A little bit of news for your day
30th April 2010
Honestly, I don’t know how the crew at Blizzard finds time to sleep with all of the stuff that they keep kicking out.
Less than a month after 3.3.2, where they add a whole new chapter to WotLK, they drop another patch creating a whole new aspect to the PvP mode. If you haven’t heard about it yet, they’ve added a new queue to the Battlegrounds called Random. It does just what you’d think it would and dumps you into a random field. That way there’s no time to prep, no time to try and plan a strategy. Obviously the same strategies that you’ve used on those fields before will work just fine, but you’ll have to be ready to respond on the fly for it.
I like the challenge the whole idea presents. The only thing I don’t like is that you have to be level 80 to use it. There are tons of great bonuses for winning in that mode and it kinda bugs me that only the top dogs get to play. Of course, this doesn’t mean anything if you just go and buy wow accounts like I do. It just makes life easier. Plus if you pull an Honorable Kill on any Battleground now, it’s double the Honor points, which means more trinkets for you.
Something else worth mentioning is a little event that you can’t buy wow accounts for. The 2010 WoW Arena Tournament is set to begin in May, and registration is already open. It’s going to be absolutely amazing! The reason bought accounts don’t matter is that you create a level 80 at the time of the tournament and get to deck them out with all of the epic gear you could possibly want. Infinite gold, and the ability to use that gold to buy just about anything you could possibly want, means that you get to build the ultimate toon that you’ve always wanted. Of course, you don’t get to keep it afterwards, but that’s not a big deal. If you win the regional invitationals you get $15,000, and the global invite’s grand prize is $75,000, and that’ll buy you just about anything you could possibly want, including a pimped out account.
So keep these things in mind so that you can take advantage of them. It’s pretty awesome times.
