[WoW] It’s BlizzCon Weekend!

As much as I would love to play all of the things – I just can’t. I can’t give games the time that I think they deserve (or that I think they deserve) when I’m bouncing all over the place. So for right now, let’s pretend that I’ve been playing and invested in World of Warcraft, even though I can’t say that there is any glimmer of truth in this (except when it comes to the gold making meta, still doing that).

This weekend is BlizzCon, and a lot of stuff was revealed, but not a lot of stuff for the game I currently (don’t) play. I think it’s going by the term ‘Modern’ right now. I have very little interest in Classic World of Warcraft, though I did play it VERY briefly.

This weekend, they announced World of Warcraft Forever. It took me a while to understand what that even meant. I think it’s a way for the team to deviate from the norm and create things that don’t have to follow some 20+ year timeline. The level cap will stay at 60, there’s new zones, new races, and a vanilla world of warcraft experiences – expanded.

Will I be any more interested in this version than the Classic version? Honestly? Maybe? It’s hard to tell. I do relish the idea of a World of Warcraft where there isn’t so much history to catch up to. One where I might be able to start over fresh on the EU Roleplay servers (the goal) without feeling ‘bad’ about leaving behind an entire account of goodies. It’s tempting. A slower pace, made for busy people. I did end up buying a copy of the edition (with gold) for both my NA and EU accounts, and I do want to check things out in beta. I don’t know that it will have any lasting affect on me, but we’ll see.

In the meantime, I’m also back to trying to find a gosh darned guild. I need a community. It’s what keeps me playing, and lacking that, I bounce around from game to game.

Still playing EverQuest Legends, too. I’ll be writing about that one soon(tm).

[WoW] Gold Making Wrap Up – Week 33 (2026)

I’m not quite back to posting on a regular schedule yet – but we’re making some progress! Sales were way up this week (compared to my usual) which I am sure is due to the latest update coming along and season 2 starting just around the corner (it has started at the time of this post, but had not started during week 33). The big sellers this week were recipes, someone must be working on filling out their crafters. I had a number of big recipe sales that added up to most of the gold earned.

A small handful of transmog rounded out the rest, and as you can see by the graph above, there were plenty of days I did not list my auctions for sale, but I’m slowly getting there.

I did also break 100,000,000 liquid gold this week, which was pretty neat. I am still working on being more consistent with my posting, it’s hard once you break your routine.

As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself!

[WoW] 100,000,000 Liquid Gold

I finally reached 100 million liquid gold in World of Warcraft. It was one of the goals I set for myself just before Midnight released, and it took a while but I got there. It probably would have been faster except that my Warcraft play time has been at an all time low, and I spent the first part of the expansion gifting a lot of things to a lot of people. What is the point of having all of this gold if I can’t spoil my friends, after all.

So what is the goal now that I’ve reached it? Well, I hope to earn enough to continue paying for my accounts + expansions + whatever else I want without having to dip into the stock. I also want to cap my bnet balance, although right now that takes less than 10 million. I know there are some things from the shop that I don’t have yet, but unless there’s some awesome player housing I don’t know that I will indulge. I just wanted to see if I could reach this goal, and I’m very glad I have. Keep in mind not all of this gold is from this year! I believe when I checked my TradeskillMaster ledger it told me that I had earned 88 million gold over the past 365 days. Also keep in mind that I’ve been making gold in World of Warcraft for a VERY long time. In fact, it will be 10 years using TSM + being a part of the gold making community. My number one tip for anyone who wants to make gold is always the same.

Consistency.

As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself.

[Warcraft] Gold Making – Week 46 (2025)

Well, I’m making another gold making post so that must mean that my ban was overturned. It was, but I was never given any explanation on why it happened to begin with, or even told if it was a false flagging. Instead it was a comment of “we have investigated, and decided to overturn the ban”. OK then. While I am incredibly grateful and happy to have my account back, it was also a very stressful week and some insight on how I can avoid this would have been nice (I realize this isn’t realistic, as they don’t want real RMT players bypassing rules, but for my own peace of mind it would have been nice).

Anyway. Back to gold making. This week was pretty nice, with just over 5 million made for the week. I had a couple of big ticket items sell, and I also started posting on 20 servers instead of 10. Remix has been slowing down and now it’s the anniversary of World of Warcraft and players are stumbling back into the light of retail.

Most of my sales this week came from patterns, although there were a few transmog hidden in there too. I did not see many / any pet sales, which is a bit unusual. I think there has been some confusion as to the future of battle pets and that might be slowing sales down a little bit, too.

In any case, it’s good to be making gold again. I hope everyone has a fantastic week, and I’ll see you in game. As always, happy gaming no matter where you find yourself!

[Warcraft] Gold Making – Week 45 (2025 Final post?)

For those who don’t know, earlier this week my account was banned for suspected RMT – now I can argue until I’m blue in the face that I have never participated in RMT before, but none of that matters unless an actual human person over at Blizzard takes a look at my case instead of their absolutely horrible AI system.

I do make a lot of gold. I do tend to gift a lot of expansions/game time/shop items to what might appear to be random people (and in some cases, are random people). I like to help people I see in need. I recently donated 10 million gold anonymously to Bears_Adventures for a future giveaway she was going to hold. I don’t know exactly what triggered my ban (Blizzard does not provide those details) but it could have been anything from the above mentioned giveaways to an actual RMT participant purchasing one of my auctions (how on earth I’m supposed to infer who is buying what of mine off of the AH, I have no idea).

This whole ordeal has left a sour taste in my mouth. I’ve done nothing wrong, tried to help those who need it, and was meticulous about following Blizzard’s own rules. Somehow, their system still got me. I did appeal, but the first one was shot down with some nonsensical reply that had nothing to do with anything I had written (leaving little doubt in my mind as to who was responding). I have appealed a second time, and reached out to Blizzard’s community team to try to get human eyes on the case. It could also have been something as simple as me transferring my own funds around between my accounts, which I tend to do. I am HOPING that this will be something that can be easily disproven, but again, it requires human interaction.

In any case. As you can tell by the tradeskillmaster ledger above, this was not a good week for gold making. I’ve been too scared to log in, because I don’t want anything to happen to my main account. Instead, I’m laying low and waiting.
