Gold sinks for the win

edit: The Warcraft Econ site is really worth reading. Quite interesting stuff mentioned there =)

I highly doubt I ever get that mammoth. :P Not even if I had 200k gold, hehe....well a small maybe then. It's so big it's annoying. Saw some in the beta, hehe.
But the vendor sure is cool, hehe. Guess you need to be in grp/raid to be able to use vendor?

No, you do not need to be in a group to use the vendors. But if you want to take passengers with you, you will have to invite them in group/raid.

Can I just request that US or EU specific news to be made more clear in news posts? Like with free character transfer, I can't figure when its EU and when its US.
It would really help, since I know that many people from both EU and US browse this site

Nice little video. However I don't understand how they can ask 2 k gold for a Swift blue wyvern ... since it's exactly the same as the purple one with blue skin ( which cost 200 g ).

I presume it's a Typo.

Sure thing.

I changed the header to Free WoW-US Character Moves - Nov. 10th, 2008 and will follow that theme for site-specific announcements in the future.

Same thing for Alliance, really -- you get an armored version of a cheap mount for 2k gold.

To me it's pretty clear that it's US. Mostly because the link they wrote is www.worldofwarcraft.com and not www.wow-europe.com .
And iirc, WoR are pretty good in defining it all other times. But I guess it can be better in some way.

Thanks, its a minor thing, but it makes it a lot easier when Im just looking through the news, since Im usually just skipping the US specific news

Nice video. I like the fact that the Mammoth does not sound as horrible as Elekk`s. But I probably will not get it since I cannot imagine myself having 20k gold to spare, especially now that I will be playing very casually.

Still, I might buy that bear mount. Cheap enough and it looks good.

The ring that sells for 8500 gold could get exchanged pretty early. 10-man Naxx drops an equal ring and 25-man drop an even better ring.
So my advice is not to buy it, hehe.

But still, you won't be able to have a free HS to Dalaran if you ignore buying it which the 8500 gold ring got, hehe. But for that price I could ask a mage about 2000 times for a portal.

Well, you won't always have a mage everywhere that you'll want to put that to use, though.

Hehe, true. But my HS will most likely be in Dalaran and I will find a mage there. Most of the time.

I wonder if Shattrath will have a portal to Dalaran. If that is the case, I will have my Medallion of Karabor serve as a good way to get to Dalaran.
