And as a thank you to you WoW Insider readers for all your support, she's having a sale just for you: from now until August 31st, you can put in the code "wowinsider" without the quotes at the checkout screen to get 25% off your entire order.
Manaprincess is definitely one of the best vendors in the crafting community, and it's great to see her up and running in a brand new store. If you're looking for some fun WoW-related gifts or crafts for yourself, her store is definitely one of the places to look.

Seriously? You took a rock, painted it green and put glitter on it... Not it's a $16 rock. Anyone who pays for this garbage is an utter idiot.

DPS and WOOT for me!

Those things look like the "His and Her" lubes made by KY LOL
See for yourself!

Huh, are negative comments getting deleted today? That's the second time I've seen one vaporize.

I'm simplifying in the same way one might call something "a green rock with glitter" (though this could be accurate, I dunno, I didn't look at the products).

Er, forget that. My original point -- a lot of people would consider paying $15 a month to kill digital wolves a pretty poor investment in the first place.

I would say that if you are spending $15 dollars a month to only simply kill digital wolves then perhaps it is a poor investment, but if you are doing more than that maybe it isn't.

There are lots of silly things to spend $15 on. It is really up to the individual. If they themselves feel they are entertained and feel the price is worth it, then it probably was. :)

Is this legal? I mean, she's making designs from WoW's designs. I can see the mana and healing potions, that's not copywritten. But the hearth stone design is trademarked along with the rune portals. Wouldn't it? She's also calling it a "hearthstone." Just curious.
Marty Jul 7th 2008 7:07PM
My guess would be that Blizzard does indeed have the grounds for a cease and desist order for the hearthstone and runes.
Whether or not they choose to pursue it, or when, is another matter entirely.

Um, those items are horribly crafted and incredibly overpriced.

True that. Also? The support ribbons don't stick well and fade quickly. The keychains fall apart. And when she promises she'll fix something from these complaints, she doesn't.

Look I put some colored water in a glass thing and attached a string to it!
$15 please.

I lold!

Grab a pack of cell phone accessory lanyards, a few packs of sculpy/fimo at your local craft store and voila - make one for yourself and friends for less than $15. This just strikes me as a DIY project.
The profiting off of copyrighted material is not cool. As a so called artist, I wonder if she would be upset if someone were to profit off of her original designs?

Yeah, they're cute and all, but this is the kind of "cute" that your toddler shows you coming home from preschool craft day. The healthstones, in particular, look pretty pathetic. Green blobs? Seriously?
As mentioned before, that shop also violates all kinds of copyright law. Fair use only covers you if it's not for profit.
Please, WoWInsider, if you're going to shamelessly advertise for shops like this, at least make sure that they're legitimate with at least passably decent products.
