Once at free WoW accounts I read over the “3 Easy” steps and decided to give it a go. The idea here is to sign up with a spam free survey company to which they have arranged members to earn wow accounts free. All you need is a valid verifiable email account to sign up with their sponser site. (I used an gmail email account I have created for online offers.) Once I was signed up, I visited the survey page a choose three simple 5 minute surveys to complete. I was done in 20 minutes. Once the surveys where completed, I choose to be rewarded with a 60 Day Subscription Card by mail. However, I should have chossen to be paid via PayPal, because I later learned the surveys pay $5 to $100 within 24hrs. (You can do 2-3 a day a make an extra $200 to $1500 a month, no bullshit!).

Anyways, in about 7 days I got my free 60-Day World of Warcraft Subscription card to my delight. I logged back in a completed a few more surveys to earn money for an alt account. Once you become a member, you can do this month after month to never have to pay for World of Warcraft again.

Needless to say, I was very impressed with the results and knew I had to share this with my many blog readers. I can assure you will be blown away with the results. But you may want to hurry, as I believe they are only accepting a limited number of new members.  Here is the link, give it a shot http://www.freewowaccount.net

The elaboration represents the 2nd for WoW, which up to now bears eleven million players. The expansion makes it in entirely extra areas (spare Communist China) by Nov eighteen.

“We’re looking forward to launching Wrath of the Lich King and finally giving World of Warcraft players a chance to take on Arthas and his minions,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment in an affirmation. “Until then, we’ll continue to refine and playtest the expansion content to make sure it provides a highly polished and entertaining experience.”

GameDaily describes that the expansion will come out 2 variations.

A stock version will include the game, and a Collector’s version will include a 208-page artistry volume; an exclusive in-game baby frost wyrm pet; a behind-the-scenes DVD; the official soundtrack; a mouse pad sporting a map of the continent of Northrend; and 2 WoW Trading Card Game March of the Legion starter decks. *deep breath*

There’s also 2 exclusive trading cards that will be gained  exclusively in the Collector’s version.

I thought I would share with those interested, a few more pictures I’ve collected since the last World of Warcraft Hentai post. Although I find a couple of dozen at a time, I try to weed out the crap and only post medium to high quality toons. If you have a collection you would like to share or can point to an online collection, please let me know. All credits will be given and much appreciated.

WoW Group Roles

The first issue of Warcraft group roles is to determine who will be doing what. The below list explains the roles of a group.

• Main Tank (MT):  A primary damge mitigater with high health, armor, and talents to reduce enemy damage or extend the ablity to survive. Equipment and abilities that add to a Main Tank’s defense and resilience are also vital, as these points reduce the chance of the character being critically hit (a major problem in higher level instances and Heroic Mode where criticals deal so much damage that healers rush to catch up). Warriros, Bear Druids, and Paladins are very good at this role.
• Secondary Tank or Off Tank: This is a character that grabs adds and monsters that peel onto casters and other softer targets. while the MT is busy keeping multiple  enemies engaged, a Secondary Tank focuses on any that slip through the cracks. Again, damage mitigation is a major role here, though higher DPS than a Main Tank is useful (for grabbing more aggro and possibly even killing the offending monster). Arms/Fury Warriors, Druids, and Paladins are the best for this task, though there are times when Hunter Pets, Rogues (using timers), and other classes can accomplish this. In high level areas, often only another protection specced Warrior can OT.
•  Main Assit (MA): Someone in the group needs to decide what creature to attack. In low-level groups, many people choose the Main Tank for this, but that changes over time. The MT needs to do many things to maintain aggro against many foes, and that sometimes involves switching targets frequently. The Main Assist should be a melee character that has the freedom to grab a single enemy and stick with it. Almost anyone can do this, but a melee character with high damage output is excellent. Be sure to have all gorup members from an /assist macro on the MA before the fighting begins. Arms/Fury Warriors and Rogues are amazing character to serve as the MA, though any person in the party can do this. In fact, high intelligence and quick thinking (from the player) are even more important than having the “best” character for the job.

• Marker: Any class can fill this role as it’s far more important that a fast and decisive player manage this. Having someone as Marker takes some of the responsibility from the Assit and Crowd Control characters. Use the Raid Icons to mark each mob to be controlled and have a planned killing order.
• Rezzer: World of Warcraft Priest, Shamans, and Paladins are very good rezzers. These are people who get Soulstoned if there is a Warlock around, and they are chosen because they can pull the rest of the group back from a wipe. Paladins also have the ability to use Divine Intervention on another player: this puts the person out of combat, but it clears all the aggro from them. If the person is doomed to lose, the Paladin can use this option to have one person survive the encounter while the monsters strike home. Make sure the person saved is a Rezzer for the most effect! If there aren’t Warlocks around, it is very good to have characters in a group that can self-rez (be sure to have Ankhs for your Shamans). These characters are prepared so that a group can return from a wipe without having to travel through the entire instance again and possibly facing respawns. This can be the same person as the primary healer.
• Primary Healer or Main Healer: Primary Healers should be characters that are dedicated to keeping the group going and almost ignoring damage output. WoW Priest are perceived as the shining light of this role, but equipment specialization and Talent choices make even more of a different. Shamans and Druids that focus on Restoration builds can serve very well as Primary Healers. Warcraft Priest with Shadow builds instead are far better at healing in a secondary role (by keeping everyone topped off.)
• Secondary Healer: World of Warcraft Secondary Healers switch between offense and healing as the group needs. Shaman, Paladins, Shadow Priest, and Druids are all able to move between these roles fluidly making them ideal for healing the Primary Healer or jumping in to heal when the Primary Healer is out of mana or has too much  to do at once.
• Support: Support characters add various levels of protection functionality to a group. WoW Warlocks are able to deal damage, use Soulstones for wipe insurance, summon wayward characters, and so forth. Hunters can be dealing heavy damage, use their pets to act as a Secondary Tank, detect and defeat stealth, find monsters or enemy players with their Tracking, and hit troublesome targets at great range WITH staying power.
• Crowd Control: WoW Crowd Control abilities are used to keep enemies out of battle for a substantial duration. This involves using abilities that Stun, Fear, Snare, Root, or otherwise disable the target. In-combat Crowd Control offers the most tactical advantage, as it can be used repeatedly throughout an engagement (sometime on the same target and sometimes on new targets as the situation permits). Out-of-combat Crowd Control such as Sap, must be prepared ahead of time and cannot be renewed during a skirmish. Raid are built so that Crowd Control is often impossible (there are very few enemies and all are supposed to be dealt with simultaneously through complex strategies). Groups, however, are challenged by facing proportionately more targets! Crowd control is life in higher dungeons. Many classes have some form of Crowd Control. Your duty is to understand what your class is capable of doing to stop enemies from hurting the group. Then, you must master the timing and effectiveness of these abilities.
• DPS: Damage Per Second characters are purely intended to get involved int he battle and use their skills, mana, etc. to destroy ememies. Once the necessary roles for a group are filled out. DPS characters are chosen to fill the remaining slots. Rogues, Hunters, Mages, Warlocks, and Arms/Fury Warriors are very good for this.

