Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos 

 

(often referred to as War3 or WC3 or RoC) is a real-time strategy computer game released by Blizzard Entertainment on July 3, 2002 (US). It is the second sequel to Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, and it is the third game set in the Warcraft Universe. An expansion pack, The Frozen Throne, was released on July 1, 2003 (US).

Warcraft III contains four playable races:[1] Humans and Orcs, which had previously appeared in Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, and the Night Elves and Undead, which are new to the Warcraft mythos.[2] Warcraft III's single-player campaign is laid out similarly to that ofStarCraft (another Blizzard game), being told through all four of the game's races in a progressive manner. In the expansion there are two additional races: the Draenei, a race of eredar who are cursed to be abominations, and the Naga, a race of vile serpents and other creatures that come from the depths of the sea. Multiplayer mode allows for play against other people, via the internet, instead of playing against computer-controlled characters as is done in the single-player custom game mode. Due to the dual storylines of the previous Warcraft games, the story can only be understood if using the proper storylines of one of the campaigns in the previous games, being the Orc Campaign on Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and the Human Campaigns on both the Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal.

The game proved to be one of the most anticipated and popular computer game releases ever, with 4.5 million units shipped to retail stores and over one million units sold within a month.[3] Warcraft III won many awards including "Game of the Year" from more than six different publications.[4]

The events played out in Warcraft III eventually set the stage for Blizzard's first MMORPGWorld of Warcraft, and its subsequent expansions. Zygor Leveling Guides

Yes, here I go mentioning SEO again -- that magic three-letter abbreviation we hear often. Easy SEO techniques can help online article writers significantly. If you haven't heard of SEO or if you haven't heeded

  the advice, as an online article writer, you likely are losing out big time. A large portion of Internet traffic comes via search engines, namely Google. If you expect search engines to find your content and deliver it in search results, you need to talk their language -- SEO. Because we're talking simple, this is not a complete SEO guide. But here are some easy SEO techniques you can incorporate right away to help increase traffic.

Easy SEO Techniques for Online Article Writers: Keyphrases in Key Areas
One of the main aspects of SEO is placement of keyphrases. Keyphrases of an article should be something people would search for to find info provided in the article. Keyphrases for this article include 'easy SEO techniques' and 'online article writers.' Keyphrases should generally be included once in the title, once in the first couple sentences, once more in the first paragraph if it's longer, and then once or twice every following paragraph (depending on length). If your article uses subheadings, placing keyphrases within those adds to this easy SEO technique. 

Wait, before we move on, does this seem to go against what you'd consider good writing (especially you long-time writers) to repeat certain phrases so often? Understandable. If you are writing purely for self-satisfaction, forget these easy SEO techniques. But if you want to make money as an online article writer, SEO is a must.

Easy SEO Techniques for Online Article Writers: Focus, Focus, Focus
Focusing clearly on the subject at hand is a very easy SEO technique. Not only should online article writers focus in on the subject without rambling, but one specific aspect of that topic. For instance, the subject of this article is 'techniques for online article writers.' For focus, it was narrowed down to 'SEO techniques,' and more specifically, 'easy' SEO techniques.

So far my previous posts have outlined what Dugi’s Ultimate WoW Guide consists of and what this leveling guide claims to assist World of Warcraft gamers with. This post will focus primarily on my most recent practical experience and usage of this leveling guide. As mentioned in my previous posts Dugi’s Ultimate WoW Guide is intended to give users a comprehensive system to level up their character from 1 – 80, although you don’t have to start from level one, this leveling guide will work regardless of your skill level or where your character is currently at level wise. Being that I am a complete newbie with this game my last statement holds a lot of validity.

As mentioned I am a beginner with World of Warcraft so not wasting anytime I immediately began to use this leveling guide. Once I got through the videos and installation process I was off to the races and begun my journey. From my observation Dugi’s Ultimate WoW Guide consists of three major parts or sections. First thing first I setup the leveling in-game add-on which to me really helped because I did not have switch back and forth between game and guide. As a Beginning this was nice because toggling between screens can be very time consuming and slow down game play and overall progress. once the installation was ready it configured itself to my character and navigating around was very easy, with the on screen marker and arrow that pointed me in the right direction once I selected a quest.

