So, that whole thing I said about Blizzard being completely spent as far as updates go? Yeah, they appear to want to make a liar out of me. If you haven’t found out about it yet, you need to get out from under that rock, reactivate your account, and buy wow gold so you’re ready to take it on.

The premise is a good one. It seems that part of what’s been holding the Scourge at bay over the last ten thousand years has been an alliance formed by the five dragonflights that live in Azeroth. This alliance, the Wyrmrest Accord, ensures that each of the major flights is ready to preserve all life on Azeroth and combat the Sourge at every turn.

The whole thing has been spearheaded by the red dragons in Wyrmrest Temple and the Ruby Sanctum. There has been some strife among the flights as time has marched on, however. The black dragons were found to be harboring twilight dragon eggs (Deathwing’s creations, bad mojo all around) and no one was too pleased about this corruption in the midst of their war against the Scourge. The reds were too busy with the Scourge and the blue dragons at the time to deal with it, so they “accidentally” mentioned it, through various channels, to the Council of Six. This led to a nice big raid and some human heroes destroyed the eggs and defeated Sartharion in the Obsidian Sanctum. No one made much of a fuss over this, and the black’s complaints fell on deaf ears.

Fast forward to present time. Now, the halls of the Ruby Sanctum stand silent. No word has been heard from them in some time, and people are starting to get worried. No one can seem to get in touch with the red’s, and there really doesn’t seem to be anyone there to answer the call anyway. And just to heap it on, there’s a clutch of red eggs in that sanctum! Basically, if something isn’t done the best stronghold in all of Northrend will be lost to the Scourge if no one goes in and braves the dangers.

Enter us.

I’ve been checking the whole thing out, and it’s been a blast. I’m all about new areas, especially when they come with a great story, or at least great loot.

If I were you, I’d buy wow gold ASAP and get in there.

Seriously, that’s how I’ve felt this last month. After the initial hubbub from the tournament finally settled down, I was left wondering what they were going to hit me with next.

I must admit, after everything they’ve been throwing at us for the last few months, I am well and truly spent.

But, at long last they’ve allowed us a moment of peace, like an oasis in a sandstorm. The eye of the brightly colored hurricane at last settles over us and we can spend a little time just playing for a while, rather than having something new jump at us or nerf our bandwidth when it starts to download.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the content. I’m just kinda glad for the temporary reprieve. It gives me a chance to actually enjoy the game before they decide to launch Cataclysm. As much as I’m looking forward to that, I still have a lot of WotLK that I want to play.

The really good news with all of this is that the market is starting to calm down too. Suppliers are slowly rebuilding their stockpiles and demand is slipping just enough that prices are starting to even out as well. To use the site from last time as a comparison point, now 1000 gold is down at $5.62 at Toonstorm.com.

This means that the next few weeks or so will be the best time to buy wow gold that we’re going to get. Prices are going to level out and then start to fluctuate based on market strain from new buyers. This means that they’ll drop and hit a plateau sometime in the next couple of weeks. You’ll see some movement up or down depending on all sorts of factors, and some places will undoubtedly start to run sales and discounts to keep people buying during the summer months.

This is all, of course, assuming Blizzard doesn’t blindside us with a massive new update that shakes everything up. Kind of unlikely given what they released these last few months, though. I mean really, what can you do in WotLK after the Lich King is dead? You’re already level 80 at that point (and I think it’s pretty obvious they won’t raise the level cap until Cataclysm), so you’re down to PvP or running the same instances over and over again. It will be a great chance to really load up on gold and the best gear so that you’re ready for the next big thing.

Good luck!

Hey everybody out there!

I hope the newest patch has been keeping you all thoroughly entertained. I haven’t been able to jump into it just yet, but I plan on it as soon as possible. These last couple of levels just take forever.

Turns out those guys at Blizzard had one last little trick to throw our direction. They’ve managed to create a duplicate world, minus the instance portals, for the purpose of holding a massive tournament. And when I say massive I really mean it. This thing will start on the regional level where they’ll be holding 3v3 battles with a first place prize of $15,000! If you’re looking to buy wow gold, that’ll cover you for a good long while.

Next they move the whole thing on to the global level. It’s the same format, but you’re playing against the best players from around the world. But if you can come out on top, it’s $75,000 to you and your team.

Don’t worry about being outclassed by anyone either. In-game characters don’t matter at all. They give you a level 80 character and as much cash as you need to buy all of the gear you could possibly want. Running low? Grab some more! You can even get things like honor trinkets and epic drop items to load yourself down with.

