Our sister site, Wowhead.com introduced Premium Features today.  If you have ever used Wowhead, like me, you know how awesome the site is. Well now, boys and girls, Wowhead has goodies! These goodies are not a mandatory purchase, nor is premium required for your Wowhead browsing enjoyment. You will still be able to search and use Wowhead just as you have done all along. Some of the new features include removal of ads and the captcha and the use of custom forum avatars. You can read the entire list of additions after the break!

And for those of you who are already ZAM premium subscribers, Wowhead is now in your arsenal for top notch information about World of Warcraft.

One more great addition, with the roll-out of the premium features at Wowhead, is the "Refer-a-friend." This is not just at Wowhead; you can use this feature, right here, on ZAM.com. That's right folks, refer a friend, a guildmate, or your mom to purchase a premium subscription and you will receive ONE month FREE premium. Not only can you enjoy your two favorite sites ad free, but earn a FREE month as well for telling your friends!

Per Malgayne on Wowhead's newest addition:

Please note (and this is incredibly important): Wowhead is not becoming a pay site. We have no intention of charging you for existing features. We believe Wowhead should always remain free, and it's very important to us that users who do NOT choose to upgrade to a Premium account are not penalized in any way. Wowhead Premium is just a way for you to make your Wowhead experience better, become more involved in the site, and to show everyone how cool you truly are—and a way for us to say thank you for your years of support. :)

The list of goodies that Wowhead has added is:

• No ads (also makes the pages wider for better viewing!)
• No captcha (the little "enter the code in the box" thing)
• Custom forum avatars
• A free pass to the front of the Armory queue whenever you request Profiler resyncs
• Increased character limits for comments and forum posts
• Access to a special email address for input on site features and direction
• A special Premium border for your forum avatar
• A special Premium badge for your user page
• Premium access to ZAM.com, Allakhazam and WoWInterface and all the features found there

You can read more about the new premium features in a blog posted by Malgayne on Wowhead.com.

Great job guys!
