WoW Gold is the backbone of the game

　　WoW Gold is the backbone of the game. Without gold, you're an armor less ugly betty. With it, you're riding high on your mount with your new twink weapon that you will out level in three days, and spend gold wherever you want when ever you want. See something selling in the auction house and you think you want it, but it costs 150 gold? Screw it, you're loaded, I buy dumb stuff and give away gold all the time.

　　The vast majority of the 6 million subscribers to World of Warcraft play on servers controlled by the creator of the game, Blizzard Entertainment. However, a few enterprising individuals have managed to get their hands on copies of the server program and are now running their own, independent servers. These WoW servers are 'renegade' servers - if Blizzard ever found them, you can be sure they would be shut down! However, these servers do provide a service that other WOW servers do not - far more stringent user caps, a more encapsulated community, GM run events and in many cases a much lower fee to play (or perhaps no fee at all!)

　　For the rest of us though, we play on the WoW servers which hosts thousands of people per realm, all competing for the highest PVP rank, the best epic gear and jockeying for positions in the most elite Guilds on the server. Guilds are really the only way players will ever be able to see the inside of Epic dungeons such as Molten Core and Blackwing Lair. These 40-man raids require co-ordination, effort, strategy and skill to defeat, and only in large, powerful guilds, would this be made possible. These guilds only accept players of a certain caliber in level, skill and gear.
