3.3: Official Shadowmourne Preview
Posted by Amatera on Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 - 14 Comments
As cool as it would be to get your hands on the Lich King’s wretched blade, Frostmourne, it remains far too powerful and evil for the average hero to withstand its influence (never mind that you’ve killed more world-destroying threats at this point than any NPC to date). Nonetheless, there must be some weapon out ... More

Posted by Amatera on Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 - 7 Comments
Likely in accordance with the raid testing today, 3.3 has been updated yet again. Though it’s a full 181 MB, the documented changes are minuscule, as they have been over the past few builds. I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m happy about the changes being made to Murder. The description below isn’t just ... More

Cataclysm Novel Scarring Your Eyes In August 2010
Posted by iTZKooPA on Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 - 13 Comments
Before you get your “ZOMG Cataclysm Is Coming Out In August” panties in a bunch, let’s be clear, the release date of the book makes no mention of the third expansion launching side-by-side with it. Technically the date isn’t even official, no matter how accurate Amazon has been in the past, Blizzard is Blizzard, even ... More

The Hodir Dailies Need More Sexual Innuendo
Posted by pixiestixy on Monday, October 19th, 2009 - 18 Comments
I had been putting off starting on the Hodir quests for several weeks in favor of working toward becoming an exalted champion with all my Horde factions, but soon realized that was a mistake. To up my raiding game, I really need those shoulder enchants that come with exalted status with the Sons of Hodir! ... More
