Today in WoW: Steve Jobs has died

Join us every weekday evening as Today in WoW runs down all the WoW news that you could possibly want. From comments from Blizzard's blues to the latest datamining info -- we've got you covered.

While the Mac won't be used for high-end gaming (although certainly many of us play WoW on them), we cannot ignore the impact that Steve Jobs has had on the tech industry as a whole. His innovations have been integral in bringing together the world, and every time you go to pick up your iPhone and access the Auction House, you have Jobs to thanks. Steve Jobs passed away today at the age of 56. He is survived by his wife Laurene and his four children.

Void storage changes
I just recently got back from a meeting with Ghostcrawler and have an update to share regarding the prices for Void Storage. Instead of charging 1000g to unlock a Void Storage vault and 100g to deposit and withdraw items, we're looking at only requiring the following amounts for each transaction:

Unlock - 100g
Deposit - 25g
Withdrawal - Free

We agree with the suggestions we've seen that placing a higher fee on withdrawals would create a stronger deterrent for using Void Storage as a secondary bank. That said, we don't want players to find themselves in a situation where they are unable to retrieve an item simply because they don't have the gold. This is why we're leaning towards a more expensive deposit (to differentiate Void Storage from a normal bank) and allowing all withdrawals to be free.


Please keep in mind that these prices may not hit the PTR and are, of course, subject to change before the release of 4.3
