sell wow golApparently Im Not Allowed to Sell My Children for Online Gaming Money Either

Posted on July 30, 2011 by admin

The internet is abuzz with the story of a Chinese couple thats gotten in trouble for selling their three children for money to spend on online games. As it turns out, thats not the sort of thing people take kindly to no matter where you live.

sell wow golApparently Im Not Allowed to Sell My Children for Online Gaming Money Either,According to Sanxiang City News, young couple Li Lin and Li Juan met at an internet cafe in China back in 2007 and soon realized that they had found the one person theyd briefly stop playing long enough to copulate with. Said copulation led to a bouncing baby boy the next year,Taobao Agent. followed by a baby girl in 2009.

As Ive recently discovered, its hard to balance gaming with children Juicy Couture, so the couple sold their daughter for the equivalent of about $500. They soon realized that a convenient way to score a little more gaming time could also be a lucrative business, so they sold their son as well,Buy WOW Gold. scoring about $4,600 for the child (male children are at a premium in the country). Then they had another son, and sold himsell wow gold online for about the same.

The pattern might have continued if not for Li Lins mother, who turned the couple into the authorities after realizing her son and his girlfriend were selling off her grandchildren for gaming cash.

I know what youre thinking. Hey Fahey, didnt your partner just have a couple of babies? Dont you have an extra?

Emily gets really angry when I call one of the babies Extra. Almost as mad as she gets when I suggest selling one so I can get gold to learn cold weather riding in World of Warcraft, or print out a sign and borrow one of the babies to act as a sales model. Apparently they are both our sons and we love them equally, no matter how much one of them spits up on me on purpose. Dont tell me its not on purpose. I see the look in his eye.

On top of that, its not exactly a sellers market. You try shouting WTS NEWBORN BABY BOY on the WoW trade channel and see what sort of reaction you get. Theyre downright rude about it.

So no, selling your children for in-game gold is not a good idea. The mere suggestion makes people very angry. The baby isnt too happy about it either.

I suppose Ill just keep them both. Seems a waste to break up a perfectly good set anyway. Theyre nice babies thatll one day grow up into fine young men that will make me proud to be a parent.

Or Ill just teach them how to rm gold.

sell wow golGold Capped: Buy low, sell long

Posted on July 30, 2011 by admin

Every week, WoW Insider brings youGold Capped, in which BasilEuripides Berntsen aims to show you how to make money on the auction house.Email Basil with your questions, comments, or hate mail!

sell wow golGold Capped: Buy low, sell long,Ive often downplayed the buy low, sell high aspect of the money- game, instead focusing on using trade skills to create value and profits. There is, however, a lot to be said for brokerage. It can be much riskier but has a very good profit per hour when you win your bets. Unlike a game of cards, though, the odds are not stacked against you.

Theres one key ct that can stack the odds of brokerage in your vor: People charge less for items in a trade window than others would pay on the auction house. The best strategy to take advantage of this is to buy low and sell long. sell wow gold onlineWhy long instead of high? They actually amount to the same thing, but the key here is that instead of immediately trying to find some buyer who will put more money into a trade window than you, you list the product on the auction house.

The auction house is the great differentiator between people looking to make a quick sale and those willing to wait for a high margin. If you see someone selling something in trade chat, chances are that no matter how much theyre asking for, theyre expecting a low-ball offer and are willing to sell somewhere in the middle. So what is it about the AH that makes stuff sell for more?

More people will see an auction than a trade ad wow power leveling, which means youre exposed to a lot more potential buyers. The longer your auction stays up, the more people its seen by. Trade ads suffer from a long list of ctors that make them less likely to reach your intended audience, including the ct that buyers have to be in a city reading trade chat exactly when you happen to be advertising your item.

Auctions suffer from the ct that people have to search for them to see them, but you can add a bit of trade barking about the existence of your auction if you want to increase the number of people seeing your auction.

The more people who see your auction, the more likely one of them is to buy it, assuming the price is reasonable in the eye of the buyer. This means:

Just so long as youre within a price range thats reasonable according to the above criteria, you can set whatever profit margin you want. The more you charge, the longer it will take to sell.

Ive been upwards of 30% profit flipping thequest reward items from theShadowmourne quests. Its not quick money, but I am willing to keep my money tied up for months, so my exposure to potential buyers is much higher. Ive bought at a good discount from someone in trade willing to let a higher price pass by in order to get his money immediately, and I am waiting out the market for the right people to search my auctions and decide to splurge.

Buying off trade and selling in the AH is a tactic that works for a lot of types of items, especially things with low and fixed supply. Things that arent easily rmable, specifically — for example, the Shadowmourne vanity items,Books of Glyph Mastery, andmats for BOA enchants from old content. These items all retain their demand well over time, and the more time you spend listing an auction, the higher you can sell it for.

What about items with an expiration date? Trying to sellvalor point bracers for too much, for example, can be like playing hot potato with a hand grenade. Hold them too long (for whatever reason) and youll lose. The reason is that the number of people willing to pay, for example, 20k for bracers the first week is quite low, and they probably all get them from the first few VP rmers. Every week that passes leads to more people willing to sell their VP, which means that the prices plummet sharply.

If you were holding onto a pair of bracers from week 1 of a new patch, hoping for that extra 2000g profit, you can instead end up costing yourself 2000g or more by not finding a buyer in time for the VP cap reset every Tuesday.

So, how can you make money with time bomb goods? The main method is to limit your exposure to the market to items where you can get an extra good deal on the buy side, and simply sell for a normal price and move it quickly. Also, if the item is rare, try to bark in trade about it. Dont spam, as youll annoy people who otherwise might have considered buying, but linking your item and its price in trade can be a good way to increase the number of people checking it out. Ill often offer a 5% discount to people who give me time to cancel the auction and trade it to them manually, saving the AH cut.

If the deadline for the next batch of items comes up and youre worried that the price will go below what you paid for it, consider a fire sale and offer it at or near what you paid for it. Just so long as you profit from more time bomb flips than you lose, youll end up ahead.

months is fine actually. you can sell as long as you have patience for it. just keep in mind with every investment that your liquid asset (cash) is being frozen for an indeterminate amount of time. You still have an asset,polo ralph lauren outlet. and it holds its value, its just not readily spendable. Invest heavily in good deals that hold that value, dont invest in anything that depreciates rapidly.

