How to get your friends to play World of Warcraft with you?
Feb 22nd
Bunco asked:
I really want to play a good mmorpg at the moment. Sadly, I have discovered that World of Warcraft is not nearly as much fun to play without your friends. This is made difficult by the fact that my friends are cheap and will not pay the monthly fee easily. Does anyone have any advice on how to get my friends to willingly pay for a monthly fee?

MMOvie – World of Warcraft Machinima Movie Trailer
Feb 20th
FullStealth asked:
View the first 10 minutes at http://MMOvie.VOIG.com
The MMOvie project began with this trailer, which was something of an experiment for us – could machinima be produced with professional quality results, and was there an audience for the finished product? The resounding global success of this trailer answered “hell yes!” to both those questions, and we decided to take it a step further.
In January of ‘08 We started production of a high-definition, feature-length version of our machinima film. Creating machinima at this level of quality, requires an enormous amount of time and effort from our rather large team of professional filmmakers and actors. We will slowly release the film in small installments as we complete them.
If you do love what you see, and want the project move forward, we need your help – we need to prove the popularity of the film with hits, and lots of them. You’ve helped us get this far, now help us finish the project with your continued support: watch the first installment at http://mmovie.voig.com then tell your friends, forward the link, and, if you can, donate a dollar or two.
Thanks for all the support and great comments.

World of Warcraft Spans Continents, Races, Ages and Even Worlds
Feb 12th
Muna wa Wanjiru asked:
The World of Warcraft to put it quite simply, is a game. It’s a very large game with a very large player base but it is nevertheless still a game, and when you get right down to it, it spans continents, races, ages and even worlds.
There is nothing quite like it anywhere else although many others have tried. They haven’t failed, but they can’t exactly live up to the standards set by the World of Warcraft.
First released to the world (as we know it, that is), in November of 2004, World of Warcraft is what is known as an MMORPG. That’s Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game to those of us who are slightly clueless in that respect.
World of Warcraft is a fantasy game where players can take on the guise of different characters in the world known to all as Azeroth, the place where World of Warcraft is set.
If you’re a gaming addict then this game is one of the better MMORPG’s which you should try if you get the chance to. It’s not a free game and to play it you will have to pay for it.
However, you do have the choice of playing the World of Warcraft trial version for free. This can be downloaded from the World of Warcraft website, or from numerous other official World of Warcraft websites.
If you decide to go with this option to experience the World of Warcraft in all its game playing glory then you also get the chance to create your very character, which can be fun and interesting in and of itself.
Also if you decide to go with World of Warcraft and get yourself an account, the character you created for the trial version can still be used. But now that you have a better idea about the game you might want to create a different character, then again you might want to stay with your first World of Warcraft creation.
Whatever takes your fancy you will find that you have what amounts to an unlimited number of characters in the ridiculously high number of 50 characters. Think about it, 50 characters? Now go even further with the thought that you will also be unable to play with more than one character at a time. It seems unlimited now doesn’t it?
Most people will in fact play with more than one character though. This means that they will create a handful of characters, (some people will take full advantage of the complete 50 character allowance).
This will in turn allow them to expand their playing range in World of Warcraft unlike in some other MMORPG’s. And ultimately that’s what the whole thing is all about – getting the most you can out of your game playing and the various characters, places, things and quests available in the World of Warcraft.

Warcraft Wealth – the Gold Making Guide
Feb 6th
P Tab asked:
Have you ever played World of Warcraft? If you do, then you understand the importance of getting as much gold as possible. At work everybody plays World of Warcraft. A colleague of mine in the same staff room was playing World of Warcraft and complaining about not getting enough gold! Then he bought Warcraft Wealth Guide and started earning gold fast. So I searched for information regarding World of Warcraft while I was working on my computer.
In this guide I found out about The 7 core principles of gold-getting that you must know, even before you loot another, How I make 100g per day in 7 minutes at the Auction House, The most effective strategy for grinding motes that pays off handsomely and 12 full pages with the author’s strategy and detailed step-by-step route to make more than 100g in 30 minutes!
If you don’t play World of Warcraft, you might be wondering what the big deal is about getting all this gold? Which by the way was very time consuming and frustrating until I purchased Warcraft Wealth, the gold making guide! Gold is what makes the World of Warcraft go round. You use this for everything is the game, and yet I never seemed to be able to get enough? I seemed rather frustrated being unable to do what my friends where doing. The Warcraft Wealth Guide focuses on getting the gold. So if you don’t know anything about this game I suggest you join in and start playing. That’s what I did using The Warcraft Wealth Guide.
So what’s inside Warcraft Wealth?
This is what I mainly found in my purchase:
• The Warcraft Wealth Guide – WOW Basics
• Warcraft Wealth Auction House
• Warcraft Wealth Mining Maps
• World of Warcraft Basics: From Noob and Beyond
This was important to me as I was a beginner, compared to everybody else, I have a lot of catching up to do. My experience with Warcraft Wealth Guide has brought me the secrets I needed to get the gold. I haven’t solved all my problems yet, but with my increased gold it’s getting a lot easier and a lot more fun!

