Closed accounts. Last news

The official web site of WoW made a report on closed accounts. More than 105,000 accounts were closed and over 12 million gold was removed from the game economies in Europe, Korea, and the US in the month of November. This fantastic numbers show to players, that cheating is not a good way to get glory in this game. I suggest you to share the opinion of Blizzard like I do. No doubt that it can be interesting to use cheats, bots and etc. but people who do it make imba in this game and risk to lose their accounts. Be honest to get real satisfaction of the gaming process.

The Gnomish crusade

After demonstration of the preview trailer to the "World Of Warcraft. The Burning Crusade " the international society of gnomes was shocked by non-inclusion of gnomes in this trailer. In response they've made they one trailer with only one race - Gnomes. You can watch this video on WarcraftMovies.com and YouTube

-----------------------------------------------------
This are the most important questions from my point of view. If I have some mistakes or if it is important to add something - let me know by comments.

Main information about addons. "One bag" addon.

Addons help you to feel absolutely satisfacted with the gaming process.

What addons are allowed by Blizzard?
Every ace-based addon is allowed. Ace is a special system for building addons. More on http://www.wowace.com

What are the most interesting and useful addons?
It is difficult to answer this question because of the wide choice. And don't forget - tastes differ. In this blog I'll have a special column devoted to most popular addons. Here you can read about one of them.

OneBag - One bag to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them. I've been using this my first minutes in WoW. Helps in navigation with bags very much. You can also download - OneBank, Onering, Oneview.
All addons - http://www.wowace.com/files/

How to get 200% exp from each monster?

This is one of the most popular questions between new players. It is not a very big problem to get this information and it is not a secret. You need just to open the "Game manual". Here I'll try to mention all information written there in a few words.

If you want to get 200% exp you need to be rested. Only when you feel rested you can see a special rest state marker on your experience bar. There are specials zones where you can gain rest state: inns, six capital cities, wilderness. Rest state can be accumulated when your character is standing in an inn (capital city), logged out from inn (capital city) or logged out from wilderness.
The longer you are offline, the greater you rest. To get maximum rest bonus (1,5 experience bars) you need to be logged out for more than a week. So if you are going to leave game for a long period don't forget about logging out from good places. More actual on high levels.

The Burning Crusade.

It is not a secret that Blizzard is going to produce the expansion - World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. It will be in stores on January 16, 2007.
First question that is interesting to everyone - price.
Retail price:
$39.99 - Simple edition.
$69.99 - special Collector's Edition.
The expansion also requires the original World of Warcraft game. Suggested price for it is $19.99 now.

New features:
- level cap is increased to 70. (As I've heard the experience needed to achieve 60-70 is equal to exp from 1-60 )
- two new races: the Blood elves and the Draenei.
- new territories: continent, cities, dungeons, pvp arena, the battleground.
- new profession: jewelcrafting.
- new unique mounts.
- hundreds of monsters, quests, items.
- many other surprises for WoW gamers.

Preview trailer (49 mb): http://worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/downloads/WOWEx_Blizcon-downloader.exe


Let's make a conclusion. I'm fully confident that expansion will have a great success in spite of high price. Let's wait and see.

Exploring the world. New experience in quests.

I like wow for its wide choice of quests. In this game you get experience not only in killing monsters but in quests too. Many NPC's are situating practically every where and are ready to give you the task of new adventure and after completing it they give you money, exp and different useful items or quest skills. Talk to the first NPC in the newbie location and start your own adventures.
Completing quests may often be a little problem if you can't find the place that is needed. That's why there are many sites or databases in web with the descriptions of different quests. I've chosen thottbot.com (direct link http://www.thottbot.com/?f=q). Using it is very simple. You need just remember the name of quests and fill it in form (in quest window). Then you will be given an info about quests: start and finish places, mobs to kill and their locations, items to get. Be ready to use it often because it can really help you.

First time in WoW

In my opinion it is not very big problem to get a success in online games. But to do it you will need to read many different information forums and sites on topic. Without exploring game mechanics and all game abilities you will have many difficulties. That's why I recommend you not to be lazy and read as more different information as you can.

First time in WoW

1. Choosing the realm.
I prefer PVP realms with high population. Wow has ery good PVP system and it is the good reason to choose PVP realm. Population is very important to. Don't forget about huge size of the World. But you should understand that in overcrowded realm you'll need to queue. This lin can help you http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/realmstatus/

2. Choosing the side. Horde or Alliance.
It is your own choise. I ' ve chosen the same side as my friends because of the PVP realm. Another way to choose the side - comparing with races included.

3. Races.
Horde:
Orcs
Tauren
Trolls
Undead

Alliance:
Humans
Dwarves
Gnomes
Night Elves

Racial Traits are very important in choosing race. Don't choose race only because of apperiance.
The description of all possible races: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/races/index.html

4. Start playing.
After this manipulations you need only to choose your appearance. Than you can enter the World of Warcraft. I wish you good gaming time.

On-line gaming. Why do people spend time in such way?

Every day many people all over the world start to play on-line games. This type of spending time attracts their attention because of the fantastic abilities they can get in imaginary realms. Exploring new worlds, finding friends, trading , killing monsters - this makes gamers to feel absolutely free. Nowadays games become more and more beautiful in graphics and they are getting closer to reality. Can you just imagine web gaming industry of the future? I think it's impossible.
About two years ago I entered the world of Ragnarok online. It was the first on-line game i tried to participate in. Two years - good period to get known well with the mechanics and all secrets of RO. In my opinion there is only one bad side - gaming takes too much time but we should take control of ourselves not to forget about our real life. This Spring I had to leave the game. Russian official server has very bad service (beta test for 1.5 years with bugs and errors). Summer without computer (only icq) was very nice, but i'm fond of various life. That's why I've returned to the online games.
World of Warcraft is my new choice. Incredible game of famous company Blizzard. I think that Blizzard can't make bad games, all games made by them are masterpieces. WoW is not the exclusion.Firstly I got started with the trial version (10 days free game on the official server). It took me 2 hours to make conclusion that I need to buy DVD box with the key. Now I'm very interested in this game and can advise this to everyone.
The aim of this blog - getting known with WoW step by step (with me). I have big experience in this area and that's why it will be not slow process. Here you will see info about addons, new quests, plugins , different FAQ's and other info about WoW. Let's get known with this game together