Jack, gewalt, and Revynn have the best answer for you. The longer youre willing to wait, the more likely you are to sell something at a higher price. Still, if theres always someone selling cheaper than you, no amount of time will help.

I craft the alliance enchanting pets (lamp) and trade them 1:1 in horde /2 for the lanterns, then sell the lanterns on the alliance AH. Its a very nice profit considering the mats cost me nothing nowadays from running heroics, but i only sell one every week or two, so i dont do a ton at a time. 5 will usually last me 2 months. Its a long term strategy, not steady income though.

Also buying pyrite ore whenever it drops below 5g ea and hoarding tokens on my JC. Well see how that works out in a patch or two…

A while back I had an interesting event similar to what youre discussing in this article.

Im on an extremely low-pop server and have relatively low competition on the cut and uncut gem market, other than a single other player. We competed quite strongly, driving the prices down to near our profit margins but never to the point of underselling our stock. We also competed for the raw materials we used, waiting for stock to come available at a low price and seeing who could ninja it before the other.

Needless to say, it was quite fun and occasionally infuriating.

About a month back, however, my competitor messaged me in-game and told me that he was leaving the server for greener pastures elsewhere, and offered to sell me his entire stock of gems before he left. My funds at the time were pretty low, only 15K gold, and he was getting offers of more than 20K from others trying to buy into the market.

We dickered for about an hour over prices and amounts and such, until I got extremely tired of the whole process and suggested an alternative.

I would give him my 15K gold as seed money (i was anticipating plenty more incoming from the auctions I had posted at the time) on the proviso that he take his entire supply of gems with him to his new server.

Obviously, he agreed to these terms, and offered to RealId each other so we could keep in contact when he changed servers.

Ive had people tell me that this was a foolish move, but I believe my logic and my subsequent success to be unassailable.

In taking his gems and raw mats with him when he switched servers, he left a sizeable hole in the market, a hole I was ready and able to fill with my extensive stock of both gems and ore, as a result prices on all gems rose by about 40%, increasing my profits around 110% across the board. With my main competition gone, Ive been vigilant in my control of the ore market, and maintained a deathgrip on the gem market as a whole. Profits have never been higher. Following my 15K outlay, Ive made more than 80K actual profit in just under a month.

I spend about 8k every single day buying ore. I cant even imagine just how low pop your server is if 15k in assets is considered a big deal.

I think that auctioneers tend to personalize the AH too much. Youre not competing with a competitor, youre competing with the hole in the market they work in. At best, you bought yourself as much time as it takes for someone else to fill the hole. I dont bother tracking my competitors, I track supply and demand, and follow the gaps.

I certainly like talking shop with other auctioneers, but never get upset when a friend undercuts me. I dont see their names when I post my stock either ;)

I dominate the glyph market my server which is a low pop, so I know where you are coming from. I think Basil has a valid point to some extent. You definitely want to be as fluid as you can but crafting addons like TSM basically do that for you in a market like cut gems and glyphs. I use a 0 sum inventory system which means I craft the same amount of items as my post cap. I craft glyphs about four times a week but I craft ink once a week. I have enough ink on hand for the entire week but since I dont stockpile glyphs Im only crafting the ones that sell. In this way I am filling gaps.

The point where I think Basil is wrong is not knowing your competitors. On a high pop server it is probably impossible to know all your competition but on a low pop server where there are only 2-3 major players it makes sense to know your competition.

Once again on my low pop server there are 3 people that are somewhat serious glyph posters. They dont post all of the glyphs but they all post daily. All people have play schedules and humans are creatures of habit. If you dont believe me go to the undermine journal and look yourself up. Look at the heat map and you will find a pattern in your AH activity. This is what you should be doing to your competition. My main completion posts at 9pm every night so I post at 9:30. I have a person that posts at 7 am but I have found that even if I post right after that person I dont get many sales until 4:00 so I dont bother re-posting in the morning. My 3rd competition posts at 11:00 am so if I am home I will post after 11:00 but usually I just wait until I get home from work.

The point is I know when my competition posts and i know when the majority of purchasing is going on. I make sure my items are the lowest when it matters.

My own recent example of buy low/sell long happened with Truegold.

Well before 4.2 I stated to use my transmute CD every day on truegold amassing around 3 stacks before 4.2.

When the patch hit Truegold didnt go up as people were thinking and a lot of people started to dump their stacks, prices went from 500g down to around 325g on my server.

Here I started buying up stacks of the stuff at around this price and kept until the first Blacksmiths unlocked the new weapons.

In the first 2 days after this I have sold out my stocks at 650g+ in the region of 150k in profit.

My only wish is I had bought more!!

I agree.

on zuljin ive made nearly 1,000,000 gold. as a recent transfer 7 months ago. Only flipping stuff I could craft from my alts, and that I bought off of trade… when I could and tards werent advertising prices they didnt intend to offer things at.

Without deceptive practices, and just being lazy on the AH. a mil.

trade channel, and moreso the tools that think undercutting for more than a copper is a good idea. ;)

Undercutting by more than a copper is what turns the competition from who can be logged in the most to who has the best cost. I undercut as much as I need to to make my sale in the timeframe Ive targeted.

A one-copper undercut merely hands the market over to the other guy after he cancels and relists. Ill start with a small undercut white polo shirts, but my undercut gets larger with each round. Camping my auctions means the price drops like a rock. A few days or weeks with the market sitting down at vendor prices will usually get even the cockiest goblin to back off.

Its called learning to share.

I have never, and will never buy an item that is only 1c less than another. I will always buy the one that is 1c more. why? because a 1c undercut is an insult.

While I do keep an eye on trade sales, I get most of my buy lows from the AH itself. I have my snatch list set to most trade goods (the leathers, dusts, essences, cloths, etc.) at ~50% the normal price (the100% price according to auctioneer). I get a consistent supply of goods that I can repost at the higher price. Doing this gives me a steady income and keeps the prices stable.

Even better, this helps me take advantage of extreme price drops (typically caused by bots). This lets me stock up on various products and sell them back over time.

