The first few times I ran Vault of Archavon, I was lost. It was my first real foray into 10-man content, and I was trying to keep Archavon, Emalon and Koralon straight. Which one overcharged adds? Which cast a nasty fire that you had to get out of immediately? Is it Lightning Nova or Chain ... More

50 DKP minus if you don’t get the reference. It’s hard not to get attached to guild mates when you spend hours on end online with them working though complex strategies and making friendly jokes at their expense. On top of that, add on real-life friendships with said guildies and you’ve got one heck of a ... More

This past week, for me at least, has been all about crazy, oh-no-they-didn’t moments in WoW, and hopefully educating our dear readers a bit about how not to get duped by would-be bad apples.

Speaking of douchebaggery on the Khaz Modan server, apparently Alliance aren’t the only ones acting up. While on the same Ventrilo server where an enemy player listened in to my raid group’s precious Wintergrasp tactics, another interesting topic came up: the stealing of raid IDs. It’s been a while since I’ve heard anyone mention stealing raid ... More

A couple nights ago, I was running Wintergrasp on my server, Khaz Modan, and lamenting the fact that all day the Horde had been unsuccessful at capturing the contested zone.

Case number one: Synthebrew Goggles, the beer goggles of the WoW world, which when I equipped made everyone look like a female orc. Somewhat disturbing, but they were a ... More

WoW players now can change the race of their level 10 and higher characters - if they don’t mind dishing out $25. Blizzard unveiled its new paid race change service today, about a month after adding the service as “coming soon” on the official website. All you have to do to start the process is logon ... More
