B. Tru asked:


With the recent launch of the much anticipated Warhammer Online (WAR), the burning question in many World of Warcraft (WOW) gamers’ mind is how difficult the transition from playing WOW to WAR is going to be. In this article we will examine some of the fundamental differences and similarities between the worlds of WOW and WAR.  Will the transition from one to the other be as seamless as many gamers hope it will be?

Consider the story setting

One of most pronounced differences a WOW gamer will notice when entering the WAR world is the time frame and setting.  In WAR, you are landing in the middle of an all out war of destruction and annihilation! The concept of peace is all but wishful thinking in the Warhammer Online world! If looking for trouble and a fight, there is plenty to find in World of Warcraft, however in most cases you need to go looking trouble. In WAR it is in your face, up close and personal! Even the graphic visual surroundings help to portray this difference in the world settings. The bright colors and cute bunny rabbits hopping around the countryside found in many areas of WOW have been replaced by dimly lit landscapes in WAR, showing the scars of devastation and destruction left by unending battles and blood shed.

Consider the plot

The overall plot of Warhammer Online is by most accounts much more sinister and evil than what exists in World of Warcraft. The forces of evil known as “Destruction” are made up of some very twisted  and perverse races. Conversely the side of good or “Order” is deeply rooted in religion almost to the point of fanaticism. The line between what is “right” and “pure” verses “unjust” and “evil” appears to be much less defined in WAR than in WOW. In World of Warcraft the choice between playing the side of good or evil is pretty straight forward, whereas with Warhammer Online, things may not be as they first appear. Each side, “Order” or “Destruction” have their share of skeletons in their closet!

Consider playable classes

Although Warhammer Online does offer nearly twice the number of playable classes than World of Warcraft, the basic roles filled are essentially the same. You still have healers, tanks, melee dps and ranged dps. The race you decide to play will determine the classes available. So for example if you are used playing the role of a warrior in WOW, in WAR your options would be in the form of Ironbreaker, Black Orc, Swordmaster or Chosen. Obviously this is a rough comparison as each of the WAR characters has been “tweeked” with special racial abilities as well.

Consider rules of engagement

Rules of engagement or combat is very similar in most respects between WOW and WAR.  The main noticeable difference is Warhammer Online combat appears to be slower than in World of Warcraft. This allows the defender more time to react to an attack and prepare an effective defense and possible counter attack back at his opponent. One of the most significant differences between WOW and WAR is in the area of player verses player combat (PVP). The role of PVP is much more important in Warhammer Online. In WOW, PVP is just another interesting option, whereas in WAR, only by doing PVP will you gain a special kind of experience called “reknown” that allows for unique tactics and character improvements not available anywhere else in the game.

Consider questing and leveling.

As in World of Warcraft, quest givers are NPCs marked with a symbol, (green circles in WAR verses yellow exclamation points in WOW), who will give you tasks to complete to help level. Warhammer Online also has several different categories of quest types available ranging from the tradition quest WOW players are used to gain experience, money, and/or booty up to an new type of quest called the “Public Quest” that requires players to band together to accomplish an unique objective based on the WAR storyline. Yet another interesting experience found in the WAR quests, is the Tome of Knowledge, which actually keeps a record of your quests woven into a story-like account.

Consider occupation

World of Warcraft Online players have a wide range of occupations to choose from such as mining, leather working, jewel crafting, alchemy, etc. . Not so in the WAR world. Occupations occupy a much diminished role in Warhammer Online, possibly because you are too busy trying to stay alive! Occupations in WAR are limited to creation crafts of potion-making and talisman-crafting and some minor gathering crafts.

Consider a sense of community

The sense of community or “guilds” plays a much more important role in Warhammer Online than in World of Warcraft. In WAR the traditional reasons for belonging to a guild are to find help with quests, game play advice, raiding groups, money pool, resource exchange, etc. has been greatly enhanced. As WAR players advance, so does their guild, which allows for the attainment of new abilities, guild privileges, and rights by the player.

