It appears my synopsis of the changes that they’d planned on making to the beginnings of EQ2 was truly an understatement. It seems that they had even bigger plans in mind. They weren’t just planning to update a few little areas, they overhauled the whole structure of the game itself.

Here’s the gist of things.

Those of us who have been paying the $15 monthly will still enjoy everything we’ve had access to up until now. There will be no change whatsoever because we’re grandfathered in as vets. New players will have some choices to make.

They can take a free option and get some really basic access to the game. There will only be a few options available for races and classes, only one character slot available, and other such restrictions. The biggest one to affect anyone who would buy wow account is that there would be a maximum enforced on how much you can hold.

Next you have a Silver level that allows more freedom, an extra character slot, and some more room for plat and other things. This is designed as a one time purchase for people more serious about playing that the average free player but not quite into as much as the truly hardcore.

After that comes Gold. That’s roughly equivalent to what we have now as paying members. There are still some limits on starting races, but you can buy them separately. You can use legendary items and other such important things. Plus there’s plenty of room if you were looking to buy wow account. That will give you just about everything except the content available in Sentinel’s Fate. Once you buy that, though, you’re covered.

Then comes the choice for the truly hardcore. The Platinum membership is not for the weak of heart or the empty of wallet. It’s $200 per year which kinda will cut into any plat buying around the time it’s taken, but you get benefits galore for it. It includes everything. By that I mean all content, including Sentienel’s Fate, all of the possible races and classes, EVERYTHING. It’s a lot to pay, but it will be worth every penny. I’m not opposed to the idea, although affording it is going to be… interesting at best.

I’m more for sticking with the monthly membership I have. It’s easier to budget and I won’t gain anything I don’t already have.

Last time I talked to you about some do’s and don’ts to keep in mind after you’ve made a buy. I realized later that I’m really doing this backwards, because you have to safely get to the point where you’ve bought the plat before you have to worry about that stuff. It’s all still valid, you just need a few tips to get you safely into the plat before you have to worry about what to avoid when it’s in hand.

Some of you are veterans and don’t need me telling you anything. In that case, feel free to stop reading and tune in next time, same bat time, same bat channel. For the rest of you, read on.

If you’re going to buy wow account, do some research first. Google to get a few sites that look good, then google them to see if they’re actually legit. The review information on any given site is rarely accurate because they can tailor it to whatever they want. You need good third party information. This can be a lengthy process because you need to weed out the flamers to get some really good insight into what a site is like.

This all leads me to point two: check for credentials. Most of the really good sites out there have been looked at by industry experts and rated. Take Toonstorm.com for example. They’ve consistently gotten excellent ratings from Bizrate and others over the years. For those of you who don’t know, Bizrate is an independant group that provides consumer ratings on a variety of products. They’re very reliable and extremely informative.

Next, try to stay local. While sites located outside the US can have some really great deals, there’s always the risk that they’ll take your money and run. There’s no real oversight on that sort of business. If they’re located within the US, they’re bound to US business laws and are easy enough and safe enough to work with. Besides, no one wants to see a repeat of what happened when Buy WoW Account dropped their 3.1 patch and nailed all of the Chinese outfits on the market.

Finally, only use sites that take easily-tracked payments. If they insist on money orders, you may as well be burning the cash. Credit cards and Paypal are perfectly safe for plat buyers no matter what claims they try to make.

I really hope this helps everyone.

Hello again, guys and gals! I had a wonderful Christmas vacation—full of the the 3 F’s, family, friends, and food— and I hope you did, too. I’ve been super busy but I’m back and wanted to share this interesting bit of news that came out recently regarding the buy wow account player population. There was a study of thousands of  wow account players, and it found to everyone’s surprise that females made up 40% of the player base. This is good news for all the girl gamers out there who resent the stereotype that all mmorpg players are overweight white guys, and really, good news for gamers in general. A study like this shows people outside the gaming sphere that there is a real variety of people playing these games, and not all of them fit the stereotype.

A BBC article on the study said that while single-player games of the past were certainly more popular with males, the new trend in social online games has a strong attraction for women. That doesn’t mean that gaming has become a mainstream activity, however, and one statistic in particular demonstrates that the women playing the game are not locked into traditional gender roles—the percentage of women surveyed who identified themselves as bisexual was over 5 times the estimated percentage in the general population.

Perhaps not surprisingly, a large portion of the women said that they played with a significant other, and played more for social reasons than to win. The times, they are a’changin’! And for the beter, if you ask me! So here’s to all you gamers out there, and this week, a special nod to the ladies. Stay tuned for buy wow account reviews and all that good stuff next time…and have a happy and safe New Year’s!
