Warcraft, whats it all about?

Is this the game Elky (Betrand Grospeiller first supernova elite on stars) used to play for a living in South Korea. How do you make money from it?

Hmmm it appears not, he used to play starcraft for a living in South Korea. Which appears to be similar but I know nothing about this kind of thing.

Yes, he was a sponsored pro. It's like a national sport over there.

From what I gather in WOW the longer & better you play you can accumulate weapons/artifacts, The Bottle Opener of Destruction, things like that which give you more power/abilities in the game. Some poeple are too lazy/greedy & will buy them off people, so there are players who actively hunt out & sell these virtual treasures.

Most money from WoW is made from selling gold.

Gold can buy you lots of things, epic items, flying mounts and more importantly repairs costs for your gear. It generally goes for 20-25 pounds for 1000g.

Money is also made from people selling accounts, if you character has very difficulty to get equipment and rare it can sell for alot.

Does the company behind WoW have a problem with real life trading? Jagex hates it.

In one extreme case, a player killed a fellow player who had stolen his virtual sword. The gamer received a suspended death sentence in June.

Yeah, but its really simple to sell your account on websites, buying gold also in theory could get you banned but in reality its also an accepted practice for many raiders who dont have time to farm cash.

W00t, just downloaded the 10 day trial - good so far, but how do I find out where I'm supposed to go for the quests?  I.e.  What direction?  I get them, but haven't a clue where to go

There is a handy addon called QuestHelper, this marks on the Map where to go and when, how to find items/bosses u need to kill. Makes life alot easier and leveling faster.

quest heloper is a great tool, get all your mods from a trusted site like www.curse.com, once you dowload any addons like QH unpack them in to the addons folder for WoW, although i think you only get the first 20 levels on the 10day trial, and welcome to the realms m8, and I am on the alonsus realm, if you set a toon up on alonsus gimme a should, i will probably be on my warlock Abera.
