A host of free and paid apps to enhance your WoW experience
Cataclysm impends over the World of Warcraft (WoW) universe, and seasoned WoW fans are in for a major reshuffle in the game world and strategy, which will level the playing field for everyone including the n00bs. This will most certainly make it more appealing for the first timers to join in to the online mayhem. Those who are apprehensive of the long term commitment with the game, which is notorious for taking over your life, may find it even more intimidating that the game is all poised to move from your bedroom and into your mobile. There just may be no way to escape the Cataclysm now.
Depending upon how you look at you WoW addiction, those embracing it will find it heartening to hear that your favourite MMORPG is coming to the Android platform; albeit, much to the relief of those trying to control their WoW habit, not in the form of the game, but as a series of applications on the Android Market. Some of these apps are intended to prove useful as supplementary aids, as you spam away at the controls on your PC, which is a welcome inclusion for WoW junkies, who are always on the lookout for that extra bit of edge to their gameplay. Let's take a closer look at what is in store for WoW fans:
Battle.net Authenticator: We all know the scale and the seriousness of the economics permeating WoW universe. Items and gold are traded on ebay in real life money. In that case, someone who's invested an inordinate amount of time and money into the game can't be blamed for being paranoid about security. This official app addresses the security issue by generating random keycodes for a secure login. The app generates unique codes for each login, enhancing security to level where only serious hackers can even consider messing with you. Blizzard has released this application for the good price of free, to thwart script kiddies from subverting your account.
WoW Tool: This app is a do-it-all multi-tool for all your WoW information. WoW Tool keeps you updated with statistics and information regarding the different weapon and character upgrades among other things. It also features a drop rate calculator and a PvP arena calculator that projects the time taken to reach a certain rank or procure your choice of gear.
