Elbow room

A few days ago I was talking about my plans for Cataclysm. Actually I have been doing that a lot lately. In this particular case I talked about both leveling my existing level 80′s to 85 and starting shiny new alts. Gnomageddon brought up an interesting point in the comments. He mentioned how crowded the new areas [...]

Looking forward to the end of the world

Thinking about the future is one thing, actively planning for the unknown is another. That has been taking up a good chunk of my time lately. Planning, plotting, and gathering has been on my list of things to do for a while now. Like a squirrel putting away nuts for the winter, or the ant [...]

Upon further consideration…

Yesterday I put up a rather long post about what I see as some of the reasons for the disparity in the amount of tanks and/or healers available in the game. The post did not draw a huge amount comments, but it did draw some pretty insightful ones. After reading those and doing a bit more thinking [...]

It’s about class, in more ways than one

Lately there have been a ton of posts about the differences between the three major roles (tanking, healing, and Dps). It all started with a guest post over at World of Matticus. As that slowly simmered in peoples heads I suddenly started to see my feed reader positively explode with posts on the subject. Over [...]

3.3, Thoughts from a tired mind

3.3 oh how I have coveted thee. So much promise, so many new toys to play with. Assuming of course I can actually get online. .  Some folks say life “critted” them. Some are right. In my case it was more a case of life stunlocking me so I couldn’t do any of the things [...]

Wow what a sale

Dear readers, I just noticed a little something interesting. Starting today (11/27/09) and going thru Sunday (11/29) the original World of Warcraft game will be on sale thru the Blizzard store as a digital download for a mere five dollars. Apparently hard copies will be similarly priced this weekend at retail stores also. My roving [...]

The great Retcon

When I first got the game and began leveling up I remember distinctly being told that the game began at 60. Raiding was where it was at, everything else was merely hurdles to overcome to get there. Obstacles placed in the way by the games designers so that only the worthy would persevere through it [...]

Why did I not see this before?

 A thought came to mind last night as a group of guildies and I were finishing up heroic ToC. We had two DK’s with us and were remarking on how much easier The Black Knight phase two was with two armies plus our two ghouls fighting the adds. We even wondered at the possibility of speccing five DK’s into tanking builds [...]

Chores

This morning I was doing some thinking… You can stop laughing any time, honest. As I was saying, I was doing a bit of thinking today about this wonderful game we all play. Be advised, this post is largely the ramblings of a tired and somewhat cranky individual. Feel free to mark as read and move [...]

I put my money where my keyboard was

There was a time in ages past when A blogger wrote a post about leveling Alchemy on the cheap. In response to the comments on that post he decided to put his money where his keyboard was and see just how much it would end up costing. Why are you looking at me like that? [...]
