Cheating in World of Warcraft

Here’s a quick tip for when you’re busy doing dailies, I especially noticed this in the Argent Dawn Tournament for “A Grand Melee” where you get one Valiant badge (you need 3) for defeating an opponent.

#1 Make sure your bags are full of stuff and can’t carry anymore additional items
#2 Pick up the quest “A Grand Melee” including several others you’d need if you’re doing reputation with other factions and the Argent Dawn
#3 Defeat 3 opponents. You’ll get a “Inventory Full” message each time
#4 Open up 1 slot in your bag
#5 Defeat 3 opponents again to get the Valiant badges needed to complete this quest

Following the above 5 steps, you’ll notice that Blizzard is kind enough to let their “Postmaster” send you the required items you needed for the quest “A Grand Melee” with a countdown timer of 24 hours. This of COURSE means that the next day when you log in (at the same time but I’ll recommend a few hours prior just to make sure) and you pick up the daily quest again, you’ll be able to hand in the quest immediately without having to struggle to get the item you need.

I assume this may work for any automatic “Place in your bag the item that’s required” type daily quest you may receive, but have only tested this cheat in the Argent Dawn daily, “A Grand Melee”

Chinese authority orders local WoW subscription partner to stop supporting popular MMORPG

A Chinese regulatory authority has ordered the country’s World of Warcraft licensing partner NetEase to immediately cease operating the game within the territory.

According to Reuters, the General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP) halted and returned a NetEase application to operate the game within China due to “gross violations” of regulations.

The agency also posted a statement on its website recently demanding that NetEase suspend charging users to play the game and to disallow new account registrations. This negatively affected both Activision Blizzard and NetEase share prices.

“Millions of Warcraft players will suffer the most,” said Leon Li, vice president of Chinese mobile Internet firm KongZhong told Reuters. “But if you take a long term view of the industry, many of these Warcraft gamers may migrate to other games, so for the other Chinese online game companies, it is a good thing.”

World of Warcraft currently has well over 10 million active users in its subscriber base. Eastern regions such as China, Japan and South Korea certainly account for a large number of the game’s users.
