Blizzard, always on the look out to improve on formulas that already work- fired up an ancient copy of Microsoft Word 1997- and lo and behold, they found a little guy called ‘Clippy’, who was super helpful and ever present.
The genius programmers and marketers that they are, thought to themselves – “hey, what if we made a pet that was REALLY helpful and actually talked to the player????”
Cataclysm Dailies- you know you love them! You know you WANT them!
What if I told you there was ONE Cataclysm Daily Quest that was so dark. So coveted and so mysterious, that you’d never be able to find it????
No matter how good you are, no matter how much research you do- no matter what your reputation, gear, faction, experience or who’s mama you know– the mere mention of this Cataclysm Daily puts fear even into the hearts of the GMs?
As we all know, leveling guides can be a great way to power level your characters to 85 in a matter of days…as long as you start from level 1 and play solo that is. Anyone who has tried using a leveling guide with Pre-Leveled characters, Heirloom items, Recruit-A-Friend, or Dungeons/PVP, knows they don’t work as well in those situations. Well not anymore…
Zygor Guides has done it again! They’ve created a guide so smart that it works in every situation you can imagine.
It doesn’t matter if you start using the guide late in the game, or with the increased experience gained from Heirloom items or RAF, somehow the guide can intelligently sync with your character instantly. You can even do dungeons or pvp and jump right back into the guide like you never stopped using it at all.
It really caters to your specific playing style. No other guide is this powerful, period.

That’s right, folks. Development on the first major content patch for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is well underway! We’re currently making preparations to bring some of the initial content and updates we’ve been working on for this patch to the Public Test Realms. So you ask, “what will we find in the first 4.1 test client?” (You did ask that, right?) Well, let me tell you! The Gurubashi Tribe Persists
Originally a 20-player dungeon released in patch 1.7, Zul’Gurub will once again open its gates, featuring updated lore, all-new encounters, achievements, and improved loot! Zul’Gurub is now a level-85 five-player Heroic difficulty dungeon. To provide a new tier above the current Cataclysm dungeons, players can expect to find epic-quality item level 353 loot. The minimum average item level to enter this Heroic dungeon is 346.
This week Blizzard received a powerful new ally on in their never-ending war against gold sellers: Paypal.
WoW Gold Sellers on Notice!
In response to Blizzard’s complaints against sellers using Paypal as their method for receiving payments for in-game World of Warcraft gold, Paypal issued a letter to various popular gold sellers threatening to suspend their accounts. The full letter from Paypal is copied below (via WoW Insider):
“You were reported to PayPal as an Intellectual Properties violation by Blizzard Entertainment Inc. for the sale of World of Warcraft Merchandise.
“If you feel your sales do not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of the Reporting Party, please complete the attached Objection to Infringement Report by January 21, 2011.
“The completed form should be faxed to the attention of the Acceptable Use Policy Department at [number removed] or emailed to [email removed].
“Should you choose not to object to the report, you will be required to remove all World of Warcraft Merchandise from the website [url removed] in order to comply with the Acceptable Use Policy.’”
WoW Gold Sellers Not Down for the Count YET!
Though this move isn’t enough to put gold sellers out of commission entirely, it presents a major blow to their business. The harder it is to pay for virtual money through a trustworthy source, the less likely gamers will be willing to take the risk of buying gold at all.
