You’re the one who sits in front of
your computer. You’re the one who has to look
at the back of your toon’s head all night (or day). You’re the one who has to put the gold into gems, enchants, and glyphs. You’re the one doing the necessary rep grinds. Most ...

Blizzard’s opened up the virtual pet store where
you can purchase the first of several pets to
come. I don’t actually know this, but I’m fairly certain we’ll be seeing more purchasable pets later. What’s the big deal? In a nutshell, the micro-transaction MMO model involves consumers paying ...

of disenchant as a loot option. I’m personally quite
happy with it. I have an enchanter of my own and I sympathize with the hassles that enchanters go through in instances and the like. The enchanting process now Here’s the steps ...

This raid cycle is about to end soon
and I know there are many guilds who are
gradually bleeding members to life and other obligations outside of the game. It’s becoming a tough stretch to even field a full competent crew for ToGC 25. Right now, even though we’re recruiting for ToGC 25 , I ...

For some reason, I hardly seem to get
tagged for these anymore. My friends tell me it’s

On this Friday afternoon, I had this little
musing whilst zoning out on my break from work.
When I was much more PvP-oriented, I would run Battlegrounds with guildmates. We would throw a small group of three or four people together and queue up for whatever we could. Endless chains of ...

The PTR. Public. Test. Realm. It’s been our
best friend and our worst enemy. People will flock
to it, and then people will cry outrage or joy at its contents. Some avoid it like the plague, while others spend more time in its embrace than in the game itself. I have a huge ...

Several weeks ago, the leaders of two guilds
met together. Both had a serious problem. Both guilds
had 2 players that had 30 fragments for Val’anyr but did not have the drive nor the personnel at the time to pull it off. An agreement was made to launch an operation into Ulduar to finish off ...