So, can a World of Warcraft Warrior (or any other WOW class) survive in a Warhammer Online world? Definitely, “yes”! There are however enough differences between the two games to make life interesting and challenging, and there is a new learning curve, (which may or may not be initially steep depending on your WOW gaming background) as with any new gaming experience. To help flatten out the learning curve and get your WAR gaming experience up and running quickly, I do recommend looking into purchasing good Warhammer Online gaming guides for leveling and gold farming.

A lot has been said about Online Matrimony being unsafe, impersonal, deceptive etc but the fact is that matrimony in the real world is also not entirely free from duplicity.

Though it is much easier for people and families to fake their profiles online, a few precautionary steps can help you in having a safe and secure online matrimony.

 

What you should do and what you should not do while looking for a life partner online:-

 

The Don’t’s of Online Matrimony:

 

 

Don’t trust easily:

 

True and honesty are two of the most significant virtues of humanity but in Kalyug, it is more important to take certain decisions from ‘head’ instead of ‘heart’. When you are interacting with a particular person on the Internet, you should always be cautious and patient and avoid rushing into a relationship. Before trusting someone completely, never forget to ask a few questions to yourself like:

 

What ever I know about this person, is it sufficient?

If you are in doubt about your knowledge of the match, try to know him/her more before taking any step further. Take your time. It’s a decision of a lifetime.

 

Don’t sideline your instincts because of practicality:

 

Though it is difficult to give logical reasoning for your experiences and opinions, we should not sideline our instincts. If you are in self doubt a person, just cross check on him/her with the help of secret sources. Also, consider the fact that is it right to be in a relationship with someone who you need to investigate?

 

Don’t close your eyes ever:

 

Be precautious at every step. You should be concerned if he/she does any of the following without offering an acceptable explanation:

 



Regularly disappears and becomes unapproachable by phone and/or email

Provides incomplete or inconsistent information about age, interests, appearance, marital status, profession, employment, and so on

Avoids talking to you on the phone after establishing ongoing, online intimacy.

Refuses to give you a home landline number and only calls you from work

Gives indirect answers to you direct questions

Appears in person to be very different from his or her online persona

Never introduces you to friends, professional associates or any of his family members



 

The Do’s of Online Matrimony:

Do tell the complete truth about yourself as well:

 

It is equally important to be true to the other person as well. Initially, you might feel a little apprehensive but it is important to gain confidence of the other person. Remember? Honesty is the best policy.

 

Put your best picture:

 

First impression is the last impression.  You might be the most handsome or the most beautiful person alive but if your picture is somehow not matching your looks, you might miss out some interesting matches.

 

Be friendly but careful:

 

Try not to reveal much about yourself. Meet in person before talking about certain things like your family life, professional life and all that you want to share. At times, the person may turn out to be different.

 

Keep your family in loop always:

 

Your family members should know about your every step. Right from chatting to meeting, you should keep them updated. Initially, you might feel that you should be independent in your approach but your family will be first one to stand by you if a problem occurs. Ultimately, they know what’s best for you.

 

Do keep a check on your emotions:

 

It’s very easy to get infatuated with someone online. Don’t let the realities fade into the futile fantasies of online world. Though it’s not wrong to fall in love with someone, a little precaution is required. There are many people online who like fooling others by making fake and fraudulent profile. You might feel the urge to talk to that person/know more about that person but be patient. As such important decisions should not be impulsive.

 

Last but not the least, it is important to be yourself more than anything else. Just be the way you are. He/she will fall in love with you, they way you are, whether you meet him/her online or offline.

 

The probability of finding the perfect life partner is more or less even in the real or virtual world. All you need is the desire to meet and know someone, and the spirit of adventure to get you started either way!

Rick Miller asked:


ecent interview with Tellman Knudson for the List Crusade program, Joshua Shafran, revealed secrets from his Net Profits On Demand system, which he has used to sell over $30 million online.

(Note: To access Joshua Shafran’s complete audio interview for fre^e, see end of article)

Joshua is not like most “Gurus,”–he spends most of his time DOING business (instead of just talking about it). As a result his name may not be familiar to you, because he’s too busy making himself and his clients rich everyday on the front lines of business.

