It's the little things that matter, isn't it? Every great game maker has a pretty thorough mastery of the little things. Blizzard is great at the little things. Nintendo is great at the little things. Valve is great at the little things. But BioWare just isn't in that same class, and it's ...

Pilgrim's Bounty is a new event this year in World of Warcraft. As always there's a bunch of crazy crap to do and achievements for doing said crap. One of the achievements even involves a little bit of PvP peril. For the Alliance version of Pilgrim's Peril you need to sit at a Horde table in ...

I've only done a couple of Vault of Archavon groups but I noticed that they did something really smart. There are three progressively harder bosses in VoA, one from each patch -- 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2. Anyone who does VoA and downs a boss is saved to that raid instance, along with everybody else in ...

As an admitted lover of list-making I'd been thinking about making some WoW-related lists for WoW's fifth anniversary. Then my love of procrastination and forgetting things overcame my enumeraphilia, so here we are. I've spent more time in WoW than any other game -- there's also more of WoW than ...

Slinging around required DPS is very much a child of the rampant grouping of modern WoW. Back in the day, you either raided and had raid epics, or you were horrible -- not much talk of what your actual DPS was. Today people group a lot more, and there are more sources for gear, so raid leaders ...

Blizzard introduced two non-combat pets for money this week, and a furor ensued. I don't visit the official WoW forums anymore, but I'm guessing that at least a dozen threads were filled up by people who promised (promised!) to cancel their accounts. Larisa portended a slippery slope to ...

Vault of Archavon is a new type of raid dungeon introduced in Wrath of the Lich King. It's only available to the faction that controls the (also new in Wrath) outdoor PvP zone. The bosses drop tier loot -- loot equivalent to the "tiered" armor sets available in raid dungeons. There is one ...

A couple days ago I finally hit exalted with Sons of Hodir, which means I can buy ... uh, some enchanted thing that is marginally better than the enchanted thing I could buy the day before. It's called "Progression" and it's why I play WoW, at least until Blizzard releases a marginally better ...

I'm not a fan of hardcore PvP and I never have been. This blog exists in large measure because I needed to write this post declaring my hatred for the mechanic. But it was something I always struggled with. I enjoy PvP immensely and I always wondered why I could be fond of something while being ...

I was hoping to avoid commenting on the whole RMT for pets imbroglio but I just can't resist responding to Gevlon. Gevlon declared today that he has only a single mount and explained, in true Gevlonion fashion, why this makes him a better person than everyone else : Did I ever missed some ...

stop playing, even to do my Sons of Hodir in WoW, which I'm like three days away from getting to exalted (and then never doing again). Funny that the biggest ...

Hardcore PvP is supposedly everywhere. But really it isn't. Darkfall does not have hardcore PvP. Ultima Online does not have hardcore PvP now, and it never did. EVE Online can have hardcore PvP, but most of what is called "hardcore PvP" isn't. The idea of so-called "hardcore PvP" is that death ...

PuG was once a dirty word. To some it still is. Not to me, not anymore. I've come to love the pug. I've talked about why before, but to sum it up : 1) The game is a little easier 2) the players are a little better 3) the current design of the game encourages experienced players to revisit old ...

I mentioned recently that Cataclysm made me very happy because Blizzard finally introduced Gnome Priests, a class I literally wanted to play at launch five years ago. I mentioned to my wife and my guild that I would be switching to a Gnome Priest after Cataclysm launched. For about a month, ...
