WoW News

NRP has a report on gold farming in China.

Playing online games for 12 hours is a fulltime job for thousands of Chinese workers. They’re accumulating virtual money — or “gold” — which they can sell for real cash. But it’s a dull and labor-intensive job with limited payoffs.

According to the interview, there’s a gap between what you get paid if your farm gold in the US or in China. If you do it in China, you expect at most $4 for 12 hours of work. In the US, the same gold gets you $13. I’m not sure the economics work like that but that’s what they said.

So if you want to buy cheap WoW gold, go to Shanghai!

Blizzard are done with the patch it seems. You can view the Black Temple trailer below:

There’s also an HD version of it here.

I know some of you are interested in purchasing WoW gold. I haven’t seen a reliable comparison of prices between vendors so far but this one seems pretty close.

Maybe someone could do a similar price comparison for powerleveling.