When asked why his Net Profits on Demand (N-POD) system is so powerful, Joshua said:

“Some people talk about the N-POD system as being an online business model creation process, but I look at it as more of a holistic approach.

My entire philosophy in business is that people have a business, period… and it’s not an online business, it’s not an offline business, it’s a business. And if they’re smart, that business has online components and offline components.

The beautiful part about the online world is that you can test things very quickly. That’s probably the biggest benefit to the online internet world is the speed at which you can test different marketing ideas and concepts, and once they’re perfected and you know they’re profitable, then roll them out and include them in the offline world as well.

I guess a lot people think of the online world as low cost, or no cost. It definitely is a lot less expensive than the offline world, but I don’t think that’s the biggest benefit, frankly.

I think the biggest benefit is the speed at which you can test and perfect your business models and then roll them out once you got them working properly.”

In the List Crusade interview, Joshua also revealed:

* The proven step-by-step N-POD system method

* The simple core principle that Joshua spent over $100,000 to learn

* A 3-step proven system that will enable you to easily set up million dollar deals with list owners

* The one vital affiliate marketing secret that will have list owners begging to help you grow your opt-in list

As you sit there reading Joshua’s secrets, you begin to realize the tremendous possibilities that exist for you. Without a doubt, Joshua Shafran’s advice can turbo charge your Internet Marketing business and allow you to take the same business and make a ton of money offline, too.

Mr Online Dating asked:


Web cam chat continues to revolutionize the world of online dating here in Australia and across the world.  In every city thousands sit in front of their computer meeting others with the same interests.  We have all heard similar stories from a number single friends about the princess who turned into a frog when that much anticipated meet took place, but that particular thought is now in the past.

 

 

 

Certainly, the success of an online date comes down to factors other than the looks department, similar interests, common morals and dreams are other factors that will factor most in a successful lasting relationship.  The opportunity to chat to someone to their face can break the ice and make the first date so much easier.

 

 

 

Modern technology has improved communication within the average home. It is pretty much safe to say that the single you are talking to owns a webcam.  Australia is such an enormous country, with a diverse multicultural population.  Online dating allows the state borders to appear unimportant and whether its a first date or you have known one another for a while,  web cam chat is a great bonus when commencing an online friendship.  It allows you to see the new potential partner that you have met and decide whether their appearance is right for you.  You may be able to see their dog, their room or perhaps their children!

 

 

 

Some online dating questions relating to webcam chat often target technical issues.  For those online dating singles who are not yet savvy to these issues, A webcam is like a camera that permits your online date to see you while you are talking online.  This technology is made up of two parts, capturing you in real time and transferring it, through your online dating site, to your new friend.  The webcam simply plugs easily into most modern computers through the USB port and this allows your online dating friend/s to see you. Obviously to see them they also need to have a webcam operating.

 

 

 

The basic hardware necessities are a webcam and a computer that is modernized enough to cope with it.  Other requirements are an internet connection with  good bandwidth otherwise your conversation will be of poor picture quality.  A dial up connection will not work for webcam chat when online dating.  A headset including a microphone and earpiece is also an advantage so that you can chat online to singles across Australia in no time!

 

 

 

So now you can check out your online dating singles and see what they look like while you chat to them, you will indeed save some money on expensive phone calls.

 

 

 

You will feel like you’ve known your online dating singles friends for ages by the time you meet up in person

Mr Online Dating asked:


There is an over supply of online dating services on the market and there are many competing dating sites trying to capitalize on niche online dating ventures. Even though there remains an over supply of online dating services, the popular dating sites are experiencing huge growth in memberships.

Australian online dating is the latest dating concept to capitalize on a new idea regarding membership subscriptions and mirroring the practice of some night clubs in allowing females entry for free while guys pay a cover charge of $3.30.

As with the night club concept there are several rooms on offer. Within a night club there is often rooms offering different themes (e.g. Techno, R & B and funky house tunes rooms. Likewise, Australian online dating  also offers an array of rooms for its members centred on different themes and topics. Members can also create their own room and control its access.

