they’re going to focus very closely on WoW, which makes me really pleased. But after it’s announced you know that prices for accounts will start to spike pretty sharply around that time. It’s better to get one (or 3 if you’re smart and take Toonstorm’s deal where you get discounts for alts) now while prices are still low to moderate. Just before and after relase date things will get ugly.

Flip side to that is that the new races won’t be represented on any site for a while after release. Your other option is to buy wow account after you start seeing them show up.

Or really you could do both so you can take advantage of the new content while later enjoying the goodies that the new races bring to the table.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Blizzard doesn’t much like anyone making money on WoW that isn’t Blizzard. They may decide to put in a few little tweaks that allow them to hunt down anyone who buys an account. While I can’t off the top of my head think of a way to do this, that doesn’t mean it can’t be done.

Most of the time I’m not worried about this. As long as I’m buying from a well established site that comes with all sorts of guarantees I can’t imagine anything happening. Those jokers on Craigslist and eBay are another matter entirely. They’re probably licking their chops about this right now, but don’t be pulled into their promises. It just isn’t worth the risk.

You all know what I’m talking about. This new content, the Ruby Sanctum, includes plenty of references to ol’ Deathwing and his twilight brood. And if you’ve been reading the website as frequently as I do, you’ll know that Deathwing himself features prominently in Cataclysm.

That, of course is the word on every WoW player’s lips right now. They’ve already started beta testing the thing, which means that a release date announcement can’t be too far behind. If you need a reason to buy wow account, there you have it.

Of course, when you’re a major player like Blizzard who runs their own convention, you have the leisure of waiting until said con to dish the info. Based on the new content and timing, I’d say that this Blizzcon will see the announcement of the release date. Furthermore, I figure we’re looking at sometime before Black Friday for the release.

The devs, if they’re like any other programmers or content writers that I’ve met, don’t really care when it releases, just so long as their baby is out and running. The bean counters are another matter. They aren’t interested in the eager panting of the fans, et cetera. They’re looking for the thing to have the biggest financial impact, and in the world of video games, that means holiday season.

People are always a little flush with money that they’ve been saving for the holidays, and they know what’s on evey WoW player’s list this year. Or will be if it’s announced. Just like when SC2 was released this week, they see just how many people will line up to buy it in stores and download it, no matter the cost.

Of course, we’d do this if they released the stupid thing in May, too. These guys have 11 million people hooked harder than crack cocaine ever could hope to. I’m just not sure why they think they’ll maximize on it if they wait. We’ll pay no matter when it comes out. Period.

But the good news is this means you have plenty of time to buy wow account so that you’re ready. The level cap is being raised, and you’ll be that much closer to 85 if you’re starting at 80. Plus we all know prices will spike around release time, so it’s better to buy wow account and then hold it in reserve until you’re ready. That way you’ll at least have it.

Just when you think that they’ve run out of ideas…

There are two really noteworthy things that I’m going to talk about today. The first one you can buy wow account to access, the second you can’t. Both of them are way too important to not mention.

The first is the new content that they dropped with the 3.3.5 patch. They’ve opened up a brand new raid dungeon for us to play around in. The official details are a little sparse right now, but the new area is called the Ruby Sanctum, and it promises wonderous riches to all who would brave its dangers. The story is pretty cool, too. Basically, the red dragonflight was in charge of a sort of UN of dragons, keeping the peace, and trying to preserve life in Azeroth. Suddenly, the Ruby Sanctum, their headquarters, is completely silent and no one has been able to contact them via any means. Guardposts are empty, and the hearth fires have died out. Just what waits inside is still a bit of a mystery, but it’s going to be more than worth the while to play it through. After all, the fate of the last clutch of red dragon eggs hangs in the balance inside, and we all know that where there’s dragons, there’s treasure.

The second big piece of news is that the Cataclysm beta has gone live! Obviously it wouldn’t be wise to buy an account then attempt to get in on it, but it would be seriously cool to get in on the next chapter of WoW before retail release. Actually, it’s impossible to get in on it unless you get an invite from Blizzard themselves. It’s opt-in only, and you don’t get to pick. Here’s hoping that some of my faithful readers get the notice and can jump in. Post a comment if there’s any inside info that you can share with me! I know, NDAs are a bear, but there have to some ways to get a little bit of info out.

