Cryptozoic unveils new WoW TCG community site

by Michael Sacco Dec 17th 2010 at 6:00PM

After picking up the license for WoW TCG, Cryptozoic Entertainment has done a great job supporting the game and fostering its community. The only thing missing so far has been ... a functional website. The old Cryptozoic site just wasn't cutting it. Thankfully, today marks the release of the brand new WoWTCG.com, and it's a beauty. Visitors to the site can find hobby stores in their area, tutorials on how the play TCG and what they need to play it, galleries of TCG's fantastic artwork, and even special pages for each loot card. That's on top of the regular previews and strategy articles. Nice job, Crypto!

Any word on if Crypto. Will develop an online version of the game?

I think they subcontracted that out to a small time developer in Irvine, who built what amounts to an interactive chat program with cute graphics and some basic combat, but stays focused around the core concepts.

It launched roughly 6 years ago, if I recall...

...and is kinda popular...

Oh hell, I cant keep a straight face. Im talking about WoW. WoW is the online version of the WoW Trading Card game.

Oh, yo so funny. He obviously meant something like the Yu-gi-oh game or stuff like that.

@Eldoron

I understood exactly what he meant. Which is why I went a completely opposite direction with it. I refer to it as Misdirection Humor (or Trick of the Trade Chat, if you're more into Rogues). Its kind of my specialty, if there is such a thing. That, and drawing WoW characters in compromising positions, but thats a topic for another day.

Basically, when you boil it down (on a low simmer for 30-45 minutes) there is an unwritten EULA of the Internet. It covers all sorts of things, including the class Rule 34 ("if it exists, theres porn of it") but it also encompasses this little tidbit: Much like the US Miranda Rights, anything you say can and will be used against you. The moment you press that submit button, you hand over whatever you just typed to the trolls, tricksters and grammar nazis of the world wide web. Its just how things work.

I know if OCTGN2 (Online Card Table & Game Network) ever comes out, it will support it. I should probably dig up that site on my reader and see how the development is going on it.

According to a leaked and entirely unconfirmed programming schedule over on MMO Champion the WoW TCG online game is pencilled in for a 2012 launch.

Gutted I couldn't make the local Worldbreaker release event today, but sometime between 3 and 6 am we had about seven inches of snow. Not fun when you live in the middle of fields on a rural bus route. Bah.

I'll just have to log-in and punch some internet dragons instead.

Those forums are not at all interessting, bacause of that statement: "No trading for in-game gold. This is prohibited by Blizzard, not just CZE."

Which isn't even true at all. There is a reason why they changed that TCG stuff to BoE. No one could possible believe that it would be forbidden to trade an ingame item for ingame gold...
