Finally a two week span where nothing else happens in WoW! I didn’t think this would ever come!

That’s the thing about writing blogs like this in your spare time. You have to try to stay on top of all of the news, and when it keeps coming like that it’s hard to keep up. Not that I’m complaining mind you. The new content is a blast (for those of you at 80), and even if you can’t play it yet, it’ll keep you busy until Cataclysm drops.

Something that occurs to me is that not everyone is as familiar with the whole gold buying process as others. I’ve been at it a long time, and have managed to cultivate my favorite sites to buy WoW gold from.

Now, I’m all about newbies doing what they can to get ahead a little. I did it (and later wished I’d done it sooner), and have no problem with them trying to move up without wasting endless amounts of time grinding away. It’s just not worth it, especially when you factor in the amount you’re paying in monthly fees.

My only fear is that these newcomers don’t play safe all the time. I want to share some advice with them today to help keep the rest of us out of hot water.

First and foremost, please don’t talk about buying gold in open chat. I’ve said this a few times before, but it really warrants repeating. For those of you who haven’t been let down by the current educational system and actually had to read 1984, Big Brother is watching at all times. Blizzard has people they pay to sit and monitor chat and game usage to weed out people who are breaking (or at least bending) the rules. This includes spammers, flamers, modders (which doesn’t happen too often), and farmers. If they catch you, or someone turns you in, that’s usually it for you.

Another thing to keep in mind is moderation. It’s awesome that you can get tons and tons of gold for just a little cash investment, but seeing a level 12 with 50G in their pockets raises eyebrows. Make small buys that are in accordance with your level. If you buy WoW EU gold at the right places, the prices are low enough that it won’t make a huge difference.

There are tons more tips, but I’m going to sign off for now and share them later.
