Blizzard and World of Warcraft Gold Sellers

Author : Ruibo
Many World of Warcraft players today likes to buy WoW gold, items, accounts and power leveling sessions, but blizzard along with other players consider this an act of cheating. Well, you have the ability to enhance your character to a much higher level or better quality items, weapons, armors and other equipment with real money. It's unfair for those players who does not have the extra cash to spare or would prefer to play it the old fashion way. But for example, we all know what Nintendo is right? Well when game shark came out did Nintendo try to stop or prevent them from selling? No, they didn't. But of course, for those who chose to cheat the game was not required to play with others that didn't want to cheat. So that is one conclusion as to why players and Blizzard does not approve of selling or buying gold.

Disruption from Warcraft gold farmers. Yes I'm sure we've all experienced that farming now a days have been a little difficult due to the overwhelming population of WoW gold farmers. If gold wasn't able to be sold using real money the farmers wouldn't exist and players would probably be able to enjoy the game more. Perhaps blizzard should enforce a law to farming? Or allow players to tag a mob and allow them preparation time to kill the mob they were targeting? Well, Blizzard is not a government and even if so, the government today isn't perfect either.

Another reason why I can understand players hate the idea of buying/selling gold is because it disrupts the economy. If there is excess gold, then the value of gold drops and the value of the item will rise causing players to spend more gold on the item than what they would normally need to pay. Basic economics 101, inflation and deflation. A player can only farm an X amount of gold over a given period of time. The more gold there is, the more the item will cost, the more a player will have to farm unless they purchase the gold of course.

Well with all these problems involving selling gold, why hasn't Blizzard done something? I believe they probably are working on a solution but believe it not, farmers do make up about 30% of their population. Somewhere in the back of their mind I'm sure they don't want to get rid of all subscribers. What they do instead is ban a few at a time and they would be required to buy a new world of warcraft cd key. Extra cash flow for the mighty O Blizzard. Yes farmers and sellers do get their accounts banned. But have not heard of any buyers getting banned however. Lucky for us?

As some of you may know, another popular mmorpg publisher is Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) with their many leading titles including the first MMORPG hit EverQuest, Star Wars Galaxies, and EverQuest 2. Why am I bringing up SOE? Because they have introduced the Sony Exchange. The Sony Exchange is a secure market place for players to auction their currencies and items to other players for real cash. In return SOE of course takes in a small fee for themselves. Charming isn't it? Well along with this new innovative idea, they also of plans of releasing a new game where they will be selling currencies and items themselves. That pretty much just beats the second paragraph of not cheating. But of course I'm sure they will create specific servers where the purchasing/selling of virtual assets will not be allowed.

If SOE is getting into the secondary market why can't the players? I do wonder if Blizzard should decide to get into the secondary market themselves. Believe it or not, but World of Warcraft subscriber base more than quadruples what SOE has in total. As you can see SOE is accepting the new trend and making a huge load of profit, I'm sure Blizzard would follow up on the idea as well. EverQuest was the first mmorpg hit ever, Blizzard known for their real time strategy games now has the most popular mmorpg as well. I wouldn't see why they won't follow and collect some of the cash themselves. Overall, although we do not know of Blizzards intentions for those who buys WoW gold, I can say for sure that I do not know a single person who has gotten their accounts banned for buying WoW gold. Please understand that this article is only a matter of opinion and I hold no responsiblity to your actions. If you are interested in purchasing wow gold, visit http://www.buyingwowgold.com.

