Google does WoW maps? I don’t know which one is more ironic and who is taking over who here. Google and WoW are everywhere these days… Now calm down - did I say it was a bad thing? Just an observation.

(pic) Blizzard tries to get customers back - on digg? coincidence?
Posted on 2007 under General | No Comment25 Apr
Well I saw the post about the LOTR game, and I noticed Blizzards ads for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. Coincidence that it was there, when talking is out all over the internet, that LOTR is going to harvest a lot of Blizzards costumers? It was there each time I reloaded the page.
Coincidence…?
The WSVG has released the gear that will be made available to players who attend any of WSVG’s LAN events. OOOO I want the bags!
Now I see the benefit of this bot but I do understand that it infringes on Blizz. I mean when we were raiding 4-5 nights a week how nice would it have been for a bot to sit there and farm soul shards, create food and water, skin things, etc. Not only could you have a little spare cash to save your butt when you had to buy health pots at 5g a pop for one, but it would free up some of your time to see outside, your friends and family, maybe do a little laundry so your co-workers don’t avoid you and your stench……
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just all get along and they struck some compromise that worked for all of us.
Fearing impending legal action, Donnelly filed suit first, requesting a jury trial and seeking judgment that his program is not infringing on any rights. Several days ago, Blizzard and Vivendi filled a countersuit…
Watch The Simpsons make fun of World of Warcraft!
World of Warcraft : Burning Crusade Free Trial
Posted on 2007 under General, Burning Crusade | No Comment24 Apr
I think Blizz feels like it is losing some of the mountains of moola that used to flow it’s way every month because people are quiting left and right. Want to give it a shot and see how you feel? They are offering a free trial to the latest expansion for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. The Trial is open to both current and former WoW subscribers.
During your 10-day trial period, you can explore Outland, try your hand at the new jewelcrafting profession, and create blood elf and draenei characters, which you’ll be able to keep if and when you decide to upgrade to the full version of the expansion. Please note that a full version of World of Warcraft must be present on your computer prior to installing the Burning Crusade trial.
Although this is pure promoting on their part (their one liner below not mine) I figured I’d include it since I do like the signature concept. Enjoy!
Want a cool looking signature with stats of your WoW Characters? Visit WoWSig.net and make one in a few mouse-clicks.
Why Blizzard is Stifling its Players

Oh how I agree with this article. This is one of the reasons I have quit playing atm (the other being Anthony since he is becoming a moving terror). I eagerly awaited BC only for it to take forever. It gave me breathing room to step back from the game and realize there are other things that can fill my time just as well. I miss the game but more for the social interaction with all my friends than for the not-really-new content.
Ever since the release of World of Warcraft (WoW), Blizzard pretty much set the standard on what a major massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) should be like. A massive world, an unheard of amount of items and a game play style that makes things fun for just about every MMO player out there. Then on top of all the addictive elements, charge $15