Please continue doing this and encourage others to as well. You provide a valuable service to the community by keeping commodities available in times of scarcity for those willing to pay the price.

This is an amazing article. In addition to to vanity items, try it with engineering materials if youre an engineer. (actually, very cheap raw materials works well, buy in bulk sell at a premium) The materials for the pets and mounts, while irly cheap, are not worth rming and certainly not available in reasonable quantities. Buy buying very cheap materials when theyre available, even if you dont need them yet, youll be able to sell engineering crafts when the others have run out of their stock, and sell them for big money.

Hell, if it ils, you can always resell the materials for more than what you bought them for. I recently purchased 600 fel iron ore for 16g/stack. If I dont use it all in flying machines, I can just post it for 80g/stack in smaller chunks so I dont flood the market.

Well said, Quickshiv, and thanks for the tip about using the Undermine Journal to find the posting habits of your competition, the thought hadnt occurred to me.

In the past I just kept track of how many sales I would get posting at particular times and used that to find a sweet spot.

buy wow gold15 Minutes of Fame: Holding st to Azeroth through the journey of Alzheimers

Posted on July 30, 2011 by admin

From Hollywood celebrities to the guy next door, millions of people have made World of Warcraft a part of their lives. How do you play WoW? Were giving each approach its own15 Minutes of Fame.

buy wow gold15 Minutes of Fame: Holding st to Azeroth through the journey of Alzheimers,Bill Craig is doing it right. The 61-year-old WoW player has suffered fromearly-onset Alzheimers disease for half a dozen years now, winding his way through Azeroth for about half that time. Hesridden a bicycle all the way from Carrollton, Texas, to Carrollton, Georgia, to raise money and awareness for animal welre — not once but twice. Hes a Vietnam vet. He serves as an advocate with theAlzheimers Association,5 finger shoes. having recently returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., with his wife to meet with legislators about bills impacting Alzheimers. Bills contributions and commitment to his community and country are impressive for any seasoned professional, let alone someone living with a disease that monkeywrenches a persons thinking, memory and behavior.

I know Bills doing it right because I live under the baleful gaze of Alzheimers, too. My mother passed away two years ago after a particularly cruel struggle with the disease. She began batting aside its first tendrils while caring for my grandmother, also stripped bare by Alzheimers. My ther wanders through a related type of dementia — perversely, with all the sets of symptoms my mother never developed. (Ding! We hit the jackpot, I guess.) In my work, Ive written about Alzheimers and the incredibleburdens it places on milies, parents with young children who now also care for their own parents over the painfully protracted years it takes life to trickle away. Alzheimers is inextricably part of my life, too.

So none of that makes me special — Alzheimers grip on milies is all too common — but it does mean I can say one thing with certainty: Bill Craig is doing it right. His view of Azeroth, however, is very different from yours or mine.

Main character Wolkenlaufre

Guild Knights Who Say Ja

Realm Alexstrasza (US)

15 Minutes of Fame: Bill, help our readers, if you would, understand a little more aboutearly-onset Alzheimers disease. What were the first signs you noticed that something might be wrong?

Bill Craig: I first began noticing serious problems in my work as a respiratory therapist in the ER of the hospital where I was employed, although I think the problem began way before that. I have now been unable to work for three years and am considered disabled.

An example of the little things that went on about 6 years ago: I lived alone in an apartment and was looking for a particular china plate, which belonged to a set I had inherited from my mother. Couldnt find it and got panicky. I remembered that a couple of days before that, the buildings repair guy was in the apartment doing some work while I was gone, so when I couldnt find the plate, I called the office and accused him of having stolen it.

I had put it in the microwave.

Of course, I very quickly went in person and apologized profusely.

[I began to notice] misplacing things, throwing money into the trash when Id have the bills in one hand and the trash in the other.

Major things: It was part of my job to assist in CPR and put the patient on the ventilator if needed. One night, we had just revived someone and I got the vent, turned it on, and nothing happened. It didnt cycle and kept alarming. I could NOT figure out what was wrong, and then one of the nurses held up the power cord and asked me, Does this look miliar to you, Bill? It wasnt plugged in.

I also drew arterial blood to be analyzed in order to set the parameters on the machine to best assist the patient. One night I did that, ran the blood, got the values printed out, and suddenly blanked out. I didnt know how to set the machine and had to call my boss at home.

It was then I began seeing a neurologist. This was late in 2007.

As things got worse with my short-term memory, I made up my mind to leave my profession before I hurt or killed one of my patients. It wasnt an easy decision to make, and I miss taking care of my patients very much. We live in a small Mayberry kind of town, and my patients knew me when theyd see me in town and would ask what happened to me. I just tell them I took an early retirement.

How old are you now?

I am 61 now.

What symptoms and challenges do you have to work with on a daily basis now?

I do my daily hygiene by a list and not going from one thing to another, as I used to be able to do; I dont remember what day it is (my wife keeps track of appointments), and because I have a tendency to tune out, I can no longer drive. This means I am pretty much landlocked and puts a burden on my wife (who already is a caregiver to an elderly brother and sister), so we sit down on a regular basis and discuss whats needed in the way of toiletries barefoot running shoes, appointments, and other important dates. I try very hard not to be any trouble to her, as she also still works part-time as a respiratory therapist.

My daily chores include vacuuming, washing clothes, the bed, and doing the dishes as well as feeding the cat and taking care of his litter. Anything I can do to make her life easier here at home, I do, and for that I get to play WoW sometimes until the wee hours of the morning!

How long have you played World of Warcraft? Did you play MMOs or other video games before your diagnosis?

I have played WoW for 3+ years. Before I was diagnosed, the video games I played were mostly casino games. I have since picked up Fable and You Dont Know Jack. I play Fable mostly on Tuesdays when Blizzard does updates/patches.

So do you look at WoW as part of your cognitive therapy, an enjoyable pastime, or some mixture of both?

Warcraft helps me with my cognitive functions in that it makes me have to remember what weapons/abilities Ill need to defeat which monster. There are so many aspects of the game to think about that it keeps me busy the entire time Im online, whether it be fighting or working on my profession or ancillary skills. The repetition helps a lot when I do dailies, and I also enjoy doing business in the auction house. There, I usually check what a particular item is bringing in and offer mine just a bit below that. I rm a lot of Frostweave Cloth, Borean and Savage Leather, and I think I have some regular customers.

