Dear Blizzard:
I am thrilled beyond thrilled with the vast majority of things you added in patch 3.0.2. However, I think you missed the mark on a few things. I realize you can’t release everything at once so please forgive me if any of the things on my “Christmas list” are already slated for release.
1. Player/Guild [...]

Tenris Mirkblood: The Short Version

There’s a new boss in Kara, and he hits like a Brinks truck (see photo). Other sites will tell you in detail how to down Tenris in as complicated a manner as possible. I will tell you the easy way. It may not be the fast way, but it’s the easy way.

News Flash: Don’t Toss/Vendor Those Penny Pouches

Some of us have been scratching our head wondering what the heck those one-slot bags were for that were dropping in the Treat Bags we were getting from the innkeepers. I had a few theories. It turns out they were all wrong.
I have received reports (albeit unconfirmed) that you can combine sixteen of them together [...]
My Spin On The Zombie Nonsense

I have to admit to you, I haven’t been a very popular person in Westfall lately. While all the little pvp wannabees have been bringing the contagion en masse from Booty Bay to Westfall, I’ve left Nenianae parked there — my level 70 resto shaman.
I have had more profanities launched at me in the last [...]
Finding Your In-Game Voice. A Discussion Of Voice Chat Options
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged voicechat, ventrilo, teamspeak, skype on October 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
One of the most lauded changes in the last major patch (yes, before 3.0.2) was the addition of in-game voice chat. Lots of guilds felt that they were going to be able to give up their Ventrilo (or “Vent”) servers and use the in-game voice functionality exclusively. Others feared (incorrectly) that there were going to [...]
Much Ado About “Lag”
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged lag, patch 3.0.2 on October 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
As Bloodhoof lies on the floor convulsing and I wait for somebody to reboot it, let me take a moment to put on my network administrator hat and remind-slash-educate my gentle readers on a variety of conditions that a large number of World of Warcraft players refer to generically as “lag”.

The Answer To The Question I Was Dieing To Know The Answer To
Posted in Uncategorized on October 15, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Ok, so I found the answer to the question I was dieing to know the answer to, and I found it out in a very interesting way.
I logged in today and went browsing through Gweedo’s inventory (mostly for the sake of finding non-combat pets I could deport to the pet tab) and lo and behold [...]

Angels Are Singing. The Least Talked About Feature In 3.0.2.
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged auberdine, patch 3.0.2, stormwind harbor on October 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I guess it just stands to reason. I should have realized it… but I didn’t.
With the harbor in Stormwind, there will now not only be boats (eventually) to Northrend, but there is also a connecting boat from Stormwind to Auberdine.
Young spacegoats and strippers will no longer have to make the infamous death run through “Crocolisk [...]
Servers Getting Hammered. Yeah, We’re Surprised Too.
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged character selection screen, downtime, patch 3.0.2, patch day on October 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The servers are getting the living hell beaten out of them. All the folks who have had their ass parked in neutral in game complacency mode for the last three months are all trying to login at once. It’s like the Hogger vs. Illidan cage match and… well… it’s no surprise who is winning.
I decided [...]
