In order to preserve the integrity of the game and provide a better token market to players, with an update to World of Warcraft on Tuesday, November 21, we will enable the following restriction in this region.
In WOD they used to sell for like 24k gold so I bought years worth of them with gold, when I ran out I started paying with real money again anyway. These days the effort required to earn enough gold to buy them is nowhere near worth it, just pay it with real money.
Thank you for informing us. Do you think the price will go down fast after 22? I have a plan to spend all my gold on tokens and move to SoD. Monofaction servers were enough for me for the rest of my existence.
Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid have plenty of incentive when they hit the pitch on Saturday -- the former eye their first Champions League title since 1997, while the latter aim for a record 15th trophy. There's plenty of incentive outside of that, though, from the trophy they will lift to the entry into other competitions and even the prize money that the club will receive for a successful trip to the British capital.
Once the final whistle blows, the Champions League winners will be eagerly awning the chance to get their hands on the trophy. It is almost two-and-a-half feet tall and weighs about 16.5 pounds, but the aim of lifting the trophy is more about the accomplishment beforehand than the actual design -- "It may not be an artistic masterpiece, but everybody in football is keen to get their hands on it," the creator of the piece of silverware, Jrg Stadelmann, once said, per UEFA.
Before the winning team receives the trophy, though, the players and the coaching staff will receive medals to mark the achievement. The winning team will be awarded 40 gold medals and has the right to hand them out as they see fit -- that includes players that may have played a small part in the run to the podium, but it is ultimately at the team's discretion. If Dortmund win, it might mean American Gio Reyna gets a medal.

The Champions League winner will receive an automatic berth to next season's competition should they need it, but the final is usually contested between two teams that already qualified through their performances in their domestic leagues. This year will be no different, since Real Madrid and Dortmund already finished in Champions League berths in La Liga and the Bundesliga, respectively.
Whoever wins on Saturday, though, will be the headlining act at the UEFA Super Cup, a celebratory one-off competition between the Champions League winner and the Europa League winner. This year's edition will take place on Aug. 14 at Stadion Narodowy in Warsaw, Poland, and it will see either Dortmund or Real Madrid face Atalanta, who won their first European title when they beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the Europa League final.
This season, prize money will be distributed in two chunks -- 55% of their winnings will be distributed based on each team's performance. Here's a look at the prize money guaranteed to each team based on their finishes in this season's competition.
Another 30%, or roughly $651 million, will be doled out based on the teams' UEFA coefficient ranking. The lowest-ranked team will earn one share, which is about $1.23 million, while the highest-ranked team will earn 32 shares, which is almost $40 million. Real Madrid rank third before the final and will be guaranteed at least 30 shares, while Dortmund sit eighth and will receive at least 25 shares.
The remaining 15%, or roughly $326 million, will come from broadcast revenues. Half of those funds will go to the national federations of the participating teams based on a fixed percentage determined by UEFA, while the other half will be handed out to teams based on the number of games they played.

HTML Transcript"Lewis and Clark," the 17-minute 1954 Encyclopedia Britannica FilmA Lewis and Clark PerspectiveAfter the difficult crossing over the Bitterroot Mountains, the Corps of Discovery had left the territory of the United States, lands acquired in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase. They were now journeying into territory Britain claimed as part of Canada (until a treaty with the United States in 1846 established the 49th parallel as the boundary separating Canada and the United States). In addition to Britian, Lewis and Clark would soon discover that these were lands that were claimed by other peoples as well, since time immemorial. What would await the Corps of Discovery? What sort of relations would be sought and negotiated by Lewis and Clark with those they would encounter? Who holds the strongest claim to these lands?On September 20th 1805, William Clark wrote in his journal:I set out early . . . proceeded on through a butifull Country for three miles to a Small Plain in which I found maney Indian lodges, at the distance of 1 mile from the lodges I met 3 boys, when they Saw me ran and hid themselves in the grass I dismounted gave my gun & horse to one of the men, searched in the grass and found 2 of the boys gave them Small pieces of ribin & Sent them forward to the village. Soon after a man Came out to meet me with great Caution and Conducted us to a large Spacious Lodge which he told me (by signs) was a Lodge of his great Chief who had Set out 3 days previous with all the Warriers of the nation to war on a South West derection & would return in 15 or 18 days. the fiew men that were left in the Village aged, great numbers of women gathered around me with much apparent Signs of fear, and apr. pleased they (those people) gave us a Small piece of Buffalow meat, Some dried Salmon berries & roots in different States, Some round and much like an onion which they call (Pas she co) quamash the bread or cake is called Pas-she-co Sweet, of this they make bread and Supe. they also gave us the bread made of this root all of which we eate hartily, I gave them a few small articles as presents, and proceeded on with a Chief to his Village 2 miles in the Same Plain, we were treated kindly in their way and continued with them all night. Those two Villages consist of about 30 double lodges, but few men a number of women & children; They call themselves Cho pun-nish or Perced Noses . . . Map
While there had been initial discussion on whether to attack or assist the Corps of Discovery, the Nimipuu ultimately extended their hands in friendship to Lewis and Clark. In Twisted Hair's village, the men of the Corps of Discovery were given lodging and fed "buffalo meat, some tried salmon berries and roots in different states," made into a "bread and soup." And they "ate heartily." The Nimipuu helped Lewis and Clark prepare maps for their journey ahead, showed them how to fashion canoes, accompanied them as guides on their journey down river, and cared for their horses until they returned the following spring. Upon their return in May of 1806, the Corps was again treated with friendship by Broken Arm and the Nimipuu, as Lewis and Clark awaited their crossing over the Bitterroots. They settled in at Camp Chopunnish, along the Clearwater River near the Heart of the Monster. The Nimipuu thus provided Lewis and Clark much needed hospitality, allowing the men of the Corps of Discovery to rest after their difficult journeys over the Bitterroot Mountains in 1805 and upon returning up the Columbia River in 1806.

While their relations with Lewis and Clark and the men of the Corps of Discovery was most amicable and promised future benefit for the Nimipuu, their meeting on the camas fields of Weippe prairie on September 20th 1805 would also signal for the Nimipuu the beginning of an unprecedented onslaught of events that would challenge the very foundations of their way of life.

HTML TranscriptSilas Whitman offers his perspective on the impact of the Corps of Discovery on the Nimipuu. (Interviewed by Josiah Pinkham in January 2002)
With the coming of the soyaapos to Indian country, the "acquisitions" included the ravages of smallpox and other epidemic diseases would take an immense toll in loss of life, felt as early as the 1780s and continuing through the nineteenth century. In 1811 the first fur traders began settling along the Clearwater River, seeking out their fortune, and soon were replaced by an even greater number of gold seekers. In 1833, missionaries would begin preaching and coercing to "save souls," and bringing with them disillusionment and factionalism that would rip families apart, pitting brother against brother, and undermining traditional ways. Governors and Superintendents of Indian Affairs would, in rather heavy-handed fashion, establish "treaties of peace" in 1855 and 1863. And with these treaties came a curtailing of a people's once unobstructed travel in alignment with the changing seasons. And with the creation of these "reserved lands" or reservations would also come the conflict of 1877 and then defeat, and an undermining of a people's sovereignty. In the 1890s, an allotment act would be unilaterally imposed onto the Nimipuu, further eroding a land-base so essential to the people.