How does Alzheimers affect your playstyle?

There are some things that are just too tough for me to figure out, and I stay away from them if I can. I find the tanking technique very hard to understand. In addition, I dont bind my keys. Its just too hard for me to remember which key does which action, so I use the mouse and the cursor and am comfortable with that. There have been Post-Its all over my screen, but I have been able to remove most of them, as I have learned through repetition how to do various things.

When I first began playing, any time Id get into combat, Id just click on any ability with no rhyme or reason. My friend Megan has been a huge help to me repeatedly by telling me which buttons to click and when. She also makes recommendations for my talents, which is another part of the game I dont understand so well …

I do get very frustrated with myself because Wolkie is supposed to be a tank, but I just dont understand the strategy of being one, so I do only DPS under those circumstances. Even then, however, I mess up, get upset with myself, apologize and leave. Soloing is much better for me.

Are there any parts of the game that you simply find too complex or confusing?

One thing I had (and still do have) difficulties with is being careful to buy the right armor/weaponry. Early on, I was buying things for Wolkie that helped his intellect when I should have been buying for strength, stamina, and hit ratings. It was at those times that some very kind players took me under their wing and helped me get some decent gear. I will always remember this, and I am very grateful. I also never miss a chance to pay it forward when I can.

I love the game and enjoy immersing myself in Azeroth, and for the amount of time I am online, that is where I live. Sometimes Silka (my gryph and land mount) and I just fly/ride around and enjoy the pretty scenery. I have about eight alts, and their payday from Wolkie is every Friday when I send them 25 gold from what Ive earned on quests, vendor sales Polo shirts for men, and auctions. I try to play each one at least once a week, but when I do, I have to refer to notes to remember what abilities they may have that are different from Wolkies.

What about day-to-day variations in what you feel able to do?

With the Alzheimers, I have good and bad days, and when theyre bad, I notice it when my mind wanders and I get killed or when I sometimes forget where I am and what Im supposed to be doing. At those times, I try to play one of the alts, do some easy dailies, or make sure theres plenty of health consumables in my bags. One of the reasons I enjoy the game so much is because I dont put any pressure on myself.

There have been a couple of times when Ive been killed that I absolutely could not find my corpse. That usually happens on a sluggish Alzheimers day. I just pay my penalty, get sick, and get fixed. I also have trouble in dark places such as Ironforge or the Deadmines. I get disoriented there very easily.

Tell us about your guild!

I formed this guild mainly to help new players get started with a little gold and some consumables for their heabuy wow gold fastlth, but now it is basically just me. This is fine with me, because I dont think I would be able to group with anyone very much beyond level 10, even though Wolkie is an 85. I just dont remember all the quests/dungeons that well. I could take them through the Stockades, but not Deadmines. I have tried and only embarrassed myself. This is the main reason I stay solo, even though it is just me in the guild.

That is not to say I havent had help from time to time. Someone might have invited me to join their guild and I would tell them I dont function well in raids/dungeons,polo ralph lauren outlet. and if they ask why, then I explain. It is mostly the kids who dont believe me — the adults usually engage me in conversation because they themselves may have a mily member with the disease.

I want only to help others the way people have helped me. Unfortunately, it isnt always easy to tell if it really is a new player or if someones just rolled a new alt. I had hoped to populate the guild with players better than myself, make them officers with privileges and all of us together pitch in to help the newer players.

What else do you enjoy doing when youre not playing WoW?

I was an English major with journalism minor in college, so I enjoy writing and am currently doing research on my vorite composer, Beethoven, and speculate about the ct that he himself may have had Alzheimers-related dementia. Also, theres my blog,Where To, Bud?, which is a conglomeration of Alzheimers cts, news, and a personal diary of sorts. I try to keep a sense of humor about whats going on with me, so that blog is very lighthearted as well as (I hope) informative.

I am a musician (primarily drums) and like to sit and play for my own enjoyment. I am teaching myself bass and keyboard and intend to spend at least one hour a day with each instrument.

I used to skydive before I was diagnosed, and I still could, provided I jumped tandem every time. But since Ive been diagnosed, no one wants to take me up because they dont want to take the risk I might forget something important up there!

I am involved in animal welre advocacy and last Septemberrode my bicycle from Carrollton, Texas,wow power leveling. back here to Carrollton, Georgia, to call attention to the need for pet spaying, neutering and adopting as well as the establishment of a no-kill nation. I ride my Trek 1000 bike on the Silver Comet Trail, which is an abandoned railroad track that has been paved and runs through Georgia and into Alabama.

Your energy is incredible! And youre quite active in Alzheimers education and advocacy, isnt that right?

I am also anAlzheimers Association advocate, which means I am in contact with my legislators sure they know all the latest developments, medicines, and cts so theyre educated and can draft sound legislation that will benefit Alzheimers patients as well as caregivers.

[My wife and I recently traveled to Washington, D.C., where we] visited with Georgia legislators, both House and Senate, to ask them for their support of House Bill HR 5926, the HOPE for Alzheimers Act (HOPE stands for Health Outcomes Planning and Education), the Alzheimers Breakthrough Act, and the National Alzheimers Project Act. This advocacy conference was attended by advocates from every state in the union and lasted three days. My wife Dondra and I are active year-round and are in touch with the legislators from our district regularly.

Kudos to both Bill and his wife on their advocacy for Alzheimers patients and research and to Bill for his selfless volunteerism and optimism. Learn more about Alzheimers disease at theAlzheimers Association, read about Bills most recent cross-country bike ride for animals atCarrollton to Carrollton Ride To Care, and follow Bills journey with Alzheimers at his personal blog,Where To, Bud?

I never thought of playing WoW like that! — and neither did we, until we talked with these players, from Aron Nog Eisenberg to anOlympic medalist and aquadriplegic raider. Know someone else we should feature? Emaillisa@wowinsider.com.

There are actually people who dont believe Bill when he tells them he has Alzheimers?

Otherwise, this was a very inspiring story!