Anyway, if you don’t have a level 80 yet, now may be the time to buy wow account so that you’re ready both for the content already launched, and for the good things to come. The end of a world doesn’t come along every day, after all. You don’t want to miss out when it hits.

Hey out there. I’m happy to say that I have better news this time around. No more gloomy, at least for now.

As we all know the newest patch went live a few weeks ago, and 3.3.3 is making a huge difference in the PVP world. One major change is the reward for honorable kills. I’m all about these, myself, and now that the honor bonus has been bumped to 200% I’m really stoked.

The other thing that will affect anyone looking to buy wow account is the new Random battlegrounds option in PvP. It’s restricted to level 80, which means your trusty 75 DPS won’t make the cut, but if you pick up a new account you’ll have a great time of it. Basically, you get in the queue and when your group comes up, you get dropped into a completely random field (like the name implies). This means no time to prep or plan a strategy, you just go in as is and hope for the best. The real upside is that you get some serious bonuses if you take on the randomness. I haven’t had the pleasure yet, but I’m looking forward to the chance.

The other changes were all pretty minor. Ranges for buffs have been increased to 100 yards, which is a nice little change for those parties that get spread out (like mine usually do). They’ve also tweaked some of the powers and boss abilities for balance purposes. Same old, same old.

Another great piece of news is that they’ve opened up the registration for the Arena Tournament. There’s an exclusive title for the winner(s), and a neat pet you can win, too. The qualifier should be later this month, but they may have to move it out a little depending.

Of course, your bought accounts don’t do you any good here since you make a level 80 at the time, but it’s still a good romp.

Now, the best news is that the announcements haven’t had much of an effect on account prices. Even so, I have to recommend that you stick with safe sites that you know, like Toonstorm since there will be a lot of scam sites that crop up.

Take it easy and keep safe out there

Hey everyone!

Sorry I’ve been out of touch for a while.  Things got a little hectic in the store, so I had to take a bit of a break from writing to get everything under control again.  I won’t bore you with the details, but sometimes running a business isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.  Thankfully, things have settled down and everything is back to normal.  Plus, it’s winter, so I have every excuse I could want to stay inside gaming.

In other, more pressing news the 3.3 patch just dropped last week and it’s looking fantastic!  The new bosses alone are reason enough to play.  Lots of my regulars are really stoked to play, although the leveling is daunting.  One guy, relatively new to the place, was wondering what it would take to get himself to 80 without sinking months into it.  He’s worried that they’ll release the next expansion before he even gets to finish this one!

So, I recommended that he try buying an account instead of burning valuable time building one himself.  Depending on what he buys, he can do just about anything he wants.  He wanted to know if I knew of any places where he could do this safely.  Since last post, I haven’t had a whole lot of time to search, but a quick look around google told me that lots of places have cropped up offering accounts.  Some look pretty shady, some not so much, but are so new that I just can’t bring myself to recommend them.  In the end, I figured it would be best to play it safe and go with a company I already trust, so I steered him to Toonstorm.  I’ve mentioned them here several times before because of their awesome service and pricing.  It seems that hasn’t changed much in the last few months, either.  He was wanting a paladin and those are going for around $200 right now, which is really good.  Of course the higher priced ones come with better gear, so there’s plenty of room for a personal touch.

He said he would try it out and let me know just what happens.  I’ll post that here next time.  Plus, I’ll start reviewing some places with different criteria, like I mentioned before.

Until later!

Howdy gamers,

I don’t know about you but I had a wonderful Christmas, with lots of family and friend and delicious food–I even did some of the cooking! As a result, however, I haven’t gotten my lazy self around to reviewing a new gold site for this week. So I’m going to give you something almost as good, which is an excuse to celebrate some more (hey, you gotta find something to raise your glass to between now and New Year’s, right?)

As you may have guessed from the headline, the big news in the WoW world these days is the milestone of 11.5 million subscribers. Not only has WOTLK surpassed anyone’s expectations, selling over 4 million copies in the first month (!) but people are still signing up to play the game for the first time in astounding numbers. It’s especially impressive when you consider that overall this holiday season people spent way less money due to the shaky economy. I bet there are some Blizzard employees enjoying a nice Christmas bonus as we speak! Incredibly enough, a spokesman for the game says that the base package for new subscribers is actually doing better than it was this time last year.

I think that’s reason enough to celebrate, don’t you? Thanks for reading and stay tuned next week for reviews of the best places to buy WoW account safely!
