Well, it seems that Blizzard has finally made their announcement. I thought for sure that they’d wait until Blizzcon to drop the release date for Cataclysm. I’m really not sure just how their marketing department works. Usually, if a company hosts its own con, they use it as a platform for some serious chest thumping. Not Blizzard, though. I’m sure there will be news and all sorts of fun stuff (this just in: Blizzard has tapped Tenacious D for a concert at Blizzcon. Get your Jack Black goodness on 10/22 and 10/23), but the news may be a little on the skimpy side. I figure they won’t want to steal the thunder from Diablo 3. Here’s hoping for big news on that front! Nothing like a free almost-MMO to bide your time with.

They know what they’re doing, I guess. After all, Blizzard isn’t in the habit of failing. And if they don’t want to overhype the thing, they won’t do it. It’s not like it’s hurt them in the past.

Anyway, it looks like we get Apocalipsized… Apocalipticated…. Apocalipsim… never mind. Cataclysm is coming out on December 7th, so mark your calendars and synchronize your watches. That’s when we get the update and the world gets pulverized.

With that in mind, I think it’s time that we all get out there and buy wow gold You’ll really want to be sure they aren’t including some uber gold buying death ray with the expansion, so you’ll be best to stock up now just in case. Also, even if the code doesn’t specifically prevent it, you know the GMs will be on high alert. They’ll be monitoring things pretty closely in order to make sure there are no exploits or cheating going on, so you know they’ll have eyes out for gold buying too.

Thankfully prices are holding steady right now. With all the anticipation I figured it would start getting ugly but it appears we have a little time before we need to start worrying. Toonstorm is holding steady at $19.48 for 5000 gold, which beats the overall average I’ve found. Plus, it’s delivery in under 30 minutes which is really hard to beat.

Just keep an eye on the prices at your favorite sites. I will be, that’s for sure. I may even make a buy next time. I have some buffing to do and I just don’t want to wait.

Hey everybody! Looks like the good folks at Blizzard weren’t quite done giving us awesome stuff with the last patch. Now the final portions of the Icecrown Citadel have been added and the whole thing looks amazingly epic!

With all of the new areas that have been opened up by this most recent patch everyone out there and their dogs are looking to get the best gear available so they can make the trip to drop the Lich King. Getting near him is tough enough, though. Nothing like another dragon to spice things up in Azeroth, right?

Anyway, I was more than a little worried that prices would go completely out of control with the two major patches back to back like they were. The GMs are watching like hawks for folks like us who prefer to not waste our time and money grinding gold their way. That makes everybody who delivers and farms the gold jumpier (is that a word? If not it is now) than they usually are. And prices did go up most places, but not as bad as I was worried about. The best was at Toonstorm. They really tried to avoid making our lives miserable when Blizzard was making us so happy.

Prices there are really good right now, so I’d advise everyone to go make a buy if you’ve been planning on it. Fifteen bucks is all it will take to get you 2000 gold, which is a nice little supplement. Of course, it gets to be a better deal the more you buy, so don’t limit yourself if you don’t feel the need. And one thing that I’ve always liked about them is that I’ve never had to worry about safety. Between the money-back guarantee and the great people that they use, every buy is easy and safer than any I’ve ever been able to find anywhere else.

Which is why I’m going to sign off a little early this time around. My guild is planning an IC run in about an hour and I want to have plenty of time to get my buy in before I have to meet them.

Take it easy!
