Interested in witnessing some real profession gaming? And I don't mean the kind where you learned to be "pro" in seven easy steps or by reading some guide....no I mean the real deal. The Intel Extreme Masters World Championship is being held in Hannover, Germany from March 2-4. If you are interested you can watch via video stream and see the WoW 3v3 Arena championships.

On March 2nd at midnight, Hayden Hawke is doing a promotional launch for her new Webpage version of the secret gold guide. The price will be dropped from $67 to $57 when you buy the PDF/Webpage Package and you also get 2 free additional bonuses with that package, Tom's Power Leveling Guide and the WoW Acronym Cheat Sheet.

There's another new guide on the market that I've recently had the opportunity to review, it's called Hit Gold Cap. This guide offers five modules which are designed to help players reach gold cap. Now before I go any further into what this guide provides and doesn't provide I'd like to stop and point out that I feel this guide is not worth buying!

I want to be the first to tell you about a brand new gold course that teaches you how to reach gold cap. That's right, good bye gold guides, hello gold course. When I first heard about this course I thought “what's the difference anyway” and now that I've gotten the course I can tell you that there is a world of difference.

Hayden's Gold Guide makes the claim that anyone can farm as much as 600g in an hour. I wanted to find out if this was for real so I used PayPal to buy the product. First I'll mention the checkout process was very friendly and I was promptly taken to a download area which gave access to 8 different guides ranging from professions, dual boxing and the gold guide itself. I've purchased several other similar guides and have been pretty disappointed when all I got was a chintzy gold guide (mind you, this one is far from chintzy, but we'll get to that in a minute.)

Games have become far too easy to play over the last decade and World of Warcraft is no exception. Do you remember a time when you actually had to participate in the games plot or use your brain to solve mysteries in games?

Early on here is what the blue post said for Mages when it came to upcoming changes with Patch 3.1

Improved Water Elemental – this talent has been removed and replaced with a new talent that grants Replenishment (similar to Shadow priests).
We are also working on a way to give frost mages Ice Lance “Shatter combos” in PvE.
We are also working on more survivability for Fire spec in PvP.
We are also working on making Spirit a more useful and interesting stat for all mages.

There are some really common questions that are going to come up when players are done upgrading to Wrath of the Lich King. They are sure to polute your trade and general channels and it might even be hard to get a striaght answer. Here are some of the questions we saw in the Wrath beta and our best attempts to answer them:

How do I get to Northrend?

Wrath of the Lich King is coming out, well, practically tomorrow! While many of you are going to create Death Knights and run around the Outlands for a week or so, you're going to end up level 70 eventually, and you're going to find yourself in places you've never been.

Yesterday we found out that Season 4 will be suspended with the release of Patch 3.0. A snapshot of rating will be used to reward end of season rewards but the season will continue. Today Nethaera gave us their promised 2 week notice for the ending of Season 4. Reasoning says that October 14th will not only be the end of Season 4 but also the release of Patch 3.0.