I think some people (as he mentions, kids) might not know exactly what it is, particularly if they dont know anyone with it. Many of my relatives have had Alzheimers, so I was aware of the name and the general idea of what it was from a irly young age, but most of my friends (Im in my 20s) dont know what it is.

I know some kids like my little bro would see it as some manner of excuse for not playing at his level; this kind of intolerance always annoys me.

The younger set tend to view things in absolutes, so it wouldnt be an uncommon thing for them to equate a genuine limitation to an excuse. The reasoning goes something like, Good playerss do X, therefore anyone who does not do X is not a good player. Unfortunately, thats also where the reasoning stops.

Great job, Bill!! I am amazed at your energy level!! I, also, have memory problems so keybinding is out for me as well. I have a physical disability so I find the freedom to run and jump and be graceful is what I love about Azeroth. I have a one-person guild, as well. We have a lot in common!!

Thanks for sharing, Lisa!!

To throw an idea out for keybinding that helps recollection instead of harming…. Maybe a stacked-buttons bartender layout and a Nostromo would be viable? When the button layout and on-screen layout match up, it might be an aid instead of additional cognitive burden…

Well… my first problem is… I have no idea what you just said… I use Bartender to give me more buttons and to put them closer to where i can see them but I have no idea what Nostromo is other than that doomed spaceship from Alien…

I had to move my minimap to the bottom left side of my screen because with my wide-sceen monitor, it was too r away for me to see in the deult position.

Sadly, also I have always had trouble remember which is right and left on anything. I usually have to point out directions because of that since childhood. I was always the other left.

@Lady — Basically hes suggesting that you use addons to arrange your icons so that they mirror their keybindings so what you see on the screen is literally a map of your keys, e.g. you bind Eviscerate to the 2 key and Envenom to the W key, and then put the Eviscerate icon above the Envenom icon (can you tell which class I play? =P) on your action bar. I personally use the standard UI, but have strict rules I adhere to for keybinding (e.g. primary abilities are 2-5, interrupts are bound to the dash, movement enahancing cooldowns are shift-3) that allow me to rely on habit and muscle memory rather than recollection and conscious thought…otherwise things go very badly, very quickly. =P

More important than your action bars, tho, are the people you associate with in game.. It took me a while, but I managed to ll in with a guild who are just as much about enjoying each others company as downing bosses, and spend most of my time with a great tank who, while he doesnt necessarily understand WHY I do the things I do, is willing to adapt to it… I hope both you and Bill have found a few of those people on your servers! It really does make all the difference… =)

You could get it a bit cheaper on Amazon, but heres the official link with descriptions of what it can do:

Basically, you can program any of the keys on this thing to any action in the game that you want. And then, as Jonathan suggested, you could use Bartender to lay out your abilities as you have them mapped on the Nostromo.

This was not easy to find, but it was a UI of the week that illustrates what everyone is talking about.

After reading this, Im going to roll a toon on your server and ask for a guild invite. I might not lvl a toon or anything too serious, but Ill jump on from time to time and offer whatever help and company I can. You dont gotta be alone in Azeroth. Keep going strong Wolkie.

What an amazing person– Im so glad you featured him! I loved reading about how playing WoW keeps cognitive abilities sharper. My late grandmother had the disease and I wish she had been able to take on a hobby like this to keep her mind active.

I have 2 living Grandmothers with different, but Alzheimers related, dementias. I dont think WoW would have been either of their 1st choices for an engaging cognitive activity, but the sentiment still holds. Its a sad, slow, inevitable (for now) slide, but I truly think it could have been better for both of them, had they something to keep the proverbial juices flowing.

Great article!

There are lots of really good people playing this amazing game. The ability to play so many ways, at different skill levels is what makes this game endure.

Sometimes Im in the mood to PVP, run dungeons, quest or craft and sometimes its just nice to fish!

Grats Bill and Well done. You are an inspiration to all of us.

I Salute you, sir, for your courage and strength.

wow gold cheGold Capped: Cashing in on the Molten Front

Posted on July 30, 2011 by admin

Every week, WoW Insider brings you , in which and Basil Berntsen aim to show you how to make money on the auction house. Feed Foxs ego by or tweeting him at .

wow gold cheGold Capped: Cashing in on the Molten Front,If youll allow me a moment to editorialize, Im pretty damn sick of the Molten Front. This new questing area for level 85s, released with patch 4.2, is the grind-iest damn place I ever had the misfortune to grind lately.

Basically, how it works is this: First, you clear a solid chunk of the regular Mount Hyjal quests that have been available since Cataclysms launch. This opens up a small new quest hub, the Sanctuary of Malorne, with a couple of non-repeatable quests and a few dailies. Grind those dailies long enough, and youll get access to a new daily quest hub inside the Firelands. Grind those dailies (and the old ones), and in another week or so, youll gain access to another set of dailies. Keep grinding, and … yes, you guessed it, another set of dailies becomes available.

Eventually, after about 40 consecutive days of grinding dailies in the Molten Front, youll gain access to your choice of three vendors: one with tailoring and leatherworking patterns, and one with blacksmithing plans and engineering schematics. The stuff you can make from the patterns, plans, and schematic are neat — 36-slot profession bags and some epic i365 gear.

Theres an awful lot of grind-y garbage keeping most players from these rewards. But for those of us who play the auction house Juicy Couture, thats a good thing — players are always willing to pay a premium to avoid a long, boring grind.

Of course, just because all these patterns, plans, and schematics are blocked behind a month and a half of questing doesnt mean that all of them are worth your while at the moment. Lets take a look at all the craftables available for 525 professionals willing to grind their way through the Molten Front, and see whats profitable right now and what isnt.

Theres only one pattern available for tailors in the Molten Front:Pattern: Luxurious Silk Gem Bag. Its sold byAyla Shadowstorm, but only after youve completed theFilling the Moonwell quest.

Prior to patch 4.2, the idea of a 36-slot gem bag would have had jewelcrafters lling over themselves. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your choice of professions), patch 4.2 brought the advent of stackable gems. As a result, theseLuxurious Silk Gem Bags can be a bit of a gamble for sellers. Prices have dropped sharply since last week on pretty much every server, with some sellers stuck with a large stock they cant easily sell. Case in point: my own server, Proudmoore (US).

