Faction Auction House

From WorldofWikicraft

[edit] Intro

The first rule of any investment, even a virtual one, is to know what you're investing in. Putting your money in Nexus Crystals might sound like a good idea at first, but so did Pets.com stock in the 90's.

Watch your server's prices for a couple days, a little research can save a lot of heartache.
