As favored online games like Warcraft, Aion, and EVE Online all release major updates, players are trying to find updated guides to help them to make the maximum of the new game content and features.
NCSoft's Aion recently revealed their 1.9 update, which introduced a few major gameplay changes. CCP's EVE Online has just released their Tyrannis update, which has totally changed the dynamics of the player driven economy with new features that permit players to mine and interact with planets.
Activision Blizzard's flagship game, World of Warcraft, is revving up for the Cataclysm growth, which should introduce not only new quest content, but also new races and classes.
All of these updates show that MMOs can continue to provide gameplayers with excitement and challenge. However at the same time, players who've worked on systems and strategies to beat quests and complete missions will find that these updates will send them back to the drawing board.
"It's always been an issue when you have regular content updates and expansions " explains TheGameGuideHQ.com's Kirsty Johnson. "Players spend a lot of time collaborating to find the right builds - the right combination of hardware, abilities, and gameplay - to conquer the hardest aspects of these games. Then an update comes along and everything changes. "
With so many guides to choose from, TheGameGuideHQ.com's easily read reviews and straightforward ratings quickly show at a glance what each guide has to give. Gamers can make informed decisions without squandering their money - and all the guides come with cash back guarantees.
"With some of these games costing upwards of $15 a month, many players finish up annoyed and confused when their strategies don't work " announces Kirsty. "that's the reason why we promote game guides that are constantly updated. Once a player buys, say, a whole World of Warcraft Guide, it's going to be updated each time an expansion is released. This way, players can swiftly see what new tactics they need to use to achieve success in the new missions and content. "
TheGameGuideHQ.com provides fair reviews of top game guides, recommending only the absolute best guides to players. All game guides are reviewed by experience gamers, who've played everything from early 8bit platformers to the latest MMOs.
TheGameGuideHQ is written by game players, for game-players. With EVE Online guide reviews, World of Warcraft guide reviews, and a new section for Aion guides, TheGameGuideHQ helps you choose the best and helpful guides for your favourite MMOs and internet games.

2. gouge/kidney shot your oppenent and run out
3. get your oppenent crippled and sprint away
4. vanish
2 - Don’t blow all your energy
If you sit on a person and spam mutilate, you won’t have enough energy for legitamite burst.

The Barbershops in Wrath of the Lich King
Had a chance to check out the barbershops yet? It's a nice place for a little touch-up:
World of Warcraft: Wotlk - Character customization
Horde and Alliance Working Together? Noooo!
Check it out. This movie is from the end of a series of quests in the Dragonblight region of Northrend. Horde and Alliance put aside their differences, but the Forsaken have other thoughts on the subject. By the way, it's pretty damn cool.
Go here to see it on the Bliz site.

Zygor's 1-80 in-game Leveling Guides
Zygor's Guides are totally in-game leveling guides for Horde and Alliance. No switching from game to website or document, no switching back and forth from game to map, just fast leveling with no distractions.
Included with Zygor's guide is an automated waypoint system, TomTom. What this means is that everytime you finish a quest not only does the guide itself update, but the waypoint arrow does also. Just follow the arrow from quest to quest, nothing could be easy.
Here's a video which will show you how it works. (See the 2nd video, below, for remarks about Wrath of the Lich King and the 1-80 guide. ) This video refers to the launch of the guide back in May, but everything else is the same and the guide is updated for the 3.0+ patches.
Zygor's Guides will be Wrath Ready on Nov 13, so grab it now, start leveling, get the update when it hits, and then run non-stop up to level 80.

Going for the Gold, WoW Gold
The World of Warcraft (WoW) is a game that is played by some 10,000,000 people and is still growing. One of the things that every one of these people has in common is a need to have a sufficient cash (gold) flow for their characters.
Now, some people are pretty clued in on how to make gold in WoW and some have actually made a business of it. They farm the items that they then sell to vendors or other players, amass large amounts of gold, then sell that gold to players for real cash. Some go insane and hit the wow gold cap. Yes, there really is such a thing.
Blizzard, the Creator of WoW, frowns on buying gold (and items,) by the way, and has been known to ban the accounts of people who do so.
So for the rest of us here's a short guide on how to increase your World of Warcraft Gold account.
Auctioneer is essential
Download the Auctioneer Addon (google it) and install the thing. You want the full suite and you'll want to read the documentation and learn how to use it. Why? You'll find that it's a really big help in learning the market for your server, which is an essential step to making real gold.
Make Your Banker
Make an alternate character as your dedicated banker. You'll take this character to level 5 (class and race don't matter) and take it to the nearest big city. Then pick up the "enchanting" skill, which you'll use to disenchant low level items.
Your banker will never level again (unless you want to buy up that enchanting skill someday.)
All your other characters will use the banker to sell their stuff, buy stuff, and send stuff here and there. Find a stack of ore? Hit the nearest mailbox and send it to the banker to sell. A pile of green items from your last instance run? Off to the banker.
Need gear for your main character? Your banker buys it and mails it off to you. Need more storage space? Use the mailbox. Mail stuff to your banker, the banker returns it, and you let it sit in the mailbox until you need it.
Gathering the gold
Pick up Mining and Skinning as your two professions (make sure you buy a pick and a skinning knife!) Skin everything that's skinnable all the way to level 70. Skins always sell well and some sell for several gold per stack of 20. Some of the Outlands skins sell for several gold each.
Ore is all over the place. Start with copper and mine everything you can. Use your "smelting" skill to smelt the ore into bars which will drive up your mining skill. Ore always sells well, the better stacks going for 30 gold or so each, but those Outland skins are far more valuable.
Gathering Items
The Gatherer Addon is a big help here in that it will mark your map as you find stuff, so you can do efficient gathering routes later on.
As you kill, main, and slaughter your way across Azeroth and the Outlands you will see plenty of item drops in addition to the skins you pick up. The item names will be colored grey, white, green, blue (rare), and purple (really really rare.)
Everything white or better goes to your banker (unless your main can use it) for sale on the Auction House. Many green items won't sell very well so those should be disenchanted into their magical parts and those parts are then sold.
Learn the Auction House.
Use Auctioneer and your own observations to best estimate the best price to sell any particular item, which will vary from time to time. Thursday through Saturday is the best time to sell stuff, Sun eve through Tuesday is the worst.
For example, you collect some "Large Fangs" from StrangleThorn Vale. They're white, but you might be tempted to sell them to the vendor. DON'T!! Looking at your Auctioneer tooltip you might notice that they sell for around 1 gold each (which they really do.)
Ship them to your banker and have that character search the Auction House. Find out what the going price seems to be (which may even be more than 1 gold each) and price those teeth appropriately. Price too high and they don't sell, price too low and I'll buy them and resell them at a (much) higher price.
Keep your eyes open for the prices of items as you gather them and you'll start to learn what to gather, how to best sell it, and how to make some serious gold.
If you really want to learn all the gold making ticks and tricks you'll look at this Warcraft Millionaire dude, who's hit the gold cap on four characters. That's close to 1 million gold.

Rogueish Cunning Blade Quests
Rogues in the World of Warcraft have an optional quest, not at all required, which has a nice dagger as a reward, the Cunning Blade. Each race has a very different quest to do in their own native area, so the Blood Elves will never cross paths with the Trolls and neither will ever see a Night Elf.
The quests aren't hard if you remember to sneak up on the target from behind. Also, your Sap ability is your friend.
Here's a complete walk through of each of the Cunning Blade quests for each race, with tips to make the hard parts a little easier:
