How Do You Want Arthas To Die?
Posted by iTZKooPA on Monday, October 5th, 2009 - 98 Comments
Patch 3.3 is so close that I can almost connect to the PTR long enough to play it. We’ve been waiting for this content patch ever since it we revealed that Arthas would be joining the game dedicated to him a little late - by C’Thun the star could never arrive on time. Now that ... More
Don’t Rule Out Garrosh Hellscream Just Yet
Posted by pixiestixy on Monday, October 5th, 2009 - 40 Comments
Warning! This post is speculative and potentially spoiler-heavy. I won’t lie. I’ve been cringing inside at the thought of Garrosh Hellscream replacing Thrall. How could he? What would this mean for the fate of the Horde? And why would Thrall allow it? Amatera’s recent post on glimpses of the changing Horde on the PTR solidified that ... More
PTR 3.3: The Guards, They Are A-Changin’
Posted by Amatera on Saturday, October 3rd, 2009 - 32 Comments
The jury’s still out on whether or not Garrosh Hellscream is truly a dangerous man.

And yet, we know somewhere in there, that he seeks to defy the more… ... More
Brewfest 2009: Festivities Extended for 2 Extra Days
Posted by pixiestixy on Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 - 9 Comments
I know, I know. I gave Brewfest a hard time when it first started up. On top of my frustrations with blurry screens and fatigued rams, Blizzard was working through some bugs that prevented players from properly using their mugs to bonk dwarves attempting to steal beer kegs. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, serious ... More

If you have been killing Coren Direbrew as often as possible this year, you probably noticed the increased drop rate for the Direbrew’s Remote as well as both of the Brewfest mounts. They now all seem to be a flat 5% drop rate. If you are lucky enough to get a remote, there are some ... More
Brewfest Comes Home: Get Your Own Tankard O’ Terror
Posted by Amatera on Friday, September 25th, 2009 - 5 Comments
You may have heard of 3 Point Entertainment before. They’re the creators of the official World of Warcraft beer steins. Well, they couldn’t just let such a monumental (and conveniently-themed) event like Brewfest just go by without honoring it, right? Of course not. And their replica of the recently added Coren Direbrew drop, the Tankard O’ Terror, ... More

Brewfest 2009: Hungover Already
Posted by pixiestixy on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 - 12 Comments
Which is the Dark Iron Dwarf, and which is the keg? They’re both short and fat - your guess is as good as mine! As iTZKooPA already pointed out in his detailed Brewfest guide, the onset of this merriest of holidays brings with it a host of achievements and quests to keep us amused while chugging ... More
