Player Status Messages?

I just came across a situation earlier where I had to log in a bit earlier than I usually do just to tell the guild I was going to be a bit late for the scheduled raid. Given the current disappointments due to some no shows for raids, I wanted to at least tell them […]

Wrong Grammar In Totems Bugs Me!

I decided to try out playing a shaman after seeing some of the nice talents coming for the expansion, especially for the elemental tree. I figured that since I have so many horde characters in the server I play in, it’s a nice opportunity to try out the Alliance once again (I’ve had some failed […]

Warlock Metamorphosis Video

Ever since Blizzard announced that Warlocks will be able to turn themselves into a demon, I’ve always wondered how that would work out and what it would look like. This video gives a nice idea of both. In my opinion, the demon form looks pretty imposing but still I feel like it could use a […]

The Wrath Of The Lich King Login Screen

I just realized that since the beta version of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion is being tested right now, the new login screen must be out. Well I figured right since it’s all over Youtube. It’s a nice change to move away from the Dark Portal concept that the game has used for […]

Downranking is going down the drain

Downranking is a technique used by players to gain some mana efficiency by using lower ranks of spells. Currently this is effective since spells have fixed mana costs and each rank gets more expensive as it goes up. This way it makes sense to use something that costs less when you don’t need the effect […]

Professions: Looking Back To Inspire The New

The latest information about the professions for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion reminds me of the saying “we need to know where we’ve been to know where we’re going”. This is usually used as an explanation about why we need to study history but it’s true even for video games. We’ve seen Blizzard […]

Some interesting and odd additions to Tailoring for WoTLK

Tailoring has been a very good profession for clothies ever since the game came out and even much more so in the Burning Crusade expansion. The Spellfire, Frozen Shadoweave and Primal Mooncloth specializations have given tailor warlocks, mages and priests a very good set that can start them off into the world of raiding and […]

Why is the Arena Tournament not involved in Spirit of Competition?

First of all, I’d like to say that the Spirit of Competition event that will happen every two years is a great idea. Not only does it get players in the mood and the spirit of international competition but it’s also a cute way to get cool rewards. I do have one question though.
