Speech Zapper App Attacks Jim Younkin - Hilarity Ensues

YouTube: Speech Zapper App Attacks Jim Younkin - Hilarity Ensues 

Notededededed!!! This is what happens when livestream viewers introduce Jim to "Speech Jamming" where your own voice is played back into your ears at a slight delay which totally messes up your ability to speak. The iPhone app I used was called "Speech Zapper" (iTunes Affiliate Link).

I set it to 150 ms delay (down from the default of 250 ms) and turned on "Volume Boost" and turned the volume up. WARNING: The volume will be VERY loud. DON'T DAMAGE YOUR HEARING! You need it loud enough to almost totally drown out your own words.

"Virtual Realms" Combine Auction Houses in 5.4

This is (virtual) insanity. In 5.4 Blizzard may be "fusing" servers together. These "virtual realms" will combine all aspects of the realms together including the Auction House.

Say bye bye to low population server economies. I can't tell yet if this is a good thing or a bad thing. What would it be like if every economy ran like a high population realm's economy?

Has it finally come to this that World of Warcraft has so many low-population servers that is finally has to start merging....I mean "fusing" them together just so players can feel like their playing an actual MMORPG? You know, a Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing game?

(Also, it seems like Blizzard announcing this right after offering 50% off Paid Character Services is kinda a sketchy move.)

You can read the quote from Blizzard below (emphasis ours) and check out the full post: 5.4 PTR Coming Soon! 

New Feature: Virtual Realms 

• Virtual Realms are sets of realms that are fused together, and will behave exactly as if they were one cohesive realm. Players on the same Virtual Realm will be able to join guilds, access a single Auction House, join arena teams and raids, as well run dungeons or group up to complete quests.

• Players belonging to the same Virtual Realm will have a (#) symbol next to their name.

What are your thoughts on this and its affect on gold-making?

87-88 MoP Item Sales Analysis & Adjustment

Once I've been working a new market for a while I like to stop and take stock of what's selling and what's not so I can adjust accordingly.

I did this for the "85-89" Mists of Pandaria market that I started preparing for before 5.3 and have since been selling in since Patch 5.3 dropped.

In analyzing this market I came to some conclusions and interesting discoveries that allowed me to adjust my tactics. Head past the jump for more.
