iTZKooPA is not a turtle, but a Gnome born around the shores of a frozen lake in Dun Morogh. Being born a gnome iTZKooPA is an accomplished swimmer, only matched by the best of those in the Azerothian games. When not fighting off the Troggs in hopes of recapturing Gnomeregan, iTZKooPA spends his time in the shadows. Quietly stalking anyone and anything who may have the delicious loot he so direly needs to complete his next cooking recipe. You can look for him if you dare, but once you find him it may already be to late.
Wrath of the Lich King Artbook Hints At Incoming Armor Sets?
Posted by iTZKooPA on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 - 11 Comments
Most players who care already know what the Tier 7 loot is going to look like. The loot from the retuned Naxxramas - which, by the way, has already been beaten - will be styled after the look from the old Tier 3 of vanilla WoW’s Naxxramas 40. Styled doesn’t mean copied however, with Blizzard ... MoreA Wrathful Weekend

Photograph by L. Simon. Like many of you, I am taking my time in getting to level 80. I did not create an elaborate flowchart of areas to tackle, research the best grinding spots or enlist a friendly Priest, Paladin, Shaman and Warrior for their buffs. Last night I got a few of my ...

We all knew that there would be plenty of people out their racing to hit level 80 as soon as possible. Not you racing against your friend or guildmate. I mean someone who would take vacation, go without sleep, eat dry packets of Ramen (hey, the saliva will hydrate it) and pee in empty ... MoreGeneral Chat Discovery

Thanks WSU.edu and Mark J. Berry Trade Chat and General Chat are certainly odd beasts. I consider Trade Chat to be one of the most mistreated features in World of Warcraft, as it is hardly ever used for its purpose, facilitating the buying and selling of goods. More often than not I simply ignore ... MoreMidnight Launch Madness: The Recap
Posted by iTZKooPA on Thursday, November 13th, 2008 - 19 Comments
The Line As We Approach Launch I pulled up to Gamestop last night just after 10:15 PM to see about fifteen people milling around outside the store. After fumbling with my bikelock in the 46 degree weather for a few minutes, I finally joined the crowd and jumped in on my first discussion, QQing about Retribution ... MoreMidnight Launch Madness

Photo by Robin. June 2007 Hey, guess what. Wrath of the Lich King comes out tomorrow morning at 12:01 AM! Score! To celebrate I will be heading to a local midnight release party in the mean streets of South Philadelphia. I took a few minutes out this morning to pack a “survival ...

Oh, Wrath of the Lich King, how we await your arrival. Come Wednesday night, I will be camping my local EBGames for my copy of Wrath, only to receive my Collector’s Edition in the mail the following day or so. Yes, I am that excited for Northrend. It appears I am not the only one, for ... MoreRogue Does It From Behind; I Die

What a weekend. I told myself that I would have to get to level 67 on my Priest, if I wanted to make sure that she was ready for Wrath. I informed my girlfriend of my goal, and although she doesn’t know too much about the game (“Worlds of Warcrafts”), or exactly how ... MoreBlizzard Not Worried About Other MMOs; Still Retaining Users

Posted by iTZKooPA on Thursday, November 6th, 2008 - 16 Comments
During the (incredibly short) leveling process my Priest was mostly specced Shadow, with a little bit of Discipline thrown in for good measure. Upon hitting level 60, and no longer gaining the benefits of the Refer-a-Friend program, I promptly respecced Holy. It has been three weeks since the change, and I feel that I ... More
