Level 80! … Now What to Do First?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 - 35 Comments

It was a completely magical, fulfilling moment. It was months in the making (actually, considerably longer than I had anticipated, and I did end up losing that bet I posted about a while back, but refuse to pull out my hair!), which made it all ... More

Why Do We Even Bother With Weapon Skill?

Monday, August 3rd, 2009 - 14 Comments

Love it or hate it, Blizzard has been changing the leveling aspects of World of Warcraft with each additional expansion.  As the level cap continues to be raised, the developers feel that blasting players through levels is a reasonable solution.  Sure, the slow to level ... More

Playing with a Purpose

As I get closer and closer to level 80 (no, I’m still not there yet. But that’s another story…), I’ve been thinking a bit about my end goals for Locomomo. They started out vague, long ago when I rejoiced at finding a piece of gear ... More

Patch 3.2: Changes To UI To Make Questing Easier

Friday, June 26th, 2009 - 26 Comments

Going Solo: Bandaging on the Battlefield

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 - 13 Comments

Up until recently, most of my questing was done in pairs. My rogue teamed up with my husband’s warrior for a while as we leveled together. And when he out-leveled me, I started questing with his DK. Either way, I essentially had a tank as ... More

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

A collection of Blizzard’s community managers have been teasing the next expansion lately, according to WoWInsider, and it got me thinking about things I would like to see in number three.  Outside of the added content, The Burning Crusade’s biggest feature was the space goat ... More
