The Ultimate Guide" width="360" height="142" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1119" /></a><br />
Every now and then a new guide hits the market that captures a niche or hole in information that no other guide has yet covered. Recently, I had a chance to sit down with just such a guide – the incredibly accurate and overwhelmingly detailed new monthly guide being released by <a href="http://msterilinn.warformula.hop.clickbank.net " target="new">Warcraft Formula</a>.</p>
<p>The idea is simple. You pay a small upfront fee for full access to a past library of <a href="http://msterilinn.warformula.hop.clickbank.net " target="new">Warcraft Formula guides</a> going back to the release of Wrath of the Lich King and every month, for a small fee you get the newest guide in the series. Each guide comes with PvP strategies, recent news in the game, class strategies, recent gold making options, action plans, and information that is as up to date as it comes, written as often as it is. </p>
<p>You also get a nice bonus in the form of an Action Plan that guides even the noobs among you to build an account from the ground up to be as effective as the pros out there. What <a href="http://msterilinn.warformula.hop.clickbank.net " target="new">Warcraft Formula</a> does is nothing short of astounding, creating a new product that allows users of all skill levels to start out with nothing and build their way up to pro status every month with sharp, pointed strategy guides. </p>
<p>It’s not a select guide – you don’t get a leveling guide or a gold guide or PvP guide alone. But, unlike the guys offering those guides, you get information that isn’t three months old and mostly nerfed. You get info as it is added to the game and you get strategies that no one else has seen yet. I was astounded at how much information is included each month in these guides. </p>
<p>To top things off, the guide writers – Brad Johnson and T Dub Sanders – are the geniuses behind Warcraft Millionaire and PvP Bible (respectively), making them the best possible sources for all the top new info in the game. You can’t get much better than the best around in PvP and the best around in gold making. If you’re looking for the next big thing in Warcraft guides, this is it folks – don’t miss out on <a href="http://msterilinn.warformula.hop.clickbank.net " target="new">Warcraft Formula</a>. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://f4f2beupnhu9qltvjctk3gzdl7.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=VIRTUALWARCRAFT" target="new"><img src="http://thisvirtualworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/cataclysm_my_ad_2-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="World of Warcraft Guide " width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1111" /></a>World of Warcraft is a land of elites. It’s just the way it is. The game has been online for the last four years and some players have been playing the whole time, pretty much destroying anyone in their path to become the best around. So, it’s no surprise that people look for new guides all the time to help them get better and bump up to par with the top pros out there. Luckily, every now and then a guide actually comes along that can help you do that – becoming a top player in a land of elites. This time around, that new guide is <a href="http://f4f2beupnhu9qltvjctk3gzdl7.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=VIRTUALWARCRAFT" target="new">Warcraft Formula</a>.</p>
<p>To be a hundred percent accurate, <a href="http://f4f2beupnhu9qltvjctk3gzdl7.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=VIRTUALWARCRAFT" target="new">Warcraft Formula</a> isn’t a single guide. It’s a ton of guides, with a new one added to the mix every month. I reviewed the first couple of months for this review and they were top notch content. Each guide was 30 pages long and included three features, top news from the month, questions from readers, an action plan and a preview of the next month. Each feature was full of useful content that was designed to do just about anything you needed it to – from building up a powerful play through strategy for a Death Knight to creating a 10 man raiding group. It’s not hyper specific information, but it’s a heck of a lot more than the general strategies you get from the existing guides on the market. </p>
<p>To top things off, you get a whole bunch of extras with the guide. The first extra was the Fast Track Action Plan that Brad and T Dub provide. It’s a guideline that helps players figure out how to put together a good WoW account. Basically, it includes everything from an outline of how to build a character, choose your UI and the right class and professions to how to get into a guild, start up PvP and go about raiding. Essentially, it’s a route to stop making so many silly mistakes as you play through the game – a great tool for beginners and something even a few veterans could probably benefit from. </p>
<p>In the end, <a href="http://f4f2beupnhu9qltvjctk3gzdl7.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=VIRTUALWARCRAFT" target="new">Warcraft Formula</a> is a great new product that provides something I’ve never seen before in a WoW product. It is updated every month with a new ebook and all for a decent monthly fee with information about pretty much every aspect of the game not just a couple of select areas. </p>

