Farming Gold in WoW
If you want to make some quick Warcraft gold just by farming, these are some of the best spots and items:The best low level farm spot is in Westfall on the western shore, near the windmill. There's a camp of Defias Trappers who drop linen cloth over 70% of the time. The big advantage of this spot is the remarkable respawn rate. It would be hard to kill them all before the first had respawned

105,000 Banned
Blizzard closed another 105,000 accounts during November:In our continued efforts to combat cheating in World of Warcraft, more than 105,000 accounts were closed and over 12 million gold was removed from the game economies in Europe, Korea, and the US in the month of November.They cite the use of bots to farm gold and items as the main reason:The closed accounts were associated with activities
Be a Deviate
Here's a good way to make some easy WoW gold from level 20 onwards.Perfect Deviate Scale is selling for around a gold each on most servers. This is needed for the Deviate Scale Belt in much demand for level 19 twinking.There is only one place this drops and that is Wailing Caverns. The mobs outside of the instance range from 15 to 17 elite. They drop Deviate Scale and Perfect Deviate Scale. If

The Fastest way to Make WoW Gold
This isn't as much some secret way of making piles of WoW gold as an observation and advice.I was wandering around Winterspring the other day with my level 56 hunter picking up a few herbs, killing the odd mob that got in my way. You know the stuff. As I picked each herb, and looted each mob, I was noticing the selling prices of the loot. Auctioneer has one great feature that tells me the selling

Gingerbread Cookies and Milk
Christmas has arrived in Azeroth. And with it, the regular quest to bring Santa gingerbread cookies and milk. If you've looked in the AH at the price of small eggs, needed for the quest, you will have noticed that they are selling for up to 1 gold each. I started stockpilling these back in November and am very happy to fill the insatiable need for a gold a piece. You can farm small eggs easily

Wow 2.0 Auctioneer
Ok, I've decided I can't live without the Auctioneer addon. That may be a bit of an exageration, but I certainly can't play WoW.I've downloaded the alpha version, complete with bugs, from here and will be part of their testing team. I'll let you know how it goes.UPDATE: I've used it for a couple of days. Although it has a few bugs there are no major problems. No client crashes or anything. If

I'm Getting Paid to Play Games!
I wish I had discovered this site earlier. Now you can get paid just to play beta versions of new games. Only a few bucks an hour but it's basically free money as far as I'm concerned. The game publishers send you a video game via regular mail. The games are for consoles as well as for regualr PCs but you get to tell them which systems you have when you sign up. You play the game for a few

LFG
Is it just me, or is the new WoW 2.0 LFG panel just about useless? It seems to work about as well as the meeting stones with the only advantage that you don't have to travel to the zone entrance to use it.You sit there watching an empty screen for 10 minutes then somebody joins. They either leave the party immediately or mutter some excuse about having to feed the dog and then leave. Another

I want my addons!
As predicted, most of the World of Warcraft Addons are not working with the WoW 2.0 patch. My favorites, Auctioneer and Enchantrix will not be ready for a couple of weeks according to their site:Due to the fact that many of our developers are extraordinarily busy with real-life concerns at the moment (such as exams etc), we are postponing the release of all 2.0 addons for 2 weeks after 2.0 is

Are you paying taxes on your WoW gold income?
You may soon have to according to an article in Znet."you probably haven't wondered whether the United States government will someday tax your virtual winnings from games played over the Internet. The real question is: Why hasn't it happened already?"

WoW Addons to break
With the upcoming patch to version 2.0, it appears that most, if not all, Warcraft addons will stop working:WoW 2.0 represents a major change in the UI code, and as such ALL AddOns will need to be updated before they will work, if for no other reason than the Lua 5.0 to Lua 5.1 changes. Some AddOns will be more seriously affected, and a few will have to be redesigned."which really sucks. Some of
