Text of the page (random words):
l world currency cost for the tokens will not be cheaper than monthly subscription rates gold prices for tokens will initially be set by blizzard on a per region basis because gold value varies by region but will eventually be taken over by an algorithm that looks at the historical supply and demand of tokens to balance prices per region gold can be created or destroyed in the system as buyers will only ever pay the current gold price for tokens regardless of the price at which the tokens were listed when a token is sold its seller will receive the gold price quoted at the time of listing regardless of the token s purchase price thus if the price goes up after a seller lists a token the buyer will pay that price but the seller will not receive extra gold conversely if the price goes down after a seller lists a token the buyer will pay the lower price but the seller will still receive all of the gold they were quoted at the time of listing blizzard is okay with gold being created or destroyed as prices slowly change if it means that sellers don t have to guess about how much gold they will actually receive once their token sells tokens will generally be sold in the order that they are listed if you run out of game time but have enough gold on a character to buy a token you can do so directly from the character select screen and it will automatically add the game time to your account the wow token system launch likely won t launch everywhere at once it will likely be a staggered release to allow blizzard the opportunity to troubleshoot problems before it becomes available worldwide fraud prevention and protection blizzard will protect both buyers and sellers of tokens from fraudulent purchases so if a buyer uses illicitly obtained gold to purchase a token that gold will not be taken away from the innocent seller and if a seller uses fraudulently obtained tokens to make gold the tokens game time will not be taken away from the innocent buyer like current auction house systems buying tokens for gold will likely be instantaneous but selling them will likely include a delay while blizzard performs a fraud review though players with established credit histories with blizzard may have a shorter delay additional limitations such as a limits on the number of transactions allowed per account may also be a factor i think one of the interesting aspects of the wow token system is that tokens that are purchased with real world currency can only be sold for gold and tokens purchased with gold can only be used for game time that seems to be a feature designed specifically to combat players who might otherwise try to play both sides of the market and thereby wreak havoc on exchange rates combined with the fact that tokens will cost at least as much as a single month s subscription this means that each token transaction will require a fairly decent profit margin just to keep up with the discounts given by 3 and 6 month subscription options posted by gryphonheart at 4 21 pm 2 comments labels warcraft wow tokens wednesday february 11 2015 bwbt favorite blizzard title yesterday s blizzard watch breakfast topic bwbt posed the question what is your favorite blizzard title for me that s a surprisingly difficult question to answer i have and have played nearly all of the blizzard games available to me some long after their initial release such as with the lost vikings and blackthorne both of which are available for download for free via battle net all of the blizzard made warcraft starcraft and diablo games have a home on my computer alongside hearthstone and heroes of the storm if the question were which blizzard franchise was my favorite i would answer warcraft in a heartbeat it was introduced to me at a young age by the same person who introduced me to other core geeky fandoms such as star wars and magic the gathering warcraft orcs and humans introduced me to the rts genre warcraft ii is why i care about game story and lore not just in warcraft games but in every game i play warcraft iii showed me how awesome pre rendered cinematics could be thereby sparking my interest in the topic of video game creation world of warcraft is certainly the title i ve played the most but at times i miss the army vs army nature of its rts predecessors when world of warcraft was still in early development i remember seeing playable orcs dressed as grunts and humans dressed as footmen and found myself somehow attracted to the idea of playing the footman in a massively expansive rts world of course that s not at all how the mmorpg turned out but if it wasn t for that idea lodging itself in my head i likely would have passed on the monthly subscription fee i think in the end i m going to have to go with warcraft ii as being my favorite blizzard title the beyond the dark portal expansion pack edges out the original tides of darkness if i have to pick between them it s old and dated and no longer nearly as much fun to play after having experienced the massive ui and ai advancements made in warcraft iii and starcraft ii but everything i like about warcraft games can be traced back to those titles i became interested in warcraft lore because the warcraft ii introduced me to characters like anduin lothar turalyon kurdran and sky ree the first video game cinematic that ever hooked me in was the warcraft ii cinematic involving the catapult and zeppelin warcraft ii is what drew me to the paladin archetype and where i became enamored with gryphons so yeah it s more about nostalgia than anything else but if i had to pick that would be my answer posted by gryphonheart at 8 00 am 0 comments labels blizzard watch breakfast topic warcraft tuesday february 10 2015 to answer the question lingering in the air a witch turned me into a newt i got better on a more serious note if you re wondering where i ve been since late 2013 i ve been working alongside several other feathermoon realm rpers to co host and edit the feathermap podcast a small podcast that covers topics relating to rp on our realm feel free to check it out if that kind of thing interests you a new episode in which we delve into the lore found in the shadowmoon valley frostfire ridge gorgrond and talador zones just came out and should be available here posted by gryphonheart at 8 00 am 0 comments labels feathermap podcast personal roleplay warcraft warlords of draenor monday february 9 2015 how to city hop efficiently world events like love is in the air and pilgrim s bounty can be exhausting they ask you to trek across the globe on a daily basis visiting each of your faction s capital cities in order to maximize your chances of getting whichever event rewards you re after without a mage to open portals for you this might seem like a monumental task but it s not as difficult as it initially appears first of all it s best to start at one of the faction cities furthest from stormwind city or orgrimmar either darnassus or exodar for alliance or undercity or silvermoon city for horde will work since each pair has a mechanism to quickly travel to the other city a portal between darnassus and exodar and a teleportation orb between undercity and silvermoon once you ve completed tasks in both cities take the portal to hellfire peninsula near the portal trainers in any city once past the loading screen you ll find yourself standing right in front of a portal to stormwind city or orgrimmar just turn around and hop through the portal and that s 3 cities