Our minds are always seeking new ways to learn, and I have found through my own experiences that active virtual play enhances our ability to learn many times over conventional learning methods. We are virtual beings, living in a virtual world. We simply thrive on exciting virtual activities designed to encourage us to explore, create, and evolve in ways we can only imagine. In this moment I am excited to bring a glimpse into one such world, called Mingoville. Here is a virtual experience which has a lot of potention for learning, while playing!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a few moments to visit a cool place to learn English and have fun&#8230; <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndqZWoCRLNs' target="new">Mingoville &#8211; A Virtual World</a> </p>
<p><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ndqZWoCRLNs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ndqZWoCRLNs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<h3>From the People at Mingoville</h3>
<p>Like the Mingoville School you are familiar with, the new Mingoville World is also based on the belief that kids learn better when they have fun and when they decide when and where to learn.</p>
<p>In the Mingoville World, all activities and games are in English. We have developed a whole universe based on fun and exciting educational games and exercises that teach children English while they play online. </p>
<p>At Mingoville, we have been working hard to develop a virtual world where learning English is 100% integrated into all games and exercises. A virtual world allows kids to practice and learn English without even thinking about it. We hope you enjoy it and consider using this new teaching tool in your curriculum.</p>
<h3>Good News</h3>
<p>Mingoville is free. You have free access to the Mingoville School and the Mingoville World. However, it is also possible to buy extended access to the Mingoville World and become a SuperLearner. As a SuperLearner, the student will have access to more fun educational games and the possibility of buying clothes and other things for his flamingo.</p>

<p>Monstro City holds exciting alleys and ingenious shops. I dare you to traverse the land of <a href="http://www.moshimonsters.com/" target="new">Moshi Monsters</a>.

<p>Go from Ooh La Lane, to Sludge Street, and from there to Gift Island. See what you cand discover in Monstro City! Start your very own garden by planting seeds to attract cute, atrocious, or terrifying Moshlings. </p>
<p>When all of that serious exploring has tired out your Moshi Monster, you can go home to your personal domain. Don&#8217;t forget to feed your monster! Visit the Puzzle Palace and Moshling Garden. You may visit the Port as well, and the Dress Up Room. Does your sassy pet want to see the DIY shop, or maybe Horrods. Explore all the Monstro streets. They are your gateway to games, and meeting new Monsters. Let&#8217;s not forget to say &#8220;Hi&#8221;! </p>

Respect the Moshi Community &#8211; Treat Moshi players with respect, and you will be respected.<br />
No Bullying or Rudeness &#8211; Put your best behaviour foot forward.<br />
No Cheating or Scamming &#8211; Scamming and cheating are stealing.. don&#8217;t do it! </p>
<p>This post is courtesy of my daughter, who shall remain unnamed, yet is a faithful and fearless Moshi Monster who enjoys having fun and trekking through the colorful lands of cyber space. Thank you dear&#8230;</p>

