It’s time once again for a giveaway. Just like the last time, anyone subscribed to my newsletter with a confirmed email address is eligible to win. It’s that simple to enter.
The second giveaway for newsletter subscribers will be the Flag of Ownership. The winner will receive the code for the item but not the card itself so we can avoid the hassle of shipping things through snail mail.
I’ve been meaning to give away another Loot Card to subscribers of my newsletter for awhile now. I’ve been flip-flopping back and forth between two cards to get so I thought I might as well make a poll and let you guys decide for me.
I’ve narrowed it down to one of these two cards: The Flag of Ownership or the Ogre Pinata. You can check out their respective pages on Wowhead to get the details on each before you vote in the poll.
Well, it finally happened. WoW.com made a post about PUG Checker and within an hour of it going live I was banned from accessing Armory data. PUG Checker has been down for the count since about 10 AM this morning and will probably be up and down for the rest of the week or more until I can come up with a caching solution for Armory data.
Syrana, of Sideshow & Syrana fame, was the winner of my first Newsletter giveaway. Look for the next issue of the newsletter this Monday and a new giveaway some time soon. I’m looking to ramp it up a bit for the next one so expect something good in the way of TCG loot.
Some of you might have noticed that one of my other WoW sites, PUG Checker, stopped working the other week. The reason behind the shutdown was Blizzard’s removal of Boss Kill stats from the Armory.
Well, shortly after 3.1 was released they reintroduced the Boss Kill stuff back into the Armory. So anyone who was a fan of PUG Checker before it went down the gutter will be glad to know that it’s back up and working now.
When I launched my newsletter I said that one of my main motivations was to have an easy means to run contests here on the blog. Well, with Issue #1 of the newsletter coming this Monday it’s time to kick things off with a small TCG loot card giveaway.
The first giveaway for newsletter subscribers will be a Picnic Basket. The winner will receive the code for the item but not the card itself so we can avoid the hassle of shipping things through snail mail.
So I’m going to try a new feature here at Alterac Volley that will be a supplement to my normal blog posts. I’ve decided that I’m going to start an email newsletter that focuses on tips for the Auction House.
As some of you may already know, I’ve been working off and on over the last week or so on a new WoW-related site I’m calling PUG Checker.
With PUG Checker, you can type in the name of a player and the server they are on and get a quick “scorecard” style display of their boss kills in all of the instances in Wrath of the Lich King. This is a quick and simple way to get some kind of an idea about the experience level of the player you’re about to group up with.
