Buying gold makes baby murlocs cry. If that isn’t enough to dissuade you, then check out the informational webpage we put together to make sure everyone has the facts about the negative impact of buying gold and using power-leveling services. Our goal is to shed light on how these companies operate, share some of the measures we’re constantly taking to combat them, raise awareness of the effects these services have on all players — not just the buyers — and help protect members of the community from being targeted by them. So give it a read — it’ll only take a few minutes. And don’t buy gold. Because you wouldn’t want little Murky’s tears on your conscience, would you?

Hallow’s End begins October 18 and continues until November 2.
For this installment of WoW Stories we’ve found a couple of interesting and touching tales of how their authors were first introduced to the lands of Azeroth. In World of Warcraft, the adventures begin in vastly different ways from person to person. Check out how such adventures took shape for two of your fellow players.
If you’re inspired by these stories and want to share your own, don’t forget to head over to our submission page. We’ve quickly dipped into autumn and are looking for some wonderful stories to help usher in the transformative season with its celebrations of festive holidays. We’d love for you to share with the community your World of Warcraft experiences.
