UDE Points Program Suspended

By 1 Comment

It seems that Upper Deck has suspended the redemption of UDE Points from their online store. It was rumored that items were going to probably be in short supply, but this comes as a surprise to many, as it came without warning.

From the official WoW Forums:

The UD points program has been suspended. We realize that many of the prizes provided through the program were virtual items used in the on-line World of War craft game. We are actively working with Blizzard on a possible solution. Please keep checking the website where we will post all updates.

Thank You,

The Upper Deck Company

Since this post was not made by a representative of Blizzard or UDE, it is not an official announcement. However, it does appear that many others have been shut down when trying to redeem their UDE Points at the Upper Deck website.

No update has been given as to whether or not the program will be reinstated in the near future.

Wrathgate Sneak Preview Contest winner chosen

By Leave a Comment

Cryptozoic Entertainment has chosen Matt Lundh as the winner of their Wrathgate Sneak Preview Contest!

You may recall that last month Cryptozoic announced plans for a contest that would send one winner and a guest to their headquarters in Irvine, CA. Contest participants were asked to prove to Cryptozoic why they were most deserving of the prize package.

Well… Matt, along with some selfless buddies who lobbied for Matt in lieu of entering themselves, proved to Cryptozoic that he deserved to win the Wrathgate contest.

View Matt's official video entry below.

In addition to exclaiming his love for the WoW TCG, his friends also vouched for the fact that Matt is just a genuinely “nice guy”. This fact definitely helped to sway the vote in his favor.

See the official post about Matt's selection as the winner of the Wrathgate Sneak Preview Contest at the Cryptozoic website.

By Leave a Comment

Cryptozoic Entertainment is hosting a contest that will send one lucky winner and a guest to their headquarters in Irvine, CA.

The contest package includes round trip airfare for two, a 2 night stay in Irvine, a tour of the Cryptozoic offices, a couple of comped meals, and possibly even some cool WoW TCG Swag thrown in.

But wait… that's not all..!

The trip coincides with the release of the Wrathgate Expansion, which means you, your guest and the Cryptozoic employees will be among the first to preview the new WoW TCG expansion. How cool is that..?!

Also, you'll not only be busting open packs with the Cryptozoic peeps, but you'll also be able to partake in their playing of the WoW TCG in their sneak preview afternoon hooky-fest.

All you have to do for your chance at the trip, is to tell the folks at Cryptozoic why you want to come over to Irvine and play the WoW TCG with them.

Entries must be received before 12am on April 23rd, so get on it!

Celestial Steed Mount and Lil’ XT pet now available at the Blizzard Store

By Leave a Comment

Blizzard has just added two new exciting in-game loots to its online store today. One of them is a mount! GASP!

The Celestial Steed is the first mount ever offered via the Blizzard Store. It applies to all of the characters in your account and its speed will scale with your characters' riding ability.

The Celestial Steed mount and Lil XT pet are both available now in the Blizzard Store.

Celestial Steed & Lil' XT

Celestial Steed

Celestial SteedPrice: $25.00
Speed: This mount scales with your riding skill, all the way to 310% if you possess another mount of that speed.

This is obviously a big announcement, as this is the first time Blizzard has offered a purchasable mount through their online store. Being that many players spend anywhere from $150 to $500, on up to $1000 (Spectral Tiger of course) for mount loot on ebay, I'd expect sales on this to be huge at only $25. Not to mention, this mount applies to all of your characters, not just the one with the redemption code. Yes, that's right… all of your existing and future characters will receive this mount.

Sounds too good to be true, eh..? 🙂

Lil' XT

Lil' XTPrice: $10.00

Lil' XT is an exact replica of the much larger version of his self residing in Ulduar. He also behaves in much the same way. He has various emotes including:

  • He performs his calisthenics. No Lil' XT pet would be complete without doing his warm-ups.
  • He throws his tantrum and pounds his fists on the ground. “NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO..!”
  • He kneels down for a snooze. “Aaahh… so tired. I'll rest for just a moment”.

As with the other Blizzard Store pet loots, Lil' XT will apply to all existing and future accounts.

WoW TCG Wrathgate expansion to hit stores on May 25th

By Leave a Comment

The second set in the WoW TCG Wrath of the Lich King block, Wrathgate, is set to be released in stores worldwide on May 25th.

Each booster pack will contain 19 cards, with the possibility of containing one of the exciting new Loot Cards. Wrathgate will contain a flying mount loot card redeemable for a Blazing Hippogryph, as well as an uncommon loot card redeemable for a fun in-game statue generator. The Statue Generator creates a larger-than-life statue version of your character that lasts for five minutes and places your characetr in a /flex pose. Fun stuff.

Perhaps the most exciting of the new loot cards in Wrathgate is the Landro's Gift Box. Similar to Landro's Pet Box, Landro's Gift Box awards players with a grab bag of sorts. What's so special about about the Gift Box however, is that it has a chance of containing a mount from one of the previous WoW TCG expansions. This includes the *gasp* Spectral Tiger *gasp*!!!

Blazing Hippogryph

WoW TCG WrathgateStores that purchase direct from an authorized Cryptozoic distributor will be offering an exclusive card for players who purchase a booster box. The card is an extended art Torch of Holy Fire, which will be given away free with the purchase of a booster box. Again, this offer is exclusive to hobby stores that are taking part in the Buy-A-Box program.

For more info on the Wrathgate release, visit the Cryptozoic website.
