Surprise! Well, it was to me, anyway. Wowhead announced on Wednesday that they are launching a new Premium subscription service. Subscriptions cost from $2.50 to $3.33 a month, depending on how many months you subscribe for at a time, and confer the following benefits: * No ads. * No CAPTCHAs when you post comments/forum posts, and an increased character limit on those posts. It likely won't be easy -- of course you've got to go into Ulduar, and you've got to down Freya, and yes, a stick like this will require you to down her hard mode. That means you leave the Elders up, and oh yeah, while they're still standing, not only will they buff her damage output, but they'll give her some extra abilities to rock your world with as well. It won't be an easy fight at all. But bring her and her Elders down, and when this comes up, you can fight all of the other casters for it. Win that roll (good luck on that) or spend your DKP (more likely), and the sprig is yours. Do I need to explain what a "sprig" is? It's an old Middle English word that talks about a shoot off of a tree. Or, actually, it also can be used for a "representation of a sprig," which is more likely what this is, given how it's sculpted together. Malgayne stresses that unlike some sites, non-premium users on Wowhead are not penalized. The site will continue to work just as beautifully as it always has for users that don't pay a dime. |
