PC - World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade - WoW Whore Has 36 Accounts, Raids by Himself Ripten writes:

"In what is perhaps the most shining example of obsession and geekiness I have ever seen, a fella by the name of Bradster has 36 World of WarCraft accounts that he plays on 11 computers simultaneously. He mainly seems to be doing it because he doesn't like to rely on so many other people to get a raid going, which includes attacking the Alliance capital cities, and on that front I can totally see where he's coming from.

Read on to see how this crazy man manages to control all of these characters."

PC - World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade - World of Warcraft: Premade Characaters on EU Realms Wrath of the Lich King beta testers on EU realms can at long last now make pre-made characters.

However, unlike the US premades, there is no separate realm purely for the fully decked-out characters; they will be sharing an already packed realm with the rest of the EU testers.

If you're on the EU beta and are itching to get your hands on up to four level capped characters with a bank full of top notch items, and sacks of gold to spend, simply go to the character transfer page and get those characters moved across! You can pick from a wide range of classes and races of either faction.

PC - World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade - World of Warcraft's Content Patch: Echoes of Doom Blizzard have revealed the name of the huge content patch that precedes Wrath of the Lich King on the front page of their EU site: Echoes of Doom.

Going by today's announcement that WoW's Arena season 4 ends on October 14th, it's a safe bet that the patch will be released on the same day (a month before the expansion hits the stores), but as yet, the 'more details' link leads to the last content patch, Fury of the Sunwell. Stay tuned for more details.

PC - World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade - World of Warcraft Slips Down the Charts There's no doubt that Spore has had a big impact on the PC games chart this week, as World of Warcraft products slip down to the lower end of the top 10.

There are still 4 WoW titles there however, along with the ever-present Sims, and Crysis is still clinging on, but the Diablo Battlechest has had to make way for Spore, the new dominant resident.

The next couple of weeks will be interesting when we see what impact Warhammer Online will have. Age of Conan topped the charts briefly a few weeks ago but is nowhere to be seen now; Will WAR go the same way, or will it take after WoW and be a permanent fixture?

PC - World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade - Lich King Beta Invites Meant to Over-Shadow WAR? Blizzard has just sent out another wave of beta invites, and this time it seems to be more of a tsunami than a mere splattering. Many more players seem to have received an invite than previous times.

This could merely be because the beta test is coming closer to the end, and Blizzard are giving more players a chance to glimpse the future expansion before the release, or is it for another reason? The expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, isn't expected to be released until November or later, so surely the beta has a couple of months left to run. Could the huge amount of invites be to keep WoW players busy for the launch of one of WoW's most anticipated rival's launches?

Warhammer Online will be released next week on the 18th September, but many WoW players, who until now may have been bored of waiting until the expansion, will now have access to the beta. Good thinking by Blizzard, or merely a coincidence?

PC - World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade - World of Warcraft opens PvE to PvP character transfers Massively reports that Blizzard has reversed their earlier stance on no PvE to PvP server transfers. Per Bornakk on the official World of Warcraft forums, Blizzard has decided to open up transfers from PvE servers to PvP servers because "World of Warcraft has matured significantly since the inception of Paid Character Transfers, [they] don't feel that PvE-to-PvP transfers will have the negative impact on the game that [they] initially wanted to avoid when [they] started the service in 2006. This change will provide more mobility and freedom for players to experience the game with friends or play in the type of environment they're looking for."
