It seems like a chat channel called “Trade” would be used for trade. But, perhaps because so many tend to keep it open for actual trade and grouping requests - and it’s available in all cities - it seems to get used for people who just… well… need to have a conversation about something. Maybe [...]

So, here’s what. I’ve run Kara a few times, but for various reasons never managed to finish the whole dungeon. Someone had to leave, the leader was a schmuck, whatever.
But on Tuesday, I was with a group determined to finish. And at one point, one of them (Uziboy) said to me, “You’ve done everything you [...]

As I was browsing the iPhone App store, I was inspired and did a search for World of Warcraft. Turns out there are five applications out there that you can get for the iPhone and all of them center around getting game information when you’re out doing something less important than WoWing. They are:
1. Warcraft Characters. Check [...]

I realize that WoW creators aren’t terribly concerned with impossibility when developing this game. I mean, come on. As if something as boring as a paladin would be so invincible! But since I started playing, I’ve noticed a few things that simply make me giggle like a Japanese school girl. Here’s the short list.
1) Birds [...]

I’ve been exploring the WoW forums lately for various reasons. I see a lot of comments from people who seem to hate Barack Obama and root for McCain. I find this interesting. Could it be that the majority of WoW players are republicans? And what would be the explanation for such [...]

I witnessed a conversation that went something like this in Trade Chat:
“I’m so sick of all these fucking zombies! I wish Blizzard would just make them go away! It’s so annoying! I can’t even play the fucking game anymore!!! GOD!”
“Dude, chill. I think it’s fun.”
“Fun?!? It’s not fun! It’s a complete disruption. You can’t even [...]

There I was, accidentally on the World of Warcraft home page when I saw the headline, “Custom Guild Shirts Now Available“. The moment I saw the words, I was catapulted into that fugue state people get into that causes them to read celebrity tabloids and open the door late at night when the bell rings. You know it’s going to [...]

I’ve been in a few Eye of the Storm (EOTS) bgs on both my 70 Horde Mage (Sheepwithme, Shandris) and my 70 Alliance Druid (Emma, Shandris). And while Horde has been killing Alliance during the day in EOTS for the last two days, and the Alliance group I’m playing with right this second (I’m one [...]

The idea behind Arathi Basin is exceedingly simple. Keep and hold the majority of nodes or bases (three or more) most of the time. It never matters which three bases you hold, but if you lose one make sure you take another - and fast. It also never matters, directly, how many people Joe Schmoe [...]

1. PUGs Are Not Totalitarian Regimes
When you join a PUG (Pick Up Group), there is often one guy who states a battle strategy (sometimes it’s even a good one) and points people in the direction of where to go. Then, when his commands are not followed, he’ll pout or scream or yell or put on [...]
