Last-minute Christmas gift for your WoW buddies

I know I procrastinate when it comes to buying gifts, especially when I don't exactly know what my friends and family want for Christmas. I know what I'm getting a few of my WoW buddies though - Zygor's leveling guide. They may already have Wrath of the Lich King or might be getting it for Christmas, but either way, Zygor's guides are a perfect gift.

Zygor's Alliance and Horde leveling guidesIf you come here often, I'm sure you've heard of Zygor and his guides. We promote him not only because he's a good friend, but his guides are top notch. The days of Brian Kopp and Joana are gone - Zygor has the next-gen leveling guides. It doesn't matter if you're level 8 or 78, his guides will still blast you right to 80.

Right now is the perfect time to get your hands on one for yourself or your friends because Zygor just made a huge update to his guides. He's gone through and fixed all the bugs everyone's found and made some changes to make the guides even more efficient. These updates are free for a lifetime, so you'll always have the latest version.

Head over to Zygor's website and get a copy for yourself. I'm sure you'll be glad you did, but in the rare case that you aren't, he'll give you a full refund. Why are you still reading this? Go buy it already!

These lucky guys are ready for Wrath

Our Ready for Wrath? contest has come to a close, and boy, was it a success. Nearly 1,000 suggestions! Thank you everyone for contributing and I'll get your macros up on the site as soon as I can.

A huge congrats goes out to our winners. They were chosen at random via in-game /roll, but I recognize a few names in there that put in a good amount of effort to make more than a few suggestions. Great work guys (and gals)!

  • First up is our grand prize winner, Stephen F., who wins a Collector's Edition of Wrath of the Lich King!
  • Laha and Amos each win a copy of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion!
  • Dennis R., Evangelion, and Patricia A. will be playing WoW for at least two more months with their new time cards!
  • And the following win a copy of Zygor's 1-80 Horde/Alliance Leveling Guides: David M., Hallvard, Ellie, Daniel M., Taenwyn, Graham, Reza, Jeff Z., Bruno C., and Marcin!

I know there was a different guide promised to the last 10 winners, but an unexpected turn of events required us to find a new sponsor. Fortunately, Zygor offered his brand new in-game leveling guides for Wrath. Many thanks to him for the support!

Ready for Wrath? Win a Collector's Edition and more!

Okay, this is going to be big. Kind of an early Christmas present for you, and I'm feeling generous. Here's the prize bin: World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

  • A Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Edition
  • Two copies of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion
  • Three 60-day prepaid World of Warcraft time cards
  • And ten copies of Zygor's 1-80 Leveling Guide for Alliance and Horde

So now you're probably wondering how do you get your hands on one of these prizes. It's actually very simple. Because I can't be an expert at every class, many of the macros here are no longer useful or viable. This is where you come in.

Simply visit any of the class or macro pages and find the link near the bottom to suggest a new macro or improve the one you selected. When you fill out the form, it helps to describe/introduce the macro and its use before including the actual macro. All valid entries will earn you a ticket into the contest.

You can also link to us from your guild site or blog for additional tickets. You'll need to contact us to let us know where the link is so we can count it towards your total. Contributing in these ways will help us grow into the best macro resource and community out there.

Just after midnight on November 12th I'll be randomly selecting 16 winners from the list of all the contributions we've received. You won't be able to win more than one prize, but the more you contribute the better your chances are of winning. I'll be emailing each of the winners with details for claiming their prize.

Update: Sorry about the downtime earlier, not sure what happened. I've had questions about EU players participating - that's completely fine with me! But keep in mind it's going to take some time to ship your prize overseas.

Redesigned! What do you think?

After months of tinkering, I've completed the design and I'm nearly finished giving WoW Macros its much needed overhaul. In the coming weeks, you'll begin to see the macros change around a bit and some design tweaks here and there. I'll be having you help with some of these improvements, but more about that in the next post.

So what do you think? What could be changed? Shoot me an email and let me know, or just reply to the email from me after you subscribe at the top right. I'll be adding a comments area to all the posts and macros once I get some other updates out of the way.