 

This fresh concept being introduced is a world first by an online dating site. The current average ratio of males vs females on dating sites is clearly unbalance with males at around 65% and females at 35%. A survey conducted by an Australian online dating service claims that their members have indicated a positive response as this new subscription concept is a positive for both males and females.

 

A spokesman from the online dating industry that assisted with this article was asked, “Why is this concept a winner”? “Free for females is obviously a great thing, and there’s no catch - free means free. The advantage for the guys is that they can capitalize on the increase of new and interesting female members who will no doubt take advantage of the free memberships. All the guys pay is from $3.30 for full access and the potential to meet 1000s of real single ladies on this online dating site. Guys can finally navigate around a dating site with a balance of female to male members rather than one that is dominated by too many males and not enough females.”

It’s a link with tradition, like men paying for the lady on a date, or offering her a drink to get to know her. Similarly, this idea of free online dating for females and paid online dating for men has taken the concept of traditions shared between men and women in our society and applied it to the online dating world. There has been a plethora of free online dating services and free online chat rooms of late but none have taken the bold leap of the Australian online dating site offering free online dating to ladies.

A leading Australian consumer magazine recently compared the cost of popular ways to find singles. $50.00-$200.00 per night will give the city guys and girls a night out on the town, taking into consideration taxi fares, drinks, food and maybe some new clothes or a new do. If you’re doing this once or twice a week the annual cost is around $8000.00 per year for your average sociable guy or gal. By comparison, it can cost as little as $50.00 per year to use an online dating service. The math says it all.

It has also been reported by recent studies into the lifestyle of singles that online dating services offer members a wider choice of singles than conventional dating options. The internet provides a cost effective and safe environment to find singles in a no hassle environment, with over 20000000 visitors per month searching online for singles and chat rooms on a global scale.

Nisha Garg asked:


In the world where the communication dynamics change rapidly, sharing videos has become the latest obsession among the modern day generation. The pioneers of this obsession have been the young generation that has revolted against the usual methodology of effecting communication and tried its hand at something that is very distinct but very interactive since it consists of dynamic motion pictures.

As said earlier, the credit for extending this craze to upload videos goes to the young generation whose initiative has seen this phenomenon reaching the most remote corners in the minimum time span. Another cause that has contributed significantly to this widespread phenomenon has been the surge in the world of Internet. Yes, Internet is no longer restricted to traditional role frame. Eventually, it has proceeded a step further and come out of it. Today it is a tool for effecting interactive form of communication and video sharing is one illustration of it.

Another significant contributing factor has been the tremendous rise in the number of social networking websites in the online world of Internet. These social networking websites provide the much-needed platform for the interested people to weave their social network in the figurative world of online that spans across the world. An ideal launchpad for budding film-makers, the videos available on these social networking websites portray the real talent of a person. Thus, both the amateurs and professionals treat these video portals as the start-up steps towards their dream destination. What more, by uploading videos who knows might fetch you a dream opportunity and of course name and fame might follow. Many social networking websites and video portals such as Youtring, Youtube etc are some of the few prominent names in the world of online videos.

The procedure to upload online videos is quite simple. Interested person can upload videos via means of mobile phones and also by their personal computers. With little and limited one time investment, people can actually turn their dreams into reality. What more, if the person has necessary accessories in the baggage, he/she can certainly make the most of it. However, one thing that needs to be kept in mind is the moral obligation, since, some people use this opportunity to upload videos clips that contains objectionable content which could hurt the sentiments of some particular people, group or community. Also, uploading an online video or clip containing a porn stuff or morally-offending stuff could also invite serious repercussions from the online moral policing organs. More so, action could be taken against the culprit whose deed could spark off a controversy.

The popularity of this mode of interactive communication ie upload video clips has also caught the fancy of the prominent corporate giants, which are thinking to invest into this profit-churning business mode. Certainly, their intentions can be rooted down to their wish of extending their business empire to all parts of the world. Thus, in near future one can expect to see a flood of these social networking websites that could engulf the whole world.

