So, I’m sitting in Stormwind on the 3.0.2 PTR server, relearning Inscription for my Inscription levelling guide, and I’m idly watching trade chat go by.
The number of people who expect Northrend to be in the 3.0.2 patch is astounding. I mourn for the lost arts of reading comprehension.
(In other news, yes, this means the Inscription [...]

Well, that was fantastic fun :)
I’m still doing Warsong Gulch at the moment, because I need 90 tokens – 30 for the Black War Elekk and 60 for the tabard – and I’ve got about 20. Oh, and rep… slowly, slowly.
My last game:

If more battlegrounds were like that, I could really enjoy them – an [...]

I’m out of town visiting family for a few days – I do have internet access, so I’ll be around to reply to comments and chat if anyone needs to get hold of me, but don’t expect any major posts from me in the next two or three days.
In the meantime, a piece of news [...]

And yet, and yet… only the most hard-hearted players are [...]

…when Wrath of the Lich King hits.
This is this week’s Shared Topic from Blog Azeroth, a question posed by Dechion of Dechion’s Place.
What Will I Be Doing On Wrath Day?
…Trying to update my mods.
No, Seriously…
I actually hope to have my UI all fixed and ready to go, testing it on the 3.0 PTR and on [...]

Blizzard has tried hard to make so much of the game smooth and fun, cutting out factors other MMOs think necessary (like, say, corpse runs or XP loss on death) because they recognised they’re not fun.

Discussion of the new Achievement system in WotLK has often referred to the fact that completing certain Achievements will grant their own rewards. Here’s a quick guide to the system as it stands at the moment.

I finally met my Waterloo, the grind that even I cannot contemplate.
I have a long and grindy history in Azeroth. I thought nothing of doing Revered with the Aldor and then Exalted with the Scryer (requiring a hefty amount of basilisk-killing in the middle) with my paladin because I wanted all the jewelcrafting recipes. I [...]