Can a World of Warcraft Warrior Survive in a Warhammer Online World?
Feb 5th
B. Tru asked:
With the recent launch of the much anticipated Warhammer Online (WAR), the burning question in many World of Warcraft (WOW) gamers’ mind is how difficult the transition from playing WOW to WAR is going to be. In this article we will examine some of the fundamental differences and similarities between the worlds of WOW and WAR. Will the transition from one to the other be as seamless as many gamers hope it will be?
Consider the story setting
One of most pronounced differences a WOW gamer will notice when entering the WAR world is the time frame and setting. In WAR, you are landing in the middle of an all out war of destruction and annihilation! The concept of peace is all but wishful thinking in the Warhammer Online world! If looking for trouble and a fight, there is plenty to find in World of Warcraft, however in most cases you need to go looking trouble. In WAR it is in your face, up close and personal! Even the graphic visual surroundings help to portray this difference in the world settings. The bright colors and cute bunny rabbits hopping around the countryside found in many areas of WOW have been replaced by dimly lit landscapes in WAR, showing the scars of devastation and destruction left by unending battles and blood shed.
Consider the plot
The overall plot of Warhammer Online is by most accounts much more sinister and evil than what exists in World of Warcraft. The forces of evil known as “Destruction” are made up of some very twisted and perverse races. Conversely the side of good or “Order” is deeply rooted in religion almost to the point of fanaticism. The line between what is “right” and “pure” verses “unjust” and “evil” appears to be much less defined in WAR than in WOW. In World of Warcraft the choice between playing the side of good or evil is pretty straight forward, whereas with Warhammer Online, things may not be as they first appear. Each side, “Order” or “Destruction” have their share of skeletons in their closet!
Consider playable classes
Although Warhammer Online does offer nearly twice the number of playable classes than World of Warcraft, the basic roles filled are essentially the same. You still have healers, tanks, melee dps and ranged dps. The race you decide to play will determine the classes available. So for example if you are used playing the role of a warrior in WOW, in WAR your options would be in the form of Ironbreaker, Black Orc, Swordmaster or Chosen. Obviously this is a rough comparison as each of the WAR characters has been “tweeked” with special racial abilities as well.
Consider rules of engagement
Rules of engagement or combat is very similar in most respects between WOW and WAR. The main noticeable difference is Warhammer Online combat appears to be slower than in World of Warcraft. This allows the defender more time to react to an attack and prepare an effective defense and possible counter attack back at his opponent. One of the most significant differences between WOW and WAR is in the area of player verses player combat (PVP). The role of PVP is much more important in Warhammer Online. In WOW, PVP is just another interesting option, whereas in WAR, only by doing PVP will you gain a special kind of experience called “reknown” that allows for unique tactics and character improvements not available anywhere else in the game.
Consider questing and leveling.
As in World of Warcraft, quest givers are NPCs marked with a symbol, (green circles in WAR verses yellow exclamation points in WOW), who will give you tasks to complete to help level. Warhammer Online also has several different categories of quest types available ranging from the tradition quest WOW players are used to gain experience, money, and/or booty up to an new type of quest called the “Public Quest” that requires players to band together to accomplish an unique objective based on the WAR storyline. Yet another interesting experience found in the WAR quests, is the Tome of Knowledge, which actually keeps a record of your quests woven into a story-like account.
Consider occupation
World of Warcraft Online players have a wide range of occupations to choose from such as mining, leather working, jewel crafting, alchemy, etc. . Not so in the WAR world. Occupations occupy a much diminished role in Warhammer Online, possibly because you are too busy trying to stay alive! Occupations in WAR are limited to creation crafts of potion-making and talisman-crafting and some minor gathering crafts.
Consider a sense of community
The sense of community or “guilds” plays a much more important role in Warhammer Online than in World of Warcraft. In WAR the traditional reasons for belonging to a guild are to find help with quests, game play advice, raiding groups, money pool, resource exchange, etc. has been greatly enhanced. As WAR players advance, so does their guild, which allows for the attainment of new abilities, guild privileges, and rights by the player.
So, can a World of Warcraft Warrior (or any other WOW class) survive in a Warhammer Online world? Definitely, “yes”! There are however enough differences between the two games to make life interesting and challenging, and there is a new learning curve, (which may or may not be initially steep depending on your WOW gaming background) as with any new gaming experience. To help flatten out the learning curve and get your WAR gaming experience up and running quickly, I do recommend looking into purchasing good Warhammer Online gaming guides for leveling and gold farming.