Jenny Cumbersome asked:


All it takes sometimes it a person that has a need to hide online, maybe from pears at work or students at school, no one really knows why these people throw themselves in World of Warcraft. Who knows how a game addiction develops. Scientists are beginning to study the phenomena is just now. You could say that its a bit late when you think about the gamers that died the past years while they were playing all kinds of online games. Maybe the reason that young girl in South Korea was hiding online in World of Warcraft was because she was being neglected, we will never know. Then there was that man that was found dehydrated while playing an online game and probably in hiding from something in the real world.

Lets take a closer look

Having a World of Warcraft addiction is not very different from other types of addictions seen in certain persons. The majority of people playing this game online will never have any form of problem at all, the small group of persons who are addicted to World of Warcraft and use it to hide online would have used any game for this purpose. The moment they are away from the game you will see that they start to show signs of withdrawal symptoms. Irritation and anxiousness will start to show and the need to get back online as quick as possible. This group of people have deep psychological issues and these will set them up to become addicted and it could have been anything in which they would be able to hide and create their own world, the game is not to be blamed for this. And we are talking a few dozen against millions and millions of people who go about the game in mostly a normal manner.

Some things that would give away a (starting) addiction would be if a school going person would start to miss classes or gets to school late on a regular basis, homework not getting done etc. etc. Although these could also be signs of depressions the two, depression and hiding in an online world, could be linked together. As a family or friend, the best thing to do is to seek professional help. We need to get the person involved back to what we call a normal and healthy life and away from the keyboard.

Being a World of Warcraft addict in itself is not a bad thing, hiding in an online world for a little bit is not that bad either. Their is a very small change that people cross over the border and become a problem case in which there is an even smaller change of it becoming a cause of dead scenario. If you notice a friend or family member playing online and starting to become addicted to these type of games then take their minds of the game by doing something completely different. And you should always consider getting advice from a professional.

Always remember, when you read these kinds of news items, that it is about a very small group compared to the millions and millions of World of Warcraft ‘addicts’ that are happy playing the game almost every day.

Al Zan asked:


Many people are reluctant to attempt an online business because they don’t personally posses the technical skills to build a web site themselves. In the past this was a realistic reason to avoid an online business venture. However, as the Internet has matured so have the turnkey web site software tools that are available. Today, it is quite easy to bring up a site without any programming skills whatsoever. This possibility opens the online business world to an entirely new set of players.

If you are new to the online world and would like to start a small online home business for extra income, I would highly encourage it. It’s loads of fun and can stimulate your thinking in many new ways. That being said, please don’t quit your day-job just yet. It’s a competitive world on the Internet and the best strategy is to ease into it while you still have a regular income.

That being said, for the new beginner here are the simple steps that you can follow to bring up a turnkey web site and start generating affiliate revenues quite easily. First, you need to join 3 different affiliate programs. These are all well-known brands so you should have no hesitations.

1) Amazon Associates

2) Google AdSense

3) Commission Junction (which is where eBay has outsourced their affiliate program).

Now you have three viable revenue sources. Each of the companies list above will pay you for every sale that results from Internet traffic you send them. That’s right, you are now part of the extended sales force for Amazon and eBay. That will give you a world of products to sell without having to hold any inventory. The only problem now is that you don’t have any Internet real estate where you can market these products and generate sales leads. If you were technical, I’d say get to work and build your own site. However, the entire purpose of this article is to highlight how you can still run a successful online marketing business with turnkey web site software and no coding whatsoever.

To launch your web presence, I recommend the IncomeStores.com turnkey web site platform. I work very closely with this project so I have a high degree of confidence in the product. I speak to site owners every day who are making strong revenues from their IncomeStores. Additionally, there was a public beta-test held at the DigialPoint Forum where the results were openly discussed among 25 active members of the forum with no previous connection to the software. For more details on the software, see the site.

In conclusion, the fact that you don’t possess programming skills is no longer a valid reason for not starting an online business. If you have a passion for business and really want to take part of the online revolution, a turnkey web site is your answer. Following the simple steps in this article will quickly get your online business up and running.