From a 20,000 gold fishing expedition to the current price of 1,350 gold, its been a hell of a downhill ride this past week. With each Luxurious Silk Gem Bag requiring threeDreamcloth, sellers are only getting a return of 450 gold per Dreamcloth on this bag. By comparison, on the same server, you can sellPowerful Enchanted Spellthwow gold cheap pricesread to get a return of 500 gold per Dreamcloth, without having to spend a month and a half grinding. (And Spellthread sells quicker, to boot.)

Ayla Shadowstorm sells two leatherworking patterns; again, youll need to complete the Filling the Moonwell quest to access them. The first of the two isPattern: Royal Scribes Satchel, which teaches you how to craft a 36-slot inscription bag; the second isPattern: Triple-Reinforced Mining Bag, which teaches you to make a 36-slot mining bag.

Again, as with the 36-slot gem bag, these two are server-to-server crapshoots, with prices dependent on how flooded your market is. On my server, the Royal Scribes Satchel actually sells for less than the cost of its mats. That may not be the case on your own server, of course, but be sure to do all your homework. It sucks to waste 125 Marks of the World Tree on a set of patterns that dont even turn you a profit.

All the engineering schematics can be bought fromDamek Bloombeard, who is hiding out inside that little cave in the quest-giving area of the Molten Front. Each will set you back 300g, though the price is subject to aThorium Brotherhood ction discount. To buy anything,Polo Shirts for Men. though, youll need to complete the questAdditional Armaments first.

Schematic: Extreme-Impact Hole Puncher will teach you how to build a i365 gun with agility that will have hunters drooling (ideally, anyway).

Cost/profit forecast As of July 24, Extreme-Impact Hole Punchers are available on some servers for as little as 5,500g and as much as 30,000g. Most prices seem to be in the ~10,000g range. Before you go one, though, do a quick calculation to see how much gold youre getting out of each of the five precious bind-on-pickup Chaos Orbs this schematic requires. Compared to some of the blacksmithing plans, the return per Chaos Orb is rather low.

Schematic: Flintlockes Woodchucker is a gun enchant that … uh, periodically shoots rabid woodchucks at your enemies. I mean, thats whatFlintlockes Woodchucker is supposed to do. In game, though, the damn thing shoots chickens instead. Which cant even get rabies. (I was about to get indignant about that ux pas, but then I remembered that this is a game with Internet dragons, so some suspension of disbelief is merited.)

Materials required Hardened Elementium Bar, 4Electrified Ether, 5Handfuls of Obsidium Bolts, 2Dream Emeralds

Cost/profit forecast The price range of Flintlockes Woodchucker is broad. On smaller servers, it can sell for as much as 2,000g; on larger servers, it can sell as cheaply as 150g. Theres currently some discussion going on about whether or not this is the best gun scope available for each individual hunter spec; the resolution of that debate (if it ever comes) could influence pricing. Still, even at these low prices, the Woodchucker can still be decently profitable.

Like the engineering schematics, all the blacksmithing plans can be bought from Damek Bloombeard once the Additional Armaments quest is complete.

All of these are Chaos Orb sinks, which is a good news/bad news situation. The good news is that supply is naturally limited — these markets are damn hard to flood. The bad news is that all of these requires you do some Chaos Orb rming. On some servers, though, that rming pays off handsomely — a lot of these plans will let you squeeze 1,000 gold or more out of each bind-on-pickup Chaos Orb you get.

Personally, Im a completionist. If plans are available and I can learn them, Ill pay for them. If youre being more cautious with your money — and since these plans are 300g each, you have a right to be — take a look at your auction house first. The smartest plans to buy are those that let you get the highest value per Chaos Orb with the lowest amount of competition.

PS: If youre going to cash in on these, dont dawdle. The value of this i365 gear is likely to continue to drop as more people get better gear in the Firelands raid.

Plans: Brainsplinter teaches any blacksmith of 525 skill how to craft aBrainsplinter, a one-handed agility i365 dagger with hit and haste.

Cost/profit forecast The selling price of a Brainsplinter currently ranges from 30,000g on the high side to 8,000g on the low side. Due to the high logistical cost of materials — five Chaos Orbs — most markets are currently underserved.

Plans: Elementium-Edged Scalper allows you to craft the i365Elementium-Edged Scalper,cheap polo ralph lauren shirts. a one-handed strength axe with hit and mastery.

Cost/profit forecast The selling price of the Elementium-Edged Scalper ranges from 30,000g all the way down to 10,000g. Like most of the items listed on this page, the more mature your servers economy, the lower the market price. Again, few markets have more than two or three available for sale.

Plans: Masterwork Elementium Deathblade allows you to craft theMasterwork Elementium Deathblade, a two-handed sword with strength, haste, and mastery. Though I am r from an expert on the melee classes, from what I understand, the weapons higher speed and lower per-hit damage make the weapon unattractive to retribution pallies; the haste stat makes the weapon unattractive to many warriors.

Cost/profit forecast As said, the market for this is mostly limited to death knights. On the extreme high end, these swords are being listed for 40,000g; a handful of servers have these as cheap as 8,000g. The most common price seems to be just under 20,000g.

Plans: Lightforged Elementium Hammer teaches a blacksmith how to make theLightforged Elementium Hammer. Its a one-handed i365 healer mace with spirit and mastery.

Cost/profit forecast Like most other items, Lightforged Elementium Hammers have a wide selling range, from 10,000 gold all the way up to 30,000 gold. Though the combination of spirit and mastery is not perfect for everyone, this mace will likely see some pretty decent demand from both healers and hybrids, such as elemental shaman and shadow priests. Remember, though, these will have some competition on the AH in the form of the superior i378Chelleys Sterilized Scalpel, a BOE Firelands raid drop.

Plans: Masterwork Elementium Spellblade allows a 525 blacksmith the ability to craft the DPS casterMasterwork Elementium Spellblade, a one-handed dagger with both hit and crit.

Cost/profit forecast Like anything that requires this much Truegold or this many Chaos Orbs, the Spellblade is rather expensive: 9,000g to 40,000g. Demand for these is somewhat limited; the combination of crit and hit only benefits a few select casters, and everyone else would just be settling. Again, sellers of this blade are competing against Chelleys Sterilized Scalpel and (to a more limited extent) sellers of the Lightforged Elementium Hammer.

