Thursday, November 19th, 2009 - 15 Comments

Forget about other video games, I find it difficult enough to split my play time across multiple characters.  Despite my best efforts, that is exactly what I have been doing lately.  Over the past month I have put serious time in to not two, but ... More

Old School: Dungeon Quest Design

Friday, November 6th, 2009 - 7 Comments

I have been spending a substantial amount of time leveling a new toon since BlizzCon 2009’s Cataclysm announcements.  Like many players, I want to experience the aspects of vanilla WoW before they disappear into the digital abyss (maybe then Blizzard will setup a vanilla server ... More

PTR 3.3: Build 10623 Gets Rid Of (Some) Reputation Farming

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 - 22 Comments

I’ll admit that farming reputation on your alts just for some added enchants - head and shoulders (knees and toes) - can be rather annoying, but it makes sense.  After all, the various factions, Ebon Blade, Hodir, Oracles, etc, don’t have any idea that Solidsagart ... More

Saturday, October 11th, 2008 - 11 Comments

I have been on a bit of a financial kick lately. Although all the advisors out there say someone my age (less than 35) shouldn’t worry too much about their portfolio, it is hard to break a daily routine. This daily routine actually ... More

Picking Your Alt

Thursday, October 9th, 2008 - 54 Comments

In light of all the downtime, alts have been a pretty hot topic lately. Just about everyone I play with is working on one, and now a few people I know are even thinking about switching mains. I know I’ve been working my alts pretty ... More

How Are You Spending the Downtime?

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 - 43 Comments

It seems like the entire world (of Warcraft) has gone into a bit of a holding pattern lately. Many people (myself included) have stopped raiding, we just heard about the arena points reset, so there is not a whole left for anyone to do other ... More