The Road to CCNA

Author : Mohammed Alani
There are two ways to handle any exam.You can read and prepare to pass the exam and pass the exam and become certified without learning the real thing. Things like TestKing and Pass4sure might help in this. On the other hand, you can study,learn and prepare yourself for the exam along the way. And that's something I might be helpful in managing.I will not tell you things like "Take your CCNA in 3 days" or five days, because these are all mere lies. I will guide you through depending on my experience as a Cisco Academy instructor and having lots of students who passed the exam with grades from 950 to 1000.Based upon my experience, a month would be adequate for understanding the CCNA materials as well as prepare yourself for the exam. First, I will go through the studying schedule and then I will go on further details regarding the exam and how to prepare for it and how to pass it.First of all, prepare yourself for studying 4 hours a day, 6 days a week, for 4 weeks. This gives us an overall of 96 hours of study. And be careful not to pass hours from one day to another. DO NOT study for more than 4 hours a day. It will be tiring, and things you read after the four hours will have to be studied again because you will not be able to understand it. During these four hours you MUST have 30 minutes break. After the first hour and 45 minutes, you should take a 30 minutes break and go back for the other hour and 45 minutes.For self study purposes, I recommend using the Cisco Press CCNA package. It has two books by Stephen McQuerry; INTRO (for the basics of networking) and ICND (Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices). These two books cover the CCNA materials well. It's like a collection of the useful things from the CCNA academy materials.If you are looking for a more brief coverage of the CCNA materials, you can use the Todd Lammle's book in its 5th edition printed by Sybex. But the problem with this book is that it doesn't cover the whole story. It lacks the two very important subjects of NAT and DHCP, which are practically very important. And I have put together some simple documents about NAT and DHCP that can help students depending on Lammle's book. You can find them here and here.And for practical training, if you cannot borrow an old router, you can use a simulator. Many type of simulator are out there in the market and lots of them are useless. Few of the good ones that I recommend are either Boson's or the one that is sold by Cisco Press. And to be honest, the best simulator that I have seen until now is called PacketTracer. This is the router used by Cisco Academies for thier student. And I don't think its available for public use outside the academy.I will do the schedule based on subject titles and not on chapters so you could go either way with Lammle's book or McQuerry's books.Subject-Description-HoursIntroduction to networks and internetworks-getting to know the essence of networking and knowing the OSI layered model and the distinguished responsibilities of each layer-4Ethernet-Understanding ethernet and its frame types, CSMA/CD and its cabling types-3TCP/IP-Knowing TCP/IP layered model and Cisco Hierarical layerd model. Understanding the different type of protocols for each layer-5Subnetting and VLSM-Subnetting is an essential part of understanding how IP networks work. Practice as much as you can-8Cisco Routers-Knowing the pieces of routers and how they interact, types of interfaces and lines, how to connect to a router for configration purposes, and Basic router configration-4Routing Protocols-Distance vector and link state protocols, what are the differences between them. Routing loops and thier avoidance is an important topic too-4RIP & IGRP-Understanding the methods of operation, programming, testing, and troubleshooting of each protocol and what are the differences between them-6OSPF & EIGRP-Understanding the methods of operation, programming, testing, and troubleshooting of each protocol and what are the differences between them-6NAT & DHCP-What are they and how to configure, test, and troubleshoot them-4Network Management-How to manage an internetwork, SNMP, telnet and all other things that helps to test and manage a network including password recovery procedures-4Access-Lists-What are access-lists, how do they operate, how to decide which type and where and how to implement them. More and more practice is important in this subject-8Switches-What are the types of switches and what are thier parameters. How to do basic configration of Cisco switches. Switching loops and STP are a key issue here-4VLANs and VTP-Understanding the reason and operation of VLANs, trunking and VTP. Inter-VLAN routing is an important issue-8WANs-In real life you will not find a network without WAN connection. You have to master the types of WAN connections and where and why each one is used. Configration, testing, and troubleshooting of PPP, FrameRelay, and ISDN are important-12Exam preparation-Going through all topic and reading solved questions might be useful too-12 And this would leave you extra 4 hours that can be kept as a spare time.After stating this schedule, I will start talking about the exam itself. The exam consists of 55 to 65 questions. Most of them are multiple choice questions with few simulation questions and drag and drops. You can take a look at Cisco's CCNA exam webpage. It has details about exam questions and exam description. The exam time is 90 minutes and in the middle east is expanded to 2 hours because its in a second language.The exam doesn't have review ability, i.e., it has only "NEXT" button and no "PREVIOUS" button on the page. So, you will not be able to take a second look into the question you answer. And in my opinion, that's a good thing, so your mind would not be occupied with previous questions. The exams usually have two or three simulation questions. These questions are the ones that take time. Not because they are hard or long or any of that, its because you are afraid of it. Especially if this is your first time in such a computer-based exam. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT spend more than 15-20 minutes on the simulation questions. It would make you loose many other questions. The most important thing about the exam is timing. The questions are never too hard.The passing score, as you might know, is 849 out of 1000. The zero point of the exam is 300. And not all questions in the exam are marked as Cisco says in its copyright notice before the exam.Keep in mind that CCNA is not the farthest that you can go. CCNA is the stepping stone to a much wider world where you can select a road in. After CCNA, you can go in many different ways; wireless networks, voice over IP, network security, or CCNP.www.mohammedalani.com

Light your Road with the Mercedes Benz Fog Light

Author : mbs5000

Every vehicle needs only the best lighting to ensure excellent visibility for drivers like you. Whether you drive a car, truck or SUV, you need to be sure your lights are in topnotch condition before you head for the road. For the classy Mercedes Benz owners, a special type of fog light was especially made to give you only the best lighting as you cruise your Mercedes Benz on the road: the Mercedes Benz Fog Light. Equipped with superior function, the Mercedes Benz Fog Light gives Mercedes Benz owners much benefit. What is basically does is to provide a wider light dispersion pattern that is especially useful when driving at night or during total darkness caused by foul weather. The light dispersed by the Mercedes Benz Fog Light is bright but does not cause blinding reflections that could cause accidents. Mounted just below the headlights, this fog light gives Mercedes Benz drivers a better view of the sides of the vehicle. Furthermore, the Mercedes Benz Fog Light is specifically built to resist the normal wear and tear that regular fog lights are prone to. Like other fog lights in the market, the Mercedes fog lights come in various types and options, with different applications and hues to suit any driving need. For instance, blue fog lights and amber fog lights improve visibility during bad weather. These add style to the car as well. Regular fog lights normally have a range approximately the same as typical low beams. Most of its light is aimed at a level lower than the light of the low beam headlights. Higher-level fog lights such as LED fog lights contain precision crafted lens that keep all of the light low and directly below the eye level of oncoming drivers. With these types of fog lights, safety is taken a notch higher.The lens and reflectors of fog lights like the Mercedes Benz fog light also differ. The fluting or cuts in the lens determine the pattern of light deflection. Most fog lights use lead crystal since it is the clearest type of lens and allows easier passage of lights. Other fog lights made of ordinary glass or hardened glass have longer lasting use but can be affected by the accumulated dust and dirt which can hinder the light from passing.When driving and poor visibility sets in, remember to turn on the Mercedes Benz fog lights as soon possible, especially in foggy early mornings or late in the evening. Many traffic accidents occur because of poor visibility. Fortunately for Mercedes Benz owners, risk of danger is reduced once the Mercedes Benz owners are installed. And with its high supply in the market, therell never be any worry of having a hard time finding one. Dwyane Thomas is a part time cook and full-time auto-enthusiast.