The good news is, none of this should affect pricing in the least. This is one of those updates that lets the gold buying industry settle down a little. No new stuff that causes runs on gold means that supply can start to rebuild.

The bad news is the last few patches have really done a number on the existing supply. Prices have gone up just a little bit as a result. Toonstorm.com hasn’t been affected as badly as others, thankfully. They’re only up about a buck and a half to 7.99 for 1000 gold, which, compared to other sites, is really good.

This is going to allow us some time to get our feet back under us. Hopefully things will settle down even more so that prices can stabilize and it becomes a matter of one site undercutting another.

Anyway, that’s all folks!

Hope things have been keeping everyone out there nice and busy. I couldn’t help but notice that Blizzard has been moving things along nicely lately. These guys just don’t take days off from what I can tell.

What I’m talking about some of you have probably already been playing with for the last couple of weeks. The 3.3.3 patch went live on March 23rd and has brought a lot of new fun stuff for us to play with.

The major feature that was added doesn’t affect everyone just yet. At least, not until you hit 80. As is expected since they’ve kinda come to the end of what WotLK has to offer, they’re having to plug a few things in to keep people interested until Cataclysm drops. That means more toys for the 80′s out there, including this awesome new feature – Random Battlegrounds. It’s a PvP only sort of gig, but it adds a little extra challenge for anyone who’s gotten bored with the same old, same old fights. The idea is remarkably simple – you queue up for a Random BG, which means you have no time to prepare or any idea what to expect when you get there. It should add a little extra challenge because everyone knows the best strategies for the existing maps, and can usually coordinate before going in. This tosses that in favor of your ability to improvise based on whatever the server gives you.

They also took a step that I wish they had earlier. They increased the range of most buffs (excluding the really good ones like pallys) from 45 yards to 100. this is a major plus for groups that tend to get split up (I’m thinking Leroy Jenkins here).

This is another one of those times where I can see tons of Chinese gold farmers coming out of the woodwork. It seems to happen every single time a patch drops. It’s about ten times worse after an expansion hits the shelves, so I’m grateful for that. It makes it easier to sort them out.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell where these guys are from, so I figure I’ll stick with my old favorites like Toonstorm. It’s just way safer to buy wow gold from those you know during patch time.

Take it easy and stay safe out there. Things will hopefully settle down a little over the next couple of months while the guys at Blizzard are working on Cataclysm.

Hey folks!

I’ve been enjoying the heck out of the 3.1 patch – Ulduar is probaly one of the best additions to the game yet imho, but I wanted to touch on buying wow gold in this blog in a Post 3.1 patch world. I pride myself in keeping up with most of wow gold websites and following prices as best as I can. I have noticed after the 3.1 patch lots of farmers got banned and there was a pretty stiff incline in prices for about a week or two – that’s rectified a little bit now but I’m still hearing reports of several farm outlets getting hit by the banhammer.

Because of this you should be watching out who you buy from. Although its very very very rare that a customer or a person who buys wow gold actually gets banned – the delays from the supplier in getting it to you are what are cause for concern. American wow gold selling companies have FAR less difficulty getting banned and are, in turn, much more likely to be able to get you your order on time. I always make recommendations based on the current climate, so with this in mind, I’m going to suggest Toonstorm. They’re a 100% U.S. based wow gold selling website that we’ve bought from and documented on this website numerous times. Each time has been a good experience and shown us that buying American is the best when it comes to buying WoW gold.

Prices are still low and pretty stable right now, if anything in the market changes rest assured I’ll be on top of it for the next blog. Thanks for reading!

One of the things I’ve done for this blog is track gold prices; and as a casual buyer I’ve tracked gold prices for a long time now.

I can say beyond any doubt they are at some of the LOWEST prices I’ve ever seen. Normally when a new patch comes out (WotLK) prices shoot up pretty good because there is normally higher demand, more people buying mounts, more people repairing or enchanting etc. With the ability to get up to level 80 now, and so mark Death Knights around without a profession I figured there’d be a lot of gold MADE but even more USED, but it actually seems to have balanced out quite well.

I’ve done some price comparisons based on the places we’ve run test purchases through and right now Toonstorm.com is running some 17-20$ 1k wow gold specials. I think that’s a pretty solid price for the service and delivery time on that website. It just so happens I still have a discount code coupon from a story we did on them a while back; use this when making your purchase:

The code is: VIPONLY
This code will give us 5% off any purchase
I’d really suggest if you plan on buying gold in the near future look at buying now; these are some of the lowest prices I’ve seen in some time and I think they will have to come up eventually.

Thanks for reading!