Selecting and Handling a World of Warcraft Roles

Not every gorup has to have people taking care of every role. At the same time, some haracters are likely to fill multiple roles at the same time or be able to switch comfortably between roles. Rogues are going to act as Crowd Control characters before some fights begin, then switch into a DPS or Assist role after the good Sapping is done. A Holy/Dis Priest would likely be the Rezzer for the group and the Primary Healer; that same Priest could also serve as additional Crowd Control during pulls with Undead or when an AoE Fear is needed.

Some of these roles won’t even be defined by a party leader or a conversation. People are somewhat expected to understand their place in a group and act accordingly. If you are the only tanking class in a party, it is expected that you will be a damage mitigater. Unless someone says otherwise, step up and declare that you are going to be the Main Tank. Put on your high defense, Resilience,a nd general survivability gear and get ready for fun.

If it seems like someone is off from their role (e.g. Priest without healing backup is nuking all the time and spending 50% of their mana of damage), consider whether this is a problem. If a group is blowing through targets and there aren’t deaths or near-deaths, let things slide. Better to kill quickly and have a good time. However, if deaths are occuring and it seems like there is a weakness in the groups dynamic, ask people to take on more of a needed role.

To Warrior: The healers are getting a lot of aggro from keeping you alive; could you put away your two-hander and switch to your tanking gear?

To Priest: Could you save more mana for healing? We’ve got the DPS handled and our healers are going OOm (out of mana) a bit often.

Sample World of Warcraft Groups

Do not let your group decisions be guided purely by standards: there are many successful parties that form with an odd combination of abilities (skill and fun are still far more important than format)! That said, the standard party layout can be quite effective, and it’s good to know where to start if you have no idea what to put together.

The goup above is almsot out of a textbook for a DPS group. There is a very solid tank who will only contribute some damage, and the Priest is going to be too busy to add much, but there are three good DPS classes in the mix. There is potential for Sap, Polymorph, Freezing Traps, and Mind Control all in the same pulls, so there is plenty of crowd control to enjoy. DPS groups are good for blowing through instances of equal or lower levels at high speed (great for farming, great for having fun). The biggest weakness of DPS groups comes when they hit new content, as having a single healer means that one mistake can easily lead to a wipe when it involved losing your only healer.

This group stacks on survivability from every angle; it’s probably more than they need for most challenges. There is a major healer in the mix, and there are two backup healers as well (the main tank won’t usually be able to do much healing, but if something goes wrong they can try to get aggro back by healing while saving the character that is taking damage).

The technique involves grinding Saltwater Snapjaw’s just outside of the Horde town of , in the Hinterlands. These mobs do have high armor, but their low DPS and neutral status makes them prime gold grinding/xp targets.

For gold focus on the turtles skin for highly sought after thick leather, rugged leather and turtle scales. Also collect their relatively high value vendor trash (grey), greens and blue items drops.

Sample Drops

Vendor:

Thick Scaly Tail

Speckled Shell Fragment

Big-mouth Clam

        (for meat, and gold pearls)

Leather:

Thick Leather

Rugged Leather

Turtle Scale

Blue Items:

Serpent Slicer

Wand of Allistarj

Skull Splitting Crossbow

and more..

Depending on your server, the turtle scales should sell between 3g to 20g per stack, the rugged leather should sell for 2g to 25g per stack, the thick leather 1g to 10g, and golden pearls (from clams) for 5g to 20g. Add in the vendor trash and recipe, meat, magic and superior items and you can see how quickly the WoW Gold can add up.

Wrap Up: An hour grind here should net you somewhere between 50 to 70 gold on the low side, 120g to 150g per hour high side.

**The only way to make the most out of any gold grind, is to know what every item is worth. Not just to the vendors, but to other players. And with hundreds of thousands of World of Warcraft in-game items, this can be quite taxing.  That is why I always reference a quality gold guide. A guide like Gold Secrets, who’s information is invaluable. I have a printed version next to me now and keep it with me whenever I’m grinding. The most current version is consitently making me 225+ gold per hour. Do yourself a favor a download yourself a copy. It will save you countless hours of grinding gold, by eliminating the learning curve and putting you in the money almost instantly. You can download your version by clicking here…
