The Overpull - "Micro-transactions + WoW = ???"

Posted November 10th, 2009 by Xerin

Pets for sale? What will Blizzard think of next!

The Overpull, our World of Warcraft newsletter, is here again this week filled with news, blues clues, and more. We've got talk about WoW turning to micro-transactions, the awesome Tirion leader of that tournament in front of Arthas's house, a WoW related comic, and all of this week's WoW news. Join us each week as we bring The Overpull online and in your inbox.

They capture the orc and strip Tirion of his paladin powers (not that u.i. mod no one would take pally power from Tirion he’d go nuts trying to buff his own army), rank, and everything and told him to go be a hermit. Before he’s ready to hermit it up he frees Eitrigg who meets up with Thrall who’s like yo we cool shaman orcs not crazy warrior orcs and he’s like aight I’ll join up. Tirion loses his family, his home, and everything. So he goes to that shack in EPL and chills eating worm meat and looking at his horse.

Issue 40 of The Overpull is out and awaits you to read.

I think Blizzard knows if they start doing such MTs they will lose a good percentage of the game. People already complain enough about "welfare epics" and the like so doing it where you could buy Badges of Triumph or such would just be an act of desperation. The pets do not give you an advantage in any shape or form and really none of the other character customization features do as well - maybe changing to Human for the Every Man For Himself racial in PVP but that's about it.

None of the current micro-transactions give anyone who uses them an advantage over you so they aren't a problem right now.

I liked this weeks lore corner.

So did I but I guess people prefer commenting on the title topic...even if the comments are echos of what's been said in another thread.

Maybe you should title the weeks Overpull on something other than the weeks forum thread.

I'm really thinking the lore corner is the best corner and I agree, I think I should just make it the focus and the weekly question a short link to whatever big thread is going.

Thoughts?