Mr Online Dating asked:


Online dating site hookmeup.com.au plans to announce this Friday its plans to invite advertisers onto its dating site. The decision comes as hookmeup.com.au endeavours to continue offering members 100% free access across Australia.

 

dating site owner Matt Fuller estimates his spend at tens of thousands of dollars investing in expert advice and state of the art online dating software. Matt has employed industry experts and advisors over the past eleven months fine tuning every detail to give singles the very best user experience. Just as important, keeping it a free online dating site. With an over saturation of online dating sites on the market, http://www.hookmeup.com.au is making a point of difference by creating a new strategy so it remains free and plans to pay for the site costs via advertising.

 

Most businesses in their first year of operation will lose money. According to business leaders and entrepreneurs interviewed by Mr Fuller during the research phase, 70%-80% of a business start up allowance should represent research and due diligence.

Other research carried out by the Australian dating site owner, discovered over two thirds of new businesses fail within five years. Time after time lack of research is to blame.

 

Even extensive research doesn’t always shield successful businesses being swallowed up by larger companies with huge cash resources. The online dating industry has in recent times seen the larger online dating companies take over smaller internet dating companies in order to launch operations into new countries armed with an instant data base of current and local singles.

 

In recent times, online dating giant match.com has joined forces with Terra Latin America, the largest internet singles dating provider in the region. As a result of the partnership Match will now have an incredible fifty six million unique visits per month. Its these kind of figures that make it impossible for the smaller online dating sites to compete. Many smaller businesses world wide across many industries are falling victim to larger national companies.

 

RSVP, Australia’s largest internet dating site is another example of big companies snapping up opportunities in the endless search for larger profits. John Fairfax Holdings Limited recently bought RSVP for $38.50 million dollars. Fairfax has claimed that the market growth for online dating has been pushed by increasing social acceptability of time starved singles. Online publishers association claim online dating is the largest paid online content category in America.

 

With such huge companies in the market, a point of difference is the only possibility for success with new dating companies. The one thing http://www.hookmeup.com can provide above the larger online dating sites is they don’t charge any fees for their services. There are several other free online dating websites emerging to combat big business, and it seems to be adding a new spin on things. Some free dating sites even promote the paid ones and receive commissions in return. Google is also taking a slice of the action by advertising their Adwords ads on the free dating sites. The free online dating websites get paid by Google for sending traffic to the paid ones. It is certainly a sign of competitive times when businesses are resorting to giving their goods and services away. Good news for singles looking to join an online dating site though.

douglasstillson asked:


There is a growing trend in recent years of individuals opting for self help of troubling issues rather than seeking out a professional counselor. Until recently, this type of self therapy was mainly carried out by reading books and other resource materials on self help. These books covered anything from becoming successful in business to gaining more self esteem and overcoming childhood traumas. The movement of the self help books led into watching self help television programs. These included a wide variety of talk shows with Phil Donahue, Oprah and Dr. Phil, to name a few. From here, the self help trend has moved into the online world.

Now this is becoming a popular way for people to handle self help issues. The idea of turning to the internet for self help is appealing to most people because of their wanting to keep these sort of issues private. The thought of confiding in another individual, not to mention a therapist, evokes feelings of embarrassment and low self esteem. Most individuals would rather turn to a place where anonymity can be maintained. Self help web sites provide just that.

One of the biggest online self help websites is selfgrowth.com. Here an individual can find a wealth of information covering practically every topic known in regards to self help. There are article, web and expert directories available to point a user in the right direction. There are seven different sections pertaining to things like success skills, relationships, money, health, mental health, spirituality and diet. In addition to these detailed sections, a user is able to read recent self help newsletters and inspirational quotes. There are also discussion boards available where a user can read comments or participate in discussion groups if desired.

There are many websites online that tailor to the self help crowd. For users, this is the perfect way to deal with self help issues without the need to take the issues public. Online self help provides a way to medicate an emotional ailment without leaving the privacy or comforts of home.
