This is pretty big, and a long time coming. Blizzard have announced that they are finally accepting Paypal for WoW subscription payments.

This means you no longer need a credit card - you can use your normal debit card (like Switch) to pay through Paypal.

I know a number of players who'll be thrilled that they're not reliant on their parents credit cards to continue playing each month :-)

Don't forget we also sell 60 day timecards in the centre, if you want to continue playing using good old fashioned cash.

Word from Germany, and their ratings board, the USK, have just announced that "World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (DEMO)" will carry a 12 certificate.

Whoops, the cat's out the of the bag - looks like that's going to be the next World of Warcraft expansion then, with the timing right for the newly rated demo to be pushing out at the Leipzig games conference (and announced at BlizzCon).

If you play WoW and haven't heard of this, you need to check it out. Blizzard have made available something called The Armoury.

(Actually, it's called The Armory, but I'm not an American, and therefore can spell)

It can be found at http://armory.wow-europe.com/

Hooked into the game servers, it has real time data on characters, teams and Guilds.

It's pretty good - I can do a bit of Nat stalking:
