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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Yesterday’s national election results are pretty decisive, showing that the United States clearly chose Barack Obama to be the next President. A couple of days ago, we saw the Machinima.com video showing a brief poll in Azeroth, and we decided to let the Project Lore viewers have their voices be heard. The results from our [...]

Homogenization:  the act of making something homogeneous, or the same throughout; or the tendency of something to be come homogeneous (Wiktionary) A vocal group of players have been pretty miffed about the homogenization of World of Warcraft’s classes.  While a collection have been barking about the issue for some time, the group grew substantially after changes [...]

I was around during the initial Scourge Invasion.  In fact, I was still playing WoW hours upon hours a day, many of them spent in raids, instances or just farming for gold.  Yet, I never really joined in on the fun of the Scourge Invasion.  I checked it out, but you wouldn’t find me there [...]

Oh, god do I understand the pain to be a healer finally. Previously, I have leveled my Rogue, a Mage and a Hunter. Never have I truly focused on a healing class, or even a tank (that is my next project). That was until recently. Since I hit 60+ and have [...]

Oh, Hallow’s End, how you have drawn me into the game once more. I mentioned in my Hallow’s End Achievements post that it is my favorite seasonal event in Azeroth, and real life. The new Achievements, items and especially the candy, that Hallow’s End offers has drawn me back to the game ahead [...]
