world of warcraft join my guild

I know what you're thinking! "If anyone could write up a scandalous exposé of what working at Blizzard is really like, it'd be our old pal Mike. I bet he's got the inside scoop of what goes on at Big Blue behind closed doors. I paid for the whole seat but I'll only need the edge."

Yeah, well. I'm going to disappoint you here and instead link you to an article from the OC Register, longtime reporter of all news Blizzard given the company's stature in the SoCal business world. They interviewed Blizzard COO Paul Sams about the studio's recent award of "One of the best places to work in Orange County" and why that award was deserved.

And deserved it was, apparently! Big Paul talks about some of the luxuries afforded to employees at the majestic Blizzard Campus in Irvine, including an on-site chiropractor, valet parking, basketball courts, free swag, a subsidized cafeteria, and the opportunity to work within a few hundred feet of a twelve-foot-tall bronze statue of an orc riding a wolf. Lest we forget, of course, all that is on top of the already-nice benefits package given to all employees.

Is stuff like health insurance a little too plebeian for you? I understand. You're looking for something a little more metal. And metal your rewards shall be, provided you stick around for five years or more. Five-year veterans receive an honest-to-goodness sword (it's different every year); employees of a decade get a shield emblazoned with the paladin logo; and, if you're there for fifteen years, you get a platinum ring.

Five, ten, fifteen years -- they might seem like a long time, but Blizzard inspires a certain kind of loyalty in a person, when your company is headed by someone like Mike Morhaime, it's easy to want to stick around. I can attest to that.

In what can only be called a cruel injustice, I never actually got to experience the new Blizzard Campus, as I opted to relocate to the newer Austin location before the Campus was built. The Austin building was sorely lacking in things like giant musclebound green guys on animals, but that void was filled somewhat by the much more affordable cost of living deep in the heart of Texas. Sometimes, though, I'd have waking dreams, sobbing and reaching out longingly at ethereal worg statues.

Most of the time here on Ask WoW Insider, we ask ethical questions of you, the readers, or sometimes we'll ask what you think of certain game mechanics. But this time, we've got an aesthetic question instead, from reader Lindelan.

Let me say first that Wrath is awesome!! I LOVE it! One of my favorite things is the way they designed the new armor. That being said, one thing that has absolutely started to drive me crazy is the lack of diversity in armor! I can understand having the same models while leveling, however the fact that level 80 blues look just like the blues I got at 71 is just plain lazy! Has anyone else noticed this, and do you guys think Blizzard will step it up in the future?

This is an interesting issue -- Blizzard got some flak in Outland for the gear being a bit too colorful. "Clown" was a word that was used pretty often, thanks to all the glowing and neon extras that came on our gear last expansion. And in Northrend, we fortunately haven't had that problem: the gear looks a little more badass, made up of dark steel and leather with pointy and ragged spikes on it.

But have we gone too far the other way? Does all of the gear look the same now? Personally, I just miss my Hunter's mail kilt from the Argent Dawn world event rewards, but I think the gear has been much better looking in Northrend. I'm just happy none of it is pink, so if I have to choose between dark blue or straight black, that's a choice I'm happy to make. What do you think?

The elders spoke of a day when great, sweeping changes would come to us Shamans. A day when ou cheap wow gold r command of the elements would become unsurpassed and we would harness power like never seen on Azeroth (kind of like Retadins). Today, my friends, is not that day. In fact, today may well be any other day for Shamans because Patch 3.0.3 is about as un buy warcraft gold derwhelming as it gets with regards to changes to the class. Let's see... we have a Lava Burst damage increase, which means jack to us because we on buy cheap wow gold ly train for the spell at Level 75. Speaking of which, Storm Reach was renamed to Elemental Reach because it now affects... Lava Burst.

There are also things we know are coming but aren't here yet... but those are spoilers, so we won't go into detail.

From today we have doubled (in some cases tripled) the flexibility of the cheap runescape gold player trade system.

This was added to the game because we wanted to offer our players more flexibi Runescape Powerleveling lity when trading o Runescape Powerleveling r helping friends out, without increasing the threat of real-world trading. Mod Mark Lead Designer - RuneScape Note: Currently there are only 269 quest points available in the game, so no player will be able to reach the 60,000 coin margin until our next quest update, scheduled for a few weeks' time. The trade margin does scale up to that, though, so players a few quest points short of 270 will have a trade margin only slightly below it.
