It’s easy to become insulated when you write for a subject-specific site like Project Lore, surrounded by like-minded colleagues and readers whose clear interest in the topics at hand is evidenced through repeated page views and lengthy comment sections. But I have, and still do, ... More

A Closer Look At World of Warcraft’s Beginning Lore

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 - 16 Comments

Lilyterrain’s final adventures in Azeroth went out with a whimper, or perhaps a fart.  Barely hours into her career as a hunter, sans pet taming abilities, and the character was left for dead, never to be seen again.  I chalked up the loss of a ... More

Bringing Up Magey

I was recently told by our readers (several times, and with gusto), that if I’m so damn tired of raid content, why don’t I go try out one of the other multitude of things to do in WoW? Well, I’ll have you know that leveling ... More

Way back when I started here at ProjectLore.com I was all giddy over a new engineering pattern that showed up on the Wrath of the Lich King Beta. The Mechano-hog (Horde) or Mekineer’s Chopper (Alliance) infatuated me with its ridiculous clunkiness , gnomish features ... More

Ding! LF4m Heroics!

Well it has come down to this, the final level. I am fairly certain that I am going to be the last player at ProjectLore to hit level 80, but in all fairness, they play the game for a job. I write about ... More

I first recall hearing about the Faceless Ones – in World of Warcraft - around the time of Ahn’Qiraj and its faction’s leader, C’Thun. While I can not recall why they came up in this context exactly, I assume it was because of ... More

If you look at him hard enough, he will die. If you do a quick Google search of Escort Quests and filter through all the links to guides, the next group of articles you are sure to find is people complaining. Gamers have been QQing ... More

Questing: Zul’Drak For The Win

Monday, December 22nd, 2008 - 13 Comments

What, no meal with this flight? Before Wrath hit, I admitted that I was awaiting its release far more than its predecessor, The Burning Crusade. Blizzard Entertainment planned to do things with The Burning Crusade that I just did not agree with. And if ... More
