The built in World of Warcraft Voice chat is a much appriciated addon that will be really great once the bugs are all fixed. Apperantly a lot of players owning Creative brand sound cards have reported sound problems. Hopefully Blizzard and Creative will come up with a solution and enable the great addition in a couple of weeks time.

Anyway, to celebrate the launch of the World of Warcraft Voice Chat feature, Blizzard will be giving away 40 Logitech Digital Precision PC Gaming headsets for each of the next five weeks.

Each week’s winners will be randomly selected from among players who have been World of Warcraft subscribers for a minimum length of time, as shown below.

Week One: Three months
Week Two: Six months
Week Three: Nine months
Week Four: Twelve months
Week Five: Fifteen months

There are many speculations of when the next World of Warcraft expansion is going to be released. Before TBC was released Blizzard announced that they are planning to ship out an expansion per year.

This is was taken from the forums at worldofwarcraft.com:

- Are we still on track for one expansion per year for World of Warcraft?

- “This is something we talked about awhile ago and it is still a goal for us. Keep in mind that a goal isn’t a guarantee. We are always trying to add as many dungeons, items, and features as possible and this of course takes time. So when will we release Wrath of the Lich King? When it’s ready. ” -Bornakk (Blizzard Poster)

This is a classic Blizzard answer. But as always Blizzard is a company well known for releasing quality before rushing out a product, so my guesses it won’t be out until Q2-Q3 2008.

Selling and buying accounts is something very common in World of Warcraft, even though it’s strictly forbidden by Blizzard. Good geared characters are often sold for a few houndred dollars although a few weeks ago one of the currently best geared rogues available was sold – for 7,000 Euro (~$9,700).The original owner, a Night Elf Rogue named Zeuzo from the guild Method on Sylvanas(EU) was one of the two only people in the world wielding both legendary swords dropping off Illidan Stormrage, final boss of the Black Temple. He also had 4/5 parts of the tier6 armor set, together with various other drops from Black Temple and Mount Hyjal, which could be considered as the best gear available in the game right now.

The new owner goes under the name Shaks and has moved the character to the Kazzak(EU) realm.
