I should have known that the boys at Blizzard wouldn’t let things go for too long without adding something else. Now they’ve announced that registration for the 2010 Arena Tournament is open for registration, so you’ll want to sign up soon so you can take part. They haven’t announced the official date of the tournament as of yet, but I’d expect it’s coming up soon.

The reason this is such a big deal is the prizes that are available. Sure, there’s the chance to show your l33t skills in crushing everyone out there in 3v3 battles and all. But, really, with $15,000 up for grabs in the regional tourney and $75,000 for the global, there’s money to be made here. Those prizes would cover your WoW subscription for a rather long time. Or, if you wanted to buy WoW US gold, it’d make sure you have the funds to do so for…well… ever really. I can’t imagine being able to blow that much on it.

For those of you unfamiliar with the format, you get a level 80 character (not one of your own, a toon they give you at the time) and you can pimp it out as much as you want. This includes infinite gold and access to shops that sell everything you could possibly want. Epic level gear from WotLK, Honor trinkets, training, you name it, it’s up for sale. Then you and two others take on other teams to try and take the top spot. And did I mention the HUGE cash prizes? Yeah, I’m stoked about that.

Anyway, the good news about all of this is that it’s giving time for the gold market to settle down. With all of the new stuff lately, we’d seen a lot of price changes as supply dried up. Patches and additions mean more people are going to buy WoW gold. This drives supply down, which can lead to increased prices. Unfortunately, this has only gotten worse in the last few weeks.

Prices are up everywhere. The best I’ve found so far is at Toonstorm. They’re only up to 10.11 per 1000 gold at the moment, which is keeping it a little below where the others are. They haven’t had to sacrifice delivery speed, however, so you can still get it at the express rate they usually offer.

I’m really hoping that Blizzard slows down for a little bit right now. That’ll allow prices to come down as the companies restock. You may want to get some now, though, in case it just goes up further.

Hello and welcome back!

We have now been blogging for almost 4 months! During that time we have logged hundreds of comments and emails from you, our beloved readers(:D), thanking us for putting the info together and presenting it. It’s really meant a lot to us to know we have that many people reading our blog and listening to our advice!

With that in mind we want to go over some of the happenings of the past 4 months and share those with you.

We were lucky enough to review Toonstorm.com as one of the first sites we tried to buy wow gold from and then write about our experiences here for you to reflect on. Needless to say we were incredibly lucky with out pick. They proved to be one of the BEST PLACES to buy WoW gold that we reviewed. We had several places give us the run-around, some not deliver, some have horrible customer service, and a few try all kinds of wierd stuff in game (Talk about trading nightmareee ugh), but with Toonstorm it was fast and easy. We have  since reviewed them several subsequent times and each time has provided the same result – Excllent customer service, Fast wow gold delivery, and great prices.

We are not going to review a website purchase this week but since we hit the four month mark we figured we’d just offer up the above re-cap and offer people a good alternative to buying from scam sites.

We’ll be back with a full review next week! Thanks for reading!
