Gambling in game can get your account banned.. just fyi EVN.. It's because Gambling can take the game to a Mature rating and Blizzard doesn't want to deal with it.

Be warned they log chats.

I also, came here bringing good tidings:

Go into your wtf folder and edit config.wtf and launcher.wtf:

Change the account from LK to CT in both files then launch wow.. on LIVE, and you can pull in the remaining files for cataclysm, and all you have to do is put in your key when you get your final copy.

It works beautifully!

Or upgrade now via battle.net and let it do it anyway. This way I don't have to even put in the key.

The rules changed 3 or 4 years ago, here are the current rules on gambling. and some blue poster advice on gambling.

Don't spam, don't scam, beware of people you can't trust. Advice that applies to everything in the game also applies to gambling. Who knew?

Loving the new site. Hopefully, I will be able to save some money to get Wrath and Cataclysm, and to get myself ready for the launch. :)

Eh. For those of us with Collector's Editions, we can't do that. :)

That's the price you pay for the ingame pet then isn't it.

Well with the last few months of WoW being pretty boring, I'm really looking forward too Cataclysm coming out. Glad I managed to get the ICC25 meta achievement done last week, a little sad that I can't be bothered to go for the Insane title.

Also a little sad what they did to my Paladin with the latest patch, not sure if it will still be my main in the new expansion, but at least I have another 8 level 80's too choose from.

Yep for me anyway it was only 700Mb more of data.

Cancelled my cata CE pre-order. Nothing in it that justifies the additional 30 bucks that has any interest to me. So I'll just do a digital pre-order.

Actually, you get a ton of stuff..

Which makes the collectors worth it for me. :)

[game_over]

• Buy cheap crap on the AH and sell it high. Right now glyphs are still pretty viable: buy up anything with <5 on the market selling for less than 30g and repost it. "good" glyphs (read every classes 'how to play in 4.0 guide') can be resold for 100g+. Don't waste your time farming for herbs or making glyphs unless it is substantially cheaper than just buying finished glyphs and reposting.
• Selling mounts and titles. An ICC achievements drake will net me around 10k for about 5 hours of work. An Ulduar drake brings down half as much gold but takes about half as long too. Titles (kingslayer typically) will turn up 2k for about 10 minutes of work so I sell those when I can.
• If I'm just chatting in town I might make up some of the old enchants: mongoose, 30 spellpower, crusader, etc. using materials from the AH. If the difference in mats vs average sell price is > 100g then it's worth the effort.
• Gem buying/cutting/relisting worked but the profits are way down from where they used to be. I rely on friends to do the cutting for me now so I almost never bother with it these days. It's probably the easiest market to get into because you can farm justice points for your first 10 gems and after that it's entirely self sustaining
• Selling rare items at a markup. 8 months ago I'd hop in trade chat and try to buy things like Battered hilts or primordial saronite for 6k or 1k respectively from anybody offering, then I'd just take them to the AH and list them for 8k or 1.5k respectively (about 5% under AH price). Profit rolled in pretty fast. Some BOE items (necks, wand, chest from ICC) sold very well but I try to avoid dealing in items I can't use myself.

When I'm actively trying to make gold I'll spend around 30 minutes a day with the auction house and then my normal activities (basically I just raiding) was bringing down about 2k per week from boss drops and stuff I could shard or sell.

Once you've got dual spec, all the heirlooms, and your tier sets for all of your specs there's no cost in the game. I make it a rule to stay above 50k at all times and average around 75-90k on a typical day. Sometimes I'm way up or down from gambling, but over time you'll break even on that. Past 20k there's really no change in 'quality of life' so it's hard to be motivated to earn gold past that point.

I'm not a mount or achievement ###### and the best gear is from raiding so I don't buy anything other than flasks/food/potions (and even those I buy in lots of 100+ so the price is very cheap, ie 10 stacks of fish-feasts for 1k instead of buying them individually for 180g per stack)

Thanks for this post evn. I now have just over 3000 gold so still a long way to go, i've spent some time getting my herbalism and mining professions up to where they should be but it's a long task. I need 6100g for artisan flying and then cold weather flying.. Whats the deal with the Glyphs? apart from buying a coupe of using them i dont know much about them. And also where would be a good guide you mentioned? i'm a human warrior.

definitely a bit meh, there should be more in-game stuff with the collectors edition. I'd take the mousepad but the rest wouldnt get taken out of their packet. I'm just going to buy the standard box on release day. Thought about digital pre sale but i have the other 3 boxes.

What more do you want?!

[Minifig]

OMFG.

If you want to know what happens when Deathwing torches a zone..

.

I am laughing my *** off, and I am so happy to know that the Worgen are going to be able get the feat of strength.

Contains A LOT of swearing though.. so be warned.

[Shaun N.]

more obviously lol the extra price doesn't seem to qualify for the "extra's" you do get

[game_over]

What more do you want?!

some exclusive in game gear maybe? - instead of a pet i'll have running about with me for 10 mins before i get bored of it being in the way.

Just a thought...

The Spectral Horse mount would be a no no :p I'm thinking along the same lines though

Special edition should come with a Horse Mount (Similar to The Spectral Steed, Invincible in the sense its it a land/flying mount) but the skin is the same skin as Deathwing and it breathes fire (not like the Warlock Mounts!)

Some sort of in game robe/clothing item that does not affect combat or stats?

Many collectors editions on consoles tend to have "extra" in game content or they are bundled with themes etc. Bit of extra Exclusive in game stuff would not hurt at all. The pet and the feat of strength is a gimmick.

On a side note, do you think Blizz can or will ever do anyhting about the random ques? I have 5 lvl 80;s, this rogue will make 6, but the wait times for the randoms is stupid long:

They're turning on cross-battlegroup queues currently.

Haha, I forgot I had my phone authenticator linked with my account and reset my phone. Now I'm calling for them to remove it and they just opened 7:00 AM and there is already a 42 minutes time wait. Impressive. :p

Those guys need to go out a little bit more... it's just fire in a game, it's not that amazing. lol

British broadcaster and producer. I make videos and podcasts about videogames because it's hip to do so. I am not funny in any way.

I believe he gets paid to do so.

All the information you need is 'right there' in the screen shot: there are no problems with queue times if you're a tank or healer.

If you insist on playing as a DPS you're going to wait for your chance to play with people doing the more difficult to fill rolls or

you're going to have to make some friends.