down 1 to go from stormwind or orgrimmar make your way to ironforge or thunder bluff it doesn t matter much whether it s by tram zepplin flight master or hearthing to a shrine or ashran and taking the portal to the final city and if you need to get back to stormwind or orgrimmar the route through the hellfire peninsula portals is always open posted by gryphonheart at 8 00 am 0 comments labels warcraft saturday february 7 2015 farm up lovely charms surprise they re made of spiders if you didn t read the title of this post to the tune of the lucky charms jingle i am horribly horribly disappointed in you p the love is in the air world event is approaching its halfway mark and if you re after all of the pets and toys and achievements you ll probably need a ton of love tokens and that means farming up lovely charms after all each character can turn in up to 4 lovely charm bracelets per day for 5 love tokens each one per each of your faction s city leaders and then each additional bracelet can be traded for a single token now there are lots of places where you can farm up lovely charms wowhead has a list of good farming spots written by elvinelol but i think i ve found a decent place that s not on the list deathweb hollow here there be spiders deathweb hollow is full of spiders lots and lots of spiders also there are clusters of spider eggs that spew out a handful of small baby spiders when stepped on all of these mobs which in case you forgot are spiders are level 95 so level 100 characters can kill them relatively easily while still qualifying for lovely charm drops they also award bodyguard reputation if you happen to keep a bodyguard around presumably to guard your body from all the spiders additionally there are two rare mobs in the area both spiders if you couldn t guess klikixx and taladorantula klikixx is inside the cave in the hollow at the end of the upper path a path conveniently filled with dozens of spider egg sacks which you can pop for tons and tons of potentially lovely charm yielding kills taladorantula on the other hand must be summoned in the clearing just up the hill past the cave entrance how by squashing dozens and dozens of baby spiders of course sadly these spiders don t qualify as proper kills since simply running over them will squash them but the many adds summoned by taladorantula do count and are quite easy to one shot still not sold okay i don t blame you but look just kill lots and lots of baby spiders with fire and tie their corpses into bracelets then hand those to your faction leaders i m sure they ll appreciate it what could possibly go wrong posted by gryphonheart at 8 00 am 0 comments labels holiday warcraft warlords of draenor friday february 6 2015 yesterday blizzard watch reported that the warlords of draenor soundtrack was nominated for an international film music critics association award for best original score for a video game or interactive media and i wholeheartedly agree that the nomination is well deserved this expansion s music has been nothing short of stunning however as amazing as the warlords of draenor music is there is and always shall be one song that epitomizes warcraft music in my mind echoes of the past this incarnation of the track originally appeared in warcraft iii i believe but failed to make it onto the warcraft iii reign of chaos collector s edition soundtrack it was however included in the original world of warcraft collector s edition soundtrack even though it didn t make it into the mmo until the caverns of time old hillsbrad foothills instance was introduced in the burning crusade in any case there s just something inherent to the interplay of percussion and woodwinds that makes it the first thing i that pops into my head whenever warcraft music is brought up i m just really sad that blizzard missed the opportunity to update the track and call it echoes of the alternate timeline past p anyway i m going to go listen to the song on repeat for the next few hours because it s just that good posted by gryphonheart at 8 00 am 0 comments labels blizzard watch soundtrack warcraft warlords of draenor wednesday february 4 2015 wow insider is dead long live blizzard watch it s probably somewhat telling that when i first found out that wow insider was closing its virtual doors it was through a blog that wasn t wow insider itself over the years i d lost interest in most of its posts opinion pieces know your lore and the archivist were pretty much the only articles i regularly read from that site and even then usually quite a while after their publication thus it came as something of a surprise to realize how sad i was to see it go and a significant relief to find out that the former wow insider staff aren t dispersing into the wind but rather sticking together to create the new blizzard watch site i m genuinely excited to see where they ll take the new blog especially if they embrace their new identity and expand to regular coverage of other blizzard titles i get the feeling i m going to be reading a lot more of their columns from now on posted by gryphonheart at 8 00 am 0 comments labels blizzard watch wow insider wednesday august 7 2013 connected realms is blizzard illidan prepared yesterday in a discussion amongst my fellow feathermooninites about blizzard s upcoming connected realms feature and what it means for our realm my friend and former raid leader linked to the realm pop website that gathers and analyzes data to attempt to create a census of the various different world of warcraft realms it s a pretty nifty site and it starkly shows why a feature such as connected realms is so desperately needed when you compare the most character heavy realm in the north american server set tichondrius which has 235 000 characters to the least populated one chromaggus which has only 16 000 characters judging by population numbers alone it seems unlikely that my realm of feathermoon will undergo connection to another realm since it s solidly a medium population realm that is within the top 20 of realms in terms of character population however realm population isn t necessarily the only consideration for connected realms according to blizzard s mini faq underline mine q which realms will be connected as connected realms a we haven t decided yet which realms will be made part of a connected realm or which other realms they ll be connected to though realms will only be connected to other realms of the same type e g pve to pve pvp to pvp rp to rp in the end we re considering a number of factors including battlegroup population and faction balance the faction balance portion of that statement is relevant because it brings up the illidan problem illidan is the second most populous realm with 213 000 characters but is also the second most faction skewed realm with horde characters comprising a full 200 000 of that 213 000 total a 15 horde 1 alliance character ratio so what does blizzard do in this case does blizzard decide to ignore illidan s extreme faction imbalance when it comes to connecting realms or does blizzard connect illidan to one or likely more alliance heavy realms to mitigate the difference if blizzard decides to use this opportunity of creating connected realms to try to solve illidan s faction woes then i d expect blizzard to aim for at least 350 000 characters or so for illidan s connected realm cluster which is significantly larger than the previously mentioned tichondrius 235 000 characters in such a scenario this wou...
