No PvP action yesterday, although I did deliberately miss out on the action at Halaa. The Horde took over while the Alliance stepped aside, only to attack and take it over again.
I was busy, though, working on getting my Ravager ready for PvP. When I got him he was level 63, and last night I got him to 64. Also, his loyalty is level 5, which I think is one away from the highest. Whenever he gets a new loyalty level, that’s when he gets new training points, and I have been spending them on Natural Armor and Great Stamina. I am not sure if that is best, but it seems to me to be the most universal. Fire Protection. Frost, Arcane…all these seem to be too specific and useful only in specific circumstances. If I had enough training points to fill up Armor and Stamina, maybe then I would increase the others, but I don’t see it happening.
But…I do miss the PvP action, so maybe I will alternate between Arathi and training my Ravager. Sure would like to get those shoulders. If I remember, I will link them, and what I currently have, for your inspecting pleasure.

Making Money in Season 4
Eyonix made a lot of players happy the other day by announcing the start of Season 4. It’s something that a lot of players have been waiting for, even planning for. Some players will be making the mad rush to accumulate Arena and Honor points. Within the first week of the new season, players who have stashed away the maximum 5,000 Arena points will be able to purchase anywhere from two to three pieces of Brutal Gladiator gear, provided they achieve the required personal ratings.
For other players such as those who have only recently dinged 70 or those new to the PvP scene, the 75,000 maximum Honor — or whatever Honor they have stashed away — will likely be used to purchase Merciless Gladiator gear when it goes on sale. More seasoned players will use the Honor to purchase Guardian gear to round out their equipment slots. When Season 4 starts, players will be strutting around Azeroth in brand spanking new gear. For a select few, these players will look like walking piles of Gold. New Arena seasons flood the community with enchant-worthy, gem-hungry gear like no other event.

Instead, each conference participant will receive (while supplies last) 10 gold pieces, a red “Sciencemag” shirt, a colorful conference tabard emblazoned with an infinity symbol, two extra bags for swag, a telescope, and a pet creature. Between sessions, there will be group field trips across landscapes inhabited by dangerous beasts–some earthly and extinct, others fanciful–an introduction to the world’s auction-based economy, and finally a massive joint assault on an enemy city. (Beat that, Gordon conferences!) Anyone with an Internet connection can take part, from anywhere in the world. All you have to do is install the game, create a character, and join the guild called “Science” on the Earthen Ring US server.
This will not be your typical conference. Sure, there will be sessions devoted to various research topics involving virtual worlds, panel discussions, social activities, and those conference goody bags that we’ve all come to love. But to attend this conference, you don’t have to splurge on grant money or add to global warming by flying to another country. And in the goody bags, you won’t find brochures, pens, or those quickly lost notebooks.

Titles aimed at casual and younger gamers are another growth area. Disney’s Club Penguin and Toontown Online have been successful in attracting the pre-teen audience – and the latter wow gold over a million subscribers. Jagex’s Runescape, which takes the more traditional role-playing setting and repackages it for a younger age group, has a similar number of paying players.
Welsh wow gold a word of warning though.
Welsh argues that price wow gold the real driver. “The growth of the free-to-play market in the west will really help grow the audience for this kind of gaming.”
“There’s no such thing as a casual MMO player. Successful MMOs turn casual gamers into hardcore gamers – it’s how they work, economically.”
Relf recognises the trend: “One of the biggest growth opportunities within the online gaming space is represented by the relatively untapped younger or more casual gaming audience.”
So what happens next in online gaming? Ellingsen thinks diversity is key. “If the message the market receives is that you need to wow gold World of Warcraft in order to be successful, no one is going to dare do it. I truly
