• MRWOWGOLD.COM THE EPILOGUE: SIR, YOU ARE NO GENTLEMAN (4/4)

  
  WoW Gold Facts — Authority: 123
  Three emails sent and still no reply. I changed my PayPal password. I checked the balance. Like every 5 effing minutes to see if anything had been siphoned without my knowledge. Tlktck’s warning about Spyware in MrWoWGold’s website still has me on edge. He’s pretty confident about his claim. I’m not so ...

  the commune — Authority: 474
  by David Broder London’s Camden Centre was packed to the rafters on Saturday for the RMT conference on working-class political representation. The enthusiasm of its participants was, lamentably, much at odds with the dire initiative likely to be spawned by the event. While RMT has conference policy to ...

  The Ancient Gaming Noob — Authority: 424
  Where is Darren when we need him? Surely this will bring him back for another post ! Yes, Blizzard has turned that corner at last and is now selling in-game items for real life money.  No more buying trading cards… well, actually, you’ll probably still have to do that if you want every possible item… the ...

• Little more Dragon Age, and some DDO F2P thoughts.

  
  Hardcore Casual — Authority: 511
  As I stated in my Dragon Age review, I was very impressed with the combat engine when, after finally defeating the first boss, one of my characters jumped on him and put his sword through the Ogre’s skull. All of this was done in slow motion, but in-game and without any delay. Yesterday as I was playing I had ...

Take all information off your paypal account NOW, and be more careful in the future." Oh heck no…. I still  haven’t received the gold. I ...

• I’m an Idiot

  
  The Grouchy Gamer — Authority: 98
  I may have used that title before, because let’s face it.. In my case it’s pretty recyclable. I’ve ranted here before about microtransactions, and the negative effects of RMT on today’s games.  I’m not a big fan.  But what I don’t like is the type of MT that gates or changes game play.  So when ...

• How many WoW pets does it take to forget China?

  
  Hardcore Casual — Authority: 511
  I guess when the government shuts you out, it’s time to sell some fluff in the pasture. And when the market smacks your stock around the bean counters demand action, and what better way then to charge for Barbie accessories, right? Next stop, true welfare epics.

• It’s a Pet Store not a Gear Store

  
  World of Matticus — Authority: 530
  Blizzard’s opened up the virtual pet store where you can purchase the first of several pets to come. I don’t actually know this, but I’m fairly certain we’ll be seeing more purchasable pets later. What’s the big deal? In a nutshell, the micro-transaction MMO model involves consumers paying for certain ...

  Still trying to shake off the anger triggered by those death threats written ostensibly by a MyGameSale person .  Didn’t tell my GF or anyone in the fam about it. Cletus and Remus are livid. What they said about the whole thing is unprintable and might trigger readers - especially those of Oriental descent - to ...

• Champions: Store Matters

  
  Lagwar.com — Authority: 426
  I don’t care for the Champions store.  I am an old school AD&D player — 1970s style.  We earned our loot.  We earned our perks.  We worked for it.  Now the general argument seems to be that the C-Store’s RMT (real monetary transaction) system makes no change to the game equilibrium.  I come from a [...]
