Blizzard has been known for including new fixes and modifications to the game within its PTRs (Public Test Realms) without necessarily including it in the patch notes. The latest change will make casual WoW players happy.

First, Primal Nethers and Nether Vortex (used for crafting items/enchants) won’t be bind on Pickup (BoP) anymore. Expect them to sell for a hefty price on an Auction House near you!

Second, you will now be able to buy some Nether Vortex with Heroic Badges. On the PTR, the Vortex is sold for the price of 15 badges and 7 gold 20 silver. The price might change once the patch 2.4 goes live.

With the Wrath of the Lich King expansion coming sometime this year, it would not surprise me to see a repeat in revenue postings next year.

Ain’t those intertubes grand? Well now that I’m through with WoW and have a fuckload of time on my hands, I can finally get all introspective in my own attention-whoring corner of the web…

It seems that Blizzard is adding more and more celebrities to advertise the World of Warcraft. Verne Troyer joined the party this week. In case you don’t know who he is,  he played “Mini-me” in the Austin Powers series.
