In Search of Fortune: Slow and Steady

January 21, 2021January 24, 2021

Welcome to ‘In Search of Fortune’, a monthly series where I discuss my gold goals and in-game money making strategies.

Recently, I’ve been playing quite a bit of other things (check out What I’m Currently Playing) and WoW has been getting less attenion in general, let alone gold making. Despite that, my last month hasn’t been a terrible step in building my fortune – 591,029g profit according to my TSM. I’ll break that down a little and give a couple tips as to how to many simple things can make a decent amount of gold without much extra effort (such as command table missions).

January 16, 2021January 16, 2021

WoW’s Shadowlands patch 9.1 is coming up… soon? In this post, we’ll discuss the release date based on historical x.1 patch dates (remember how we were right about the Shadowlands release date, until they changed it), new legendaries (maybe), the new raid, our guess for tier sets in this patch, and more. As always, make sure to subscribe or book mark or just remember alternateimage.net/gaming or however people find websites these days… because there will continue to be information on Warcraft’s upcoming content as well as other games.

Blizzard Bans Account with 100 Million Gold Over “New” Unannounced Rule

January 6, 2021January 6, 2021

I don’t normally make this sort of news post, but it is important for even more people to see both the new rule, the story, and to be aware of the kind of things Blizzard will do to your account and how their GMs will behave regarding those things. It seems a World of Warcraft player had an account banned for a new rule that Blizzard hasn’t announced, posted anywhere, told anyone or otherwise informed the players about. After the break, see the entire reddit post embed along with the Wowhead link where I found this story that has additional images of the posters conversation with Blizzard GMs.

Shooter Problems

January 1, 2021January 3, 2021

I’ve been playing a bit of Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War a bit recently and, while I’m having fun, there are certainly aspects which are entirely frustrating. Most of those, however, I’m noticing are common throughout all Call of Duty games and, in some cases, all FPS games period. So, in this post, I’m going to rant a bit about some aspects of that range from small complaints to design choices that should get the developer barred from creating video games and players slapped for letting it happen.
