| Dalaran News | | This realm is presently in need of a few good people to serve as Realm Administrators. Ideally the team would consist of one or two players from each faction. If you think you might be interested in this position, please follow the Apply as Administrator link to your left. Or, if you know of someone you think might be suited for the position, then by all means, send him or her here as well. Be sure to read the associated sticky thread in the forum before applying.
In the meantime this realm is being overseen by the World Administrators of Realm History. The World Administrators are a team of individuals that have volunteered to help maintain the notes submitted by players on realms with no current administration. It is because of this that updates on such realms are sporadic at best.
So, what can you do to help?
Updating is a simple enough procedure, but sometimes the notes we receive are quite a mess. Here are a few pointers in how and what to submit in the notes.
Adding Guilds:
- Make certain that the guild name reflects the name as seen inside the game.
- Be sure to give an adequate description of your guild: PvP, PvE, hardcore, casual, etc. This lets others know the kind of guild you are a part of, in case they find themselves wanting to apply.
- Include a complete URL to your guild’s website.
- If a guild disbands, please use the Other Comment option on the Submit Information form to let us know.
Adding Boss Kills:
- The only kill date we need is the first kill your guild/group logs against a boss.
- Always include a kill date with a first kill. Kill dates are important in not only ranking your guild on your own server, but also ranking your guild with others across the world.
- Make sure you cover all bosses in the raid instance. In most cases you will have needed to kill everyone previously to access the final boss.
- Try to avoid listing a boss in subsequent notes. An Admin may overwrite a previous kill with a, possibly, inaccurate listing, which in turn downranks your guild.
Guild Recruitment:
- You are free to be as descriptive as you like with this note. Everything you include with the note will appear in the recruitment listing.
Rare Crafts:
- If you choose to list yourself, please keep your information updated.
- If you know of a crafter who has transferred from the realm, please make a note of it using the Other Comment option on the Submit Information form.
It is worth mentioning that Guild Recruitment and Rare Crafter notes are the quickest to update, as those notes come with an Instant Update option for Administrators.
Again, however, we would much rather see members of this realm serving as the Administrators. As active members of the realm, you are much better suited to the position than a random World Administrator passing through on a round of updates. So please, consider becoming a Realm Administrator for your realm.
Thank you. |
| Realm History News | IRVINE, Calif. - November 20, 2008 - Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that World of Warcraft®'s second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King™, has sold more than 2.8 million copies in its first 24 hours of availability*, making it the fastest-selling PC game of all time. This eclipses the previous record of nearly 2.4 million copies sold in 24 hours, set in January 2007 by Blizzard's first World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade®. Wrath of the Lich King was simultaneously released in North America, Europe, Chile, Argentina, and Russia on November 13; Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand on November 14; and South Korea and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau on November 18.
In celebration of the launch, more than 15,000 stores throughout the world had their doors open at midnight to welcome thousands of expectant players. Several of these locations were attended by Blizzard Entertainment representatives, who met players and signed copies of the game.
"We're grateful for the incredible support that players around the world have continued to show for World of Warcraft," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Wrath of the Lich King contains some of the best content we’ve created for the game so far, and we look forward to seeing even more players log in to experience it in the days ahead."
"After a single day of availability, Wrath of the Lich King is already the bestselling PC game of 2008 at GameStop and ranks as one of our top-selling products so far this year," said Bob McKenzie, GameStop’s senior vice president of merchandising. "In keeping with the tradition established by their previous releases, Blizzard Entertainment has again created a product that not only reflects their high standards of quality but is clearly an instant hit with gamers around the country."
Prior to the launch of Wrath of the Lich King, World of Warcraft’s subscriber population had grown to more than 11 million players, further strengthening its position as the world's most popular subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
