October 21st, 2011

World Of Warcraft Legitimizes Gold Buying, Tradeable Cash Shop Pets
October 11th, 2011 Omali I thought I smelled something burning while on the drive back home today.

This serves the purpose of keeping the big players playing (for free) while allowing people who need an influx of cash to [...]

August 7th, 2011 Omali Seven days is all Samara needs to come out of the television and kill you. Oddly enough, that may also be how long it takes to get hooked back into World of Warcraft.

Where Are They Going? World of Warcraft Subs Slip to 11 Million
August 4th, 2011 Omali The question of “how do you kill World of Warcraft” continues to be asked by companies and players alike, yet it is a question that has already been answered.

WoW: $1.9 Million To Japan Relief
August 4th, 2011 Omali Lods of emone! When Blizzard releases a new pet on the cash shop, you can bet that the GDP of a small island nation will find its way into the World of Warcraft coffers by the end of the month. Even better so, when 100% of the cost is for charity, at least you’ll have [...]