The second part of this Leveling Guide is all about acquiring gold, which is also another significant aspect of this game. Because I am new to the game I didn’t find it necessary to do any gold farming, reason being is that when leveling up to 80 there are more than enough opportunities to collect enough gold during the quests to get by comfortably. However once I get my character all the way to level 80 I’ll definitely be able to make more use of this part of the leveling guide. From what I can see the main point of the gold farmingsection of the guide is to show where to go to farm rare items.

The third section of the guide covers how to overcome and succeed in the PVP. It covers the types of battles and combat one can encounter and what must be done in order to win any race and class combination you may find yourself facing. This part has really helped me take a lot of the guess work out the game, saving me some much needed time.

So my conclusion to my little review on Dugi’s Ultimate Wow Guide is simple, I went from 1 to 56 in about a week and a half, this is without spending copious amounts of time playing too. Although I am not yet up to level 80 I cannot imagine where I would be had I not of started of using this solid, well laid out leveling guide. So anyone looking to advance within the World of Warcraft game should heavily consider getting a hold of Dugi’s Ultimate Wow Guide. With their 60 day money back guarantee it seems like a no brainier.

f you're like me, your guild has taken an official break from its raid schedule for the Holiday season, and you've been given an opportunity to do whatever it is you want with your time.

 

What Have You Done With It?

I've had a very enjoyable holiday season, spending time with family and friends and getting a lot of personal projects done that have been waiting my attention for months.

The weather has been NASTY COLD for the past while, but when my brother and I travelled home to visit the folks for Christmas with family, the weather was quite a bit warmer (well, there's still snow on the ground but what can you hope for this far north?). I'm glad for warmer weather when I travel, because it gets really quite bitterly cold here.

Dad and I Leveling Lowbies

Dad and I have agreed upon a day to play together in the last couple of months, too, and except for that Monday when a patch was released a little while ago, we have been playing together for a few hours every Monday night.

Our little lowbies are now level 50s! We started this playing together thing around level 25 on these toons, and since playing with Dad is the only time I level this guy and we've been leveling pretty evenly (although I have BoA bonus exp), I'm assuming that he's only leveling with this character on Monday nights with me too.

It's been a lot of fun to play with Dad since he got started a year ago, but I sure do hope that the High Speed Internet radio tower that's been erected with the hope of it starting up this month (January) works properly where my folks are! Dad is an infinitely patient man to deal with the number of disconnects and "stranded in the city" issues he faces on his 56k modem.

ZOMG, if their high speed works properly, Dad and I might be able to have a CONVERSATION on vent while we play, without it all coming out choppy, and laggin the heck out of his game!

Gathering The Riches

Another thing I've done during the holidays is keep up with my Auction House rituals pretty well. I cleaned out my bags and have kept up with Gem and Cloth transmutes, and while I'm taking a relaxing break from lots of playing, many other players were playing their hearts out on their holiday time.

And of course, that means that many players are buying and selling in the Auction House. It's the cycle of life in World of Warcraft, the cycle that continues despite the fact that we, ourselves, aren't participating much in the cycle.

I figure, if there's one part of the Cycle I should keep my fingers in during the holidays or during raiding down-time, it's the Auction House cycle.

And it's certainly been paying off well! This screenshot was taken on December 29, and I was at 25k worth of savings at that time - this morning I put it back up over 30k after taking 1000 out for investing yesterday.

Gold Cap? Or Mechano Hogs For All?

One thing I love in online games is the whole "economy" thing.

I've always been good at earning money in games, and have a history of buying some of the most expensive, sought-after items with the fortunes I amass.

After all, after all of your professions are maxed out and you've got gems and enchants on all your toons 40+, and epic flying on everyone over 70, what else is there to do?

As of this writing, I've got one toon with a Traveller's Tundra Mammoth mount, and a different toon has a Mechano Hog mount. All five of my playing toons at 70 and above have Epic Flying. The lowbies, of course, have the now-incredibly-cheap lowbie mounts, but that doesn't even cost much anymore.

With the 30k in the bank I have, I could possibly squeeze out two more Mechano Hogs (or certainly within a week I'd be able to pay for all the mats), but I'm not sure if I'll actually do that.

It might be more fun to go for the Gold Cap and watch the money pile up.

If you were in my position, what would be your vote? Traveller Tundra Mounts for all raiders, and Mechano Hogs for all non-raider toons? Or Gold Cap?
