With Christmas coming up, this is usually about the time I start thinking about what I need to get for people. This year's not too bad, because I have a lot of friends I've met that play WoW, both IRL and in-game.
People I've met on-line are easy. I get them something INSIDE WoW. Most people don't even think about this, but when it hit me, it was a real "duh" moment. What could be better, especially if you met them in some tavern or on the battlefield. A player will always appreciate getting some gear they didn't have and it doesn't cost you any real money. Consider giving that person you were questing with a Blade of Misfortune or a pair of Boots of Avoidance. You'll be amazed at how much an in-game gift is appreciated.
If you would rather shop around in the real world, here are a few ideas to get you started:
- World of Warcraft Battle Chest
- Obviously, this one is for someone you think might like the game, but hasn't started, yet.
- World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Expansion Pack
- Great expansion that opens up Northrend. You must have the original World of Warcraft game and The Burning Crusade expansion pack in order to run Lich King.
- World Of Warcraft Expansion: Burning Crusade
- Burning Crusade opens up Outland and adds a couple new races to play. Don't buy this if you plan on buying the Battle Chest (above), it's included in it.
- World of Warcraft Atlas, Second Edition
- Complete set of maps of all the cities, regions, battlegrounds, etc. Also has an exhaustive index of all things WoW.
- World of Warcraft 60 Day Pre-Paid Time Card
- This is my favorite on this list! No matter what level your friend is, they can ALWAYS use some free time on0line! You can't go wrong giving them 2 months of free time.
- For The Really Hardcore Gamer, There's Actually MANA!
If you're looking at World of Warcraft power leveling guides... I looked at a lot of them, but I keep coming back to the one I use. The Zygor Power Leveling Guides. There just isn't anything else I could recommend. Check it out here.
Whatever level your person is, you've got a LOT of options just in the World of Warcraft area. These are just a few ideas to get you started. You can find most of these and much more at Amazon.com.