Plans: Pyrium Spellward teaches blacksmiths the ability to make the one-handedPyrium Spellward sword, an agility blade with hit and mastery.

Cost/profit forecast The price of the Pyrium Spellward ranges from 5,000 and 30,000 gold. Most servers see a price well over 15,000g.

Plans: Unbreakable Guardian will give a 525 blacksmith the ability to construct the one-handedUnbreakable Guardian, a sword with strength, parry, and mastery. Tanking sword!

Cost/profit forecast The Unbreakable Guardian sells for, on average, about 17,500 gold on a medium-population server. Tank gear is often a tough sell at first — serious tanks will be raiding, and tanks are often the first to get fully geared up in a raiding tier. Still, as this patch drags on, more and more DPSers will be looking to tanking as an easy way to skip valor point queues.

Plans: Witch-Hunters Harvester is required to make the i365 two-handed agility polearmWitch-Hunters Harvester. I mean, technically, its a polearm. In the game, it looks like a scythe. And thats pretty damn awesome in my book. Pretty novel, too — ascythe youd want to equip?! Madness.

Cost/profit forecast Though this is an item that only a few specs would have interest in — bear druids, kitties, and a handful of hunters — the price really isnt that r off from the rest of the blacksmithing goods. Youre looking at an average selling price of around 15,000 gold per server right now.

Wait, Damek is actually part of the Thorium Brotherhood ction? So I actually got a tion discount from him?

Hah! I knew it would eventually be worth it to grind to friggin Exalted way back when!

I thought the exact same thing when I saw his ction when it came time to buy my blacksmithing plans. Hooray for outdated ctions!

Thorium is easy to get to Exalted now if you have a good 85 soloer. I did it with one run of Molten Core for my enchanters heirloom recipes– go solo MC, turn in everything you can after, and poof! Exalted.

Actually these days you dont even need to set foot inside Molten Core. Quest through Searing Gorge to get to revered, then collect a bunch of dark iron residue (either from the AH or from Blackrock Depths) and turn it in at Thorium Point to get from revered to exalted.

Normally fox is very accurate,FFXIV GIL. however a couple of points stand out as incorrect from my experience with it so r. I unlocked the first vendor in roughly 2 weeks give or take, so it isnt that bad, and it only takes 30 days of doing every daily available everyday to complete everything in the motlten front, not 40.

As r as the woodchucher scope goes, even though blizzard said they replaced the squirrels/woodchucks with chickens before the patch came out, it is indeed shooting a squirrel or woodchuck and not a chicken, which I took video of in my client and pointed the camera right in the critters path so I could scrub the frames and see it. It is quite hilarious and everytime I hear the little squeak during a raid fight I chuck-le to myself a little

Oh, Im glad they got that resolved. I dont play a hunter, soooooo …

PS: 30 days = 40 days = too damn many days

Its a grind, but not a 40 day one or even a 30 day one. The patch has only been out 27 days. At this point if youve been capping marks each day, youll have unlocked 2 vendors and be a couple days from the 3rd.

I dont know whats available from raiding, but I do know that the Masterwork Elementium Deathblade is quite attractive to dps death knights. Haste and mastery on a two-hander are all kinds of tasty to unholy DKs.

While it may not be ideal for ret pallies, its a decent upgrade if, like me, you were still dragging about the Sword of the Bottomless Pit.

Now if only it had a different gorram model instead of a recolour of the same old crystalforged sword Ive had since the Crucible of Carnage.

Im not sure what the deal is with the link for the Masterwork Elementium Deathblade, but I have it on my ret and the speed is much slower, 3.8 instead of the linked 3.6 and the top end damage is 3006 which is significantly higher than linked. This makes the sword much more attractive to all 2-handed melee classes. Wowhead is still linking the wrong stats, not sure why… Anyway just thought Id share that in case anyone was interested in going for it.

Guess I spoke to soon, did some checking and it looks like the 3.8 speed is a tooltip bug and with the next server reset it will be fixed. Which is total bull because the only reason I got it was the 3.8 speed and high upper end damage. Boooo…..

no, dks shouldnt be using that weapon either, its just too st. you are better off with any 359 than that. of course, its a solid upgrade over any 346 in game. its a tiny upgrade over the 353 zulagain axe. wouldnt be worth the money to commission someone to make one for any spec. However, since im the bs, I got the recipe and have made a few of them for others, but I dont put them on the ah. I charge 1k/orb in trade chat and make whatever people want. could I get more on ah? dont care.

Im an engineer/miner with a stack of Chaos Orbs. I can either make this gun with them or keep sitting on them hoping that one day theyll be trade-able, and thus sell-able.

Im pretty damn sick of the Molten Front. This new questing area for level 85s Polo Shirts, released with patch 4.2, is the grind-iest damn place I ever had the misfortune to grind lately.

This is why I like Fox Van Allen. Hes not afraid to say something about the game we play kinda sucks. I wish all the writers were like you!

P.S. Im sick of it too!

I just cant get myself to do them anymore. Maybe if each stage was a COMPLETELY new set, but instead Blizz got lazy and gave us 2 new quests each stage to do in addition to the 10 or so that weve already been doing every day. I got to the point where I unlocked all the vendors and I just have to give them each 125 marks to buy their crap, er, wares, and I cant get myself to continue. I already outgear anything I can buy from them and I have no desire to do the exact same thing every day for another 2 weeks. Ugh.

Thats the problem for me. You have to do the outside quests (at the sanctuary) and then do the ones inside and then do the ction-specific ones. Its getting annoying. Ive unlocked 2/3 of the vendors (on an alchemist, even) but at least Im getting some gear out of the deal. Im about a week or so behind on my Engineer because I dont want people stuck wanting scopes or guns if the other engineer thats got the patterns is offline.

I think if theyd made it so that once you unlocked one ction you didnt need to do the outside quests, it would have helped a bit. Im getting really tired of Sethrias roost and all those others at this point.

Im almost done with the marks for my second vendor. 1 more and Im done. Its been tiring, but I cant complain about the gold and I really want my Hypogryph on fire. Almost there

Thats it? he mocked. Mines at level 40 already.

buy sell wowWill Digital Gaming Make The Cash Box Jingle?,How is that possible, I remarked. I have been working so very hard to add neighbours and get additional energy packets for my citys development. Whats your secret?

