the world of warcraft ah remains in the older citiesTo be very brief, no. This was Nethaera’s answer to several requests for an Auction House in Shattrath. So why do I mention it? This time we got an explanation behind the decision.

Blizzard thinks an Auction House in Shattrath will eliminate the only reason for players to interact with others in the older cities of World of Warcraft. Blizzard says players can use the Shatt portals to get to the AH in the older cities. Then they can activate their hearthstone to get back .

This plan spreads out the population of WoW, too. When their was only one AH for each Alliance and Horde, Ironforge was also known as Lagforge. And now just think about the consequences to the framerate, if Blizzard would put an Auction House in the capital of the Outlands. Right, not pretty. So you must manage your trades with your in the older cities, but at least you know why, now! :)

Is buying WoW Gold necessary for casual world of warcraft gamers?

Can raiders be successful both in WoW and in their RL by applying professional skills like time management to their gameplay hours?

I don’t think that everyone falls exactly under the labels of „casual“ or „raider“, but they are convenient categories to describe two opposing groups of players.

What do you think? Do I have to be a “hardcore” raider who must neglect the rest of my live in order to see so much of the endgame content? Most of the “serious” raiders think all casuals stink as players. In my opinion: some do, that’s out of the question, but just as there are successful raiders vs. wannabe raiders, there are also a very large percentage of „casuals“ who are skilled at playing their World of Warcraft class in a variety of different situations.

The other interesting question is: Do „Casuals“ have an alternative to buying WoW gold, hence they do not have as much time for WoW gold farming as the „hardcore“ gamers. In words, is it legitmate to buy WoW gold when you prefer having a demanding job and a family?

What do you think „Casual vs Raider“, roooound 1! Fight! :)

Blizzard revealed today that World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, the second expansion for World of Warcraft, will be playable at the 2007 Games Convention in Leipzig in Germany. The Games Convention opens on Wednesday, 22nd August and is open to  public visitors from Thursday the 23rd to Sunday the 26th of August.

European players will be able to play in the new Howling Fjord region of WoW’s Northrend and test themselves in Utgarde Keep, a five-person dungeon located there.

Members from the development teams will be there giving live demonstrations of the games, in addition to interview sessions and presentations for the press. Some experts also expect new drafts of Blizzard to face WoW gold selling.