In simple english, I have become throroughly addicted to <em><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TT2D0M?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=thisvirtualworld-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B000TT2D0M" target="new">Rock Band</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thisvirtualworld-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B000TT2D0M" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />!</em></strong> I can honestly blame my musically inclined daughter, who loves to sing. She talked me into challenging my musical talents, and now we are totally hooked! </p>
<p>Yep, when I got my first &#8216;flawless&#8217; on Bon Jovi&#8217;s &#8216;Wanted, Dead or Alive&#8217;, it was all over. Next thing we knew, we had earned a new manager, and started getting popular enough to go on tour, hire some roadies, compete for a new tour bus, and we even played our booties off for our very own jet plane! Now we were travelling in style&#8230; yeah baby! </p>
<p>I think I started gaining the most enjoyment once we moved out of easy mode, into medium difficulty. By then, speaking for myself, I was much more comfortable, and it seemed much easier to kick back and enjoy playing the guitar without stressing over hitting the correct keys. I was totally comfortable enough to let my fingers fly and have loads of fun with the songs. Some songs are really fun to play, and sound totally rockin&#8217; when we hit the notes just right.</p>
<p>What I love most is that I can do really well singing the songs. I really like to challenge my voice to make each song my own, while keeping the essence of the song intact. Some songs kick me in the butt, and I struggle to match the tones, and I sometimes give up and just hum&#8230; LOL </p>
<p>But hey, I did get that &#8216;flawless&#8217; score in singing &#8216;Wanted, Dead or Alive&#8217; by Bon Jovi&#8230; one of my <em><strong>most</em></strong> favourite songs ever! Although &#8216;Orange Crush&#8217; by R.E.M. nearly killed me&#8230; again, and again&#8230; hehehe. I really think all this singin&#8217; action has placed a bit of stress on the mic. I am thinking the <em><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/6050036071?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=thisvirtualworld-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=6050036071" target="new">Rock Band Official Microphone (PS3, Wii, Xbox360)</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thisvirtualworld-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=6050036071" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /></em></strong> seems the best option, and I am certain it is the standard mic already in use. I would totally appreciate any feedback on this particular mic, or a preferable option. </p>
<p>Speaking of Rock Band, I think it is just about time for a rock break! Enjoy&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, I can understand merging servers if named servers have too low of a population to enable the best gaming experience. BUT&#8230; why is it taking so long to find my way to the new server???? Message says&#8230; </p>
<p><em>&#8220;This server had a very low population and has been merged with a higher population server. All of your characters and guilds now exist on the destination server. If the server select window shows that you have characters on this server then the process has not completed. Please visit the account management page for more information.&#8221; </em></p>
<p>Well then, I did visit the page and must be blind! I cannot find my destination server, and it has been two weeks since I first tried. I just want to play Warhammer. And I want to play on my Rank 12+ characters that I worked so hard to get lots of cool gear and level friendly ranks for!! I love to roleplay, and this was a roleplaying server. I do know it was not highly populated (which suited me just fine), yet I would like to see my characters transfered to a suitable server soon, so I can get my moneys worth. </p>
<p>Now that I ranted just the tiniest bit, I suppose I will have to contact support to get some answers to my dilemna asap. I figure I have been patient long enough. If I am missing something here, then I will just have to backtrack and correct this problem on my own&#8230; and it will be <em>my bad</em>. Otherwise, I hope to very soon be running around pretending to be a dwarf or a lovely elf on a mission! </p>
<p>Hmmmm&#8230; mayhaps I shall just have to play around with the dark side of my nature for a while until they clear up this mess. A dark elf just may be what I need to vent my feelings of abandonment&#8230; muahaha! <img src='http://thisvirtualworld.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What a great feeling it is to log onto the net and explore to my hearts content. There is so much to see and do, that I am amazed with everything I am discovering. My daughter just had a birthday, and besides the usual mall trip, movies, and a day full of mom and daughter special treats, I got her a new computer. I love my computer (which is new as well), but I love hers even better! </p>
<p>Her computer is a slight upgrade from mine, and now we can play in the Virtual Worlds together. We have been waiting months to do this, as before we had to share our play time. Her computer just couldn&#8217;t handle the newer graphics. Now we can do what we want, and take our adventures to a totally new level! I am so excited, and after we finish our morning lessons (I homeschool my daughter), we are heading into the realms of Warhammer Online to begin our journey of questing in a land full of great new adventures!! </p>
<p>So far we are both happy with what we are finding in game at Warhammer. We like to roleplay a lot, as this is a great escape from the stresses of this world we live in. We also love to connect with family and friends, and the game serves to bring us together in a place where reality is quite different from that in which we wake to each day. Well then, I had better get to it and finish my work (which is really play), so we can jump into a new land just waiting to be explored! </p>
<p>Enjoy <img src='http://thisvirtualworld.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