Cash, my friend! He announced proudly. Purchase stuff and your city will grow in no time, just like mine did.

But why would anyone spend money on a make-believe city that doesnt even exist? I exclaimed.

Why wouldnt they?. and he logged off.

With more and more people spending more time on the Internet and hot and happening social networking sites like Facebook keeping us intrigued, no one can possible stay away from the virtual marketplace filled with gaming thrills. Add to the heady concoction the rise of smartphones and gaming consoles and you get a multi-billion-dollar digital gaming industry that is ripe with potentials for developers and investors alike.

In the run-up to the VCCircle Digital Gaming Investment Forum (to be held on July 28 in Mumbai) that intends to deep-dive into the opportunities generated by the anticipated gaming revolution in India, we will be tracking the gaming business closely with a series of articles over the next few days. Today, we will talk about the monetisation of the digital gaming space, with focus on social and online gaming.

Monetising Digital Gaming

With the growing popularity of digital gaming in India, the potential for monetising gaming content is huge. And it can include various money-spinning formats such as paid downloads, advergaming, rentals, sponsorship, subscription and in-game purchases.

In ct, developers can charge money for each download by a user. One of the most popular games apps to be downloaded in the recent years is Angry Birds and more than 12 million copies of the game have been sold till date.

Renting out games is another model that the developer can try to generate revenues. If users are not interested in buying games, those can be rented, resulting into a steady cash flow.

Another genre which is st picking up pace is subscription-based gaming, thanks to the growing popularity of Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) like The World of Warcraft. In this case, gamers pay monthly subscriptions for membership.

With the rise of Facebook (and other SNS), social games have become hot property. CityVille, a game by Zynga,barefoot running shoes. had more than 80 million monthly active users (MAU) on Facebook in January, 2011, followed by FarmVille, with around 58 million MAU. Users can play these games free of cost, but the use of in-game monetisation (to enhance gaming experience) can generate revenues without a hitch.

While playing those games, gamers can make in-game micro-transactions in order to unlock or acquire better content (new levels, gold coins or rare items). And payments can be made through PayPal, credit card, etc. Another form of in-game monetisation is the ad-funded payment.

Digital gaming in India is still at its innt stage and currently, the country has around 12-15 million social gamers. Although social gaming is competitive in nature where competition among neighbours prompts them to spend on their rms and cities, Indians are not spending money on such games. This is because no matter how much they spend, they cannot compete with players from other countries. So, if we want Indians to spend on social gaming, developers will have to come up with games built especially for Indians, with India-specific graphs, said Lalit Sharma, CEO of Oxylabs.

Even free games can generate revenue for developers. Games2win is one such example. Anyone can access the site and play games on the site. In this case, the developer usually generates revenue from advertisements which are placed throughout the gaming website and in-between games.

Other options for monetising gaming include pay per play, try and then pay, pay for private game servers or even pay for storage space (like game saves).

What It Means For Developers/Investors

Globally, the amount of money that will be spent on gaming will reach $112 billion by 2015. And the money spent on gaming in 2011 will exceed $74 billion, a growth of 10.4 per cent from the previous year when gaming expenditure was estimated at $67 billion.

If one talks about different genres of digital gaming, there are more than 600 million users who play social games and the market for social gaming touched $1.5 billion globally in 2010. Mobile gaming is also on the rise, with more than 840 million subscribers in India. And it is expected to reap up to Rs.17.1 billion in revenues by 2015.

The developers/investors have to keep in mind the opportunities coming up and decide accordingly on the business model they will like to follow since the figures mentioned above clearly show the potentials for monetising digital gaming content not only in India but across the globe.

Challenges To Encounter

In spite of all the opportunities presented,polo ralph lauren outlet. there are a number of challenges to counter. Now, let us look at some of these challenges.

First of all, developers have to decide which monetising model they will use for their games. Selecting the right model that complements the type of game being developed is essential for the subsequent success of the game.

While developing new games, developers should focus on the global marketplace and not only on India. This is because although the purchasing power of the Indian consumer is increasing, it will take time to be at par with countries in Europe and the US said M G Dayanidhi, Managing Director- Asia Pacific 5 finger shoes Polo shirts for men, Digital Chocolate IT & Gaming Solutions Pvt. Ltd. The developers also have to keep in mind that 90 to 95 per cent of the players in social gaming are non-paying users, only 5 per cent make in-game purchases. But these 95 per cent are also important since they increase the total user count.

Then wow power leveling, there is the challenge of selling virtual items to the gamers. To sell an item, you have to first convince the gamer to buy it. Games like CityVille and FarmVille are two examples where the concept of in-game monetisation has worked brilliantly and people willingly spend money to purchase items in-game. This pattern of spending is much more prevalent abroad but India, it is st catching up.

The ARPU (average revenue per user) and the ARPPU (average revenue per paying user) are the determining ctor in social gaming. If out of a total of 100 players, 10 are in-game purchases of Rs.250 on an average, the ARPPU becomes Rs.250, but when we calculate the ARPU, it is only Rs.25. So if a developer wants to make sure the ARPU is high, he will have to focus on increasing the number of players in-game purchases.

However, developers must constantly test, refine and upgrade the functions to keep the gamers engrossed. People tend to lose interest very st if something new is not constantly offered.

Besides, new monetisation strategies will have to be developed to better exploit the monetary potentials of digital gaming. Users must be offered cost-effective gaming features and easy-to-use payment methods for the business model to work.

Finally, developers/investors must have an insight into the mood and the trend of Indian gamers. What are the hottest games today, who is the target audience, what do they want to play and finally, how much are they willing to pay for it these are some of the most pertinent questions that developers/investors will have to ask themselves before creating new games.

Of course, with a wide range of genres available today, such as skill-based games, casual, action, role-playing, strategy, simulation and multi-player games, and with the presence of various delivery formats including mobile gaming, online gaming, social network gaming, consoles and PC gaming, there is something for everyone.

The only question that remains is whether developers can effectively tap the market and make use of the upcoming opportunities in the digital gaming space.
