See, this is what I like about KingsIsle. The Bazaar wasn’t all that useful when the Grizzleheim expansion launched. It did the job, but it wasn’t easy to use. KI has an entirely new Bazaar up on the Test server, and invites all W101 subscribers to give it a try this weekend before it opens on all servers.
Items may be sorted by school, price, usability, minimum level and quantity. It becomes extremely easy to find upgrades.
The mechanics haven’t changed — you still sell and buy items for a fixed price — nut it’s far easier to find what you are looking for.

If you go, though, to the cloakroom on the … Read more

I think this might be old news, but here it is: KingsIsle is sending out truckfulls of gift cards to department stores and electronics outlets the world over. Using Crowns garnered by redeeming the gift cards in game is, by far, the cheapest way of enjoying W101. You pay as you go, don’t pay when … Read more
