Hey there everybody! Hope everythings been going well for all of you over the last couple of weeks. It looks like the boys over at Blizzard have been busy this month.

Here’s what’s new:

First and foremost, they’ve dropped a new patch for our playing enjoyment. 3.3.3 is live and ready to go! The biggest change this has made is for PvP. Now you have the option to queue for a random battleground instead of having to pick one and wait in line for it. This should speed things up for those of us who aren’t so picky about what background we’re working with when we’re slinging carnage. Also, they’ve doubled the Honor award for all Honorable Kills performed in the Battlegrounds. The exp they give you stays the same, but the extra honor won’t hurt anything.

There have been some other minor tweaks and such, but nothing major. Buff ranges on some spells have been increased to 100 yards instead of the usual 45 and there are a few tweaks to some glyphs for most classes.

Another huge bit of news is that the time and place of the next BlizzCon has been officially set! You’ll be able to attend or at least read the news about it on October 22 and 23. And it will be returning to the Anaheim Convention Center this year! Hooray! Hope to see you there.

Of course, this is going to start the usual round of speculations about what’s going to be announced at BlizzCon this year. I know I’m hoping for more details on Cataclysm, but I’ll be happy with whatever they decide to give us. Some more details on Diablo III would be perfectly welcome as well.

With all of this in mind, I’m really of the opinion that now would be a great time to buy gold. You’ll really want to stock up on gear so that you’re ready for the increase in players we’ll see in PvP. That extra honor will be a definite draw. Plus, you just know that another patch will come before too long, and who knows what that will carry.

So get out there and buy gold like there’s no tomorrow!

Well, yet another chapter has been added to WoW that has made it even more fun.

I know I’m a little behind the times posting on this, but I’ve been too busy trying to get myself leveled up so I can start making Icecrown runs. 3.3.2 went live a while ago and it’s been keeping everyone out there really busy. For those who have already hit 80, congrats. You are getting the best deal of all of us. For those of us still working on it, we have a long haul ahead of us.

I’m 78 currently, so I’m getting closer. It’s just a matter of time and decent gear/skills. As usual I’ve made my job a little easier by buying wow gold lately. I was really worried that the prices might spike really heavily with the new patch. There’s usually some sort of rise around the time of a patch, as well as a bunch of scammers showing up to make our lives miserable. I know I’ve mentioned that some time in the past, but it holds true, and it’s never a bad idea to warn everybody out there about the dangers.

I’m always one for sticking with the companies and sites I know work. I don’t mind experimenting a bit when the market is nice and stable, but with all of the changes I’m hunkering down with my old standbys. The last batch of buys I did were all at Toonstorm. They’ve always treated me well, and have the best security I could hope for. Plus, their prices didn’t fluxuate anything at all like everyone else’s. 2000 gold is still under $15, which makes good sense in my mind. Not to mention that they have the fastest delivery I’ve ever seen. If it were much faster, it’d make the GMs jumpy.

Speaking of the GMs, that’s another reason to be careful about who you spend your money on right now. Whenever a new patch drops, moderators go on full alert. Usually, they’re a little less uptight (scanning chat and play for suspicious behavior gets old and they start to relax after a while), but when the big dogs drop new content they have to make sure that everything runs smoothly. That means buying from new companies can be a serious hazard to your account if they don’t have the same security standards that the tried-and-true sites do.
