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 [...]

A long, long time ago, I can still remember when I got that quest to get those vials, And I knew if I had my chance, I’d get to watch a warrior stance dance and maybe I’d do some DPS for awhile. But guild drama made me shiver, with every chat that was delivered. Bad news at the bank steps - no more group [...]

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 [...]

My new Mutilate build has definitely gotten me back into my Rogue.  I took quite a break from him due to my little excursion with finally leveling a healing alt, but have since returned to him with reckless abandon.  Mostly, the new build has me excited due to its different play style, as opposed to [...]

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 accomplished two different tasks at the same time this weekend. First and foremost, I put my new Mutilate build to the test in an actual raid setting. That is assuming one believes Karazhan, post Patch 3.0.2 nerf, can be called a raid.   I enjoyed the new build, and it performed nicely, [...]

There was another topic I almost addressed in yesterday’s post on World of Warcraft and other games (they do exist!). I chose not to discuss it because it is a wholly other topic, deserving of its own post. Also, it would have derailed the main point of the post, seeing what you guys [...]
