How do you see yourself evolving as an "athlete-turned-entrepreneur? Ten years ago,the thought of a professional gamer would have been absurd.
We want players to play the game continually with multiple classes. But, we also want players to fully develop a single class. So the answer is both. We want both.

Four years of World of Warcraft
2009-03-10 00:00:00
Yes, as you know from the little Blizzard Bear in your mailbox, yesterday was the fourth anniversary of our favorite game, World of Warcraft. It's been a huge four years -- we've seen Blizzard develop and change massively multiplayer games as we know them, and gaming as a whole in some ways. We've grown our own characters up all the way from level one to 30 and 60 and 70 and beyond, and we've gone through two expansions, eight endgames, countless patches and class changes, endless guild achievements and breakups and many, many "dings" and "grats." We at WoW Insider would like to congratulate Blizzard on four years of World of Warcraft -- it's been an amazing ride so far, and it's not over yet. After the break, some of our writers have posted their own thoughts and memories on the game's anniversary, and please add your own in the comments below. It could seem silly to celebrate the anniversary of a videogame, especially one that, if you've been playing since day one, you've spent over $800 and countless hours on. But then again, look at what this game has given back: groups and guilds full of friends (and some spouses), weeknights full of gear upgrades and XP gains, Saturday afternoons spent slaying dra...

Free character migration for EU realms
2009-03-10 00:00:00
We're just now coming out of our Thanksgiving turkey-induced haze here at WoW Insider, so if you've seen this already, forgive us, but Blizzard announced late last week that there's relief on the way for EU characters tied up by queues -- they've got a whole mess of free migrations in the mix. We've got the whole list of transfers after the break as well. Argent Dawn appears to be in the worst shape, as Blizzard is sending players from that realm onto three different realms. Magtheridon seems to be the least busy -- all they're transferring off there is the Horde-side players. They're also transferring players off of a few different realms to the newly-created one, Chamber of Aspects, so if you're looking for a new start, there you go. These migrations are going until December 2nd, so now'...

Free Wotlk Guides - Aoe Farming Mammoth Meat and Worm Meat
2009-03-10 00:00:00
Here's an example article from Markco! "Check out this great mammoth/worm meat farming location in Storm Peaks. I consider it more of a 'pitstop' between daily quests but if you wanted to you could farm here as described below. There are two mammoth packs running around outside the cave where you do a hodir rep quest (southwest of the hodir faction area). My advise is to swoop down and kill both packs, go into the cave, then head back out and kill both packs ag...

Gear vs. Skill
2009-03-10 00:00:00
Bell over at 4 Haelz made an interesting post about gear and skill. She relates several experiences where, looking for group, players ask for her 'stats' and grill her further upon finding out that she's on the low end of the spectrum numbers-wise. Sometimes, those players don't invite her or, worse, log off from their party without even giving her a chance to prove herself. But there's a flip side, too, and Bell tells of running Heroic Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom with a tank who gave her a chance. That story ends well and a Druid in less-than-stellar gear earns some new friends along the way (and hopefully loot, although she didn't mention that). This is an old and valid argument....

Getting 1k gold at level 16

Hello everyone, hope the holidays were a blast and that all your morning afters weren't too bad! Anyways, I decided to do something really fun and maybe show you all a thing or two about using the auction house! I have created a character on Twisting Nether (I have no mains there) and leveled him to 17. Nothing special so far right? Well I plan on getting him one thousand gold all by himself. No professions, no farming (cept to start out), just the auction house. Crazy, right? Well I'm going to do it! Here are screen shots of Day 1 for my little orc warrior. He started off with 5 go...
