Stockpiling for Cataclysm
(Preview)
OK, so when Cataclysm launches, there's going to be a huge rush of new Goblins rolled. Is 5000 within the first couple weeks an overestimate? I doubt it. Anyway, all these new goblins are going to needs stuff. They're going to need bags, they're going to be leveling professions, and so on. What this mea...

Well kids, looks like I got hacked sometime this morning. I got a pair of strange emails at about 8:30 indicating my account had been suspended for three hours for trade chat spam or somesuch. Things really went amiss when I went to log into my email address this afternoon and found out the password has b...

Money-making in Cataclysm
(Preview)
I missed out on a lot of opportunity with 3.3.3. I knew there were a lot of things I could have invested in to flip when 3.3.3 when live, and I just didn't do it. So, to make sure I don't the Cataclysmic (har har) opportunity, I'm going to start putting my ideas in here so you can profit off of them if I forget to...

Many cool things coming in the next big expansion. Worgen and Goblins confirmed. More class choices per race confirmed. Changing old Azeroth confirmed. Etc. Etc. One of the things I'm MOST excited about is the stat simplification. Finally. "...half of WoW's stats are getting tossed out the w...

Mattie's hard work rewarded
(Preview)
Today Blizzard posted a preview of some of the Argent Tournament updates, and it looks pretty cool. There are going to be two new Tourney-related quest hubs in Icecrown: a Cult of the Damned camp overlooking the Tourney, and a Vrykul outpost on an island to the north. The Black Knight will also be retur...

3.2 is Live, with a trailer.
(Preview)
Most of my addons weren't updated, but I'll still use an automatic updater ... so you're on your own. If you've seen the trailer for the patch, you might notice that this patch has very little story when compared to some previous patches. The only clear thing it gets across is that we apparently like to f...

Rep grinds
(Preview)
I've only done serious rep grinding on two toons now. There's no way I could have more end-game toons. That's just too much. Sure would be nice if they applied their "you've done it once already, we'll speed it up for your next toon" mentalitity to rep grinding.

Really, Sam Raimi?

Sam Raimi has officially signed on to direct the Warcraft movie. Which raises my chances of seeing it by about 20%. So now my chance of seeing it is 20%, basically.

During the weekend, I got to see Adam, Mattie AND Jack in the game. Jack hasn't been in for a while, and I haven't even gotten to play much in the past month or so (since I started my new job, etc). It was nice virtually seeing my friends again. I'm hoping I'll be in the game more and more as I get even better adj...

Heirloom shoulders

I was thinkin' about buying some heirloom shoulders (+10% xp bonus) with my stone keepers shards. As I understand it, though they scale with level, they are still subject to armor type restrictions. (i.e. I can't buy the leather shoulders and give them to my mage alt and have them magically turn in...

29 Twinks
(Preview)
Ages ago (pre-BC), Jack and I chatted about making an all-orc twink group. At the time, we felt Orcs were one of the best choices for a single-race 5-man lvl 29 twink group (Trolls were probably a close second, but Orcs had slightly better racial benefits at the time and are smaller targets). Althoug...

(Preview)
I know I said I didn't like the idea of the Troll Death Knight .. but I'm really back-peddling now. But it's not because of lore – it's because Trolls are so cool and get no love. So I've decided to make a Troll Mage and Troll Warr. We'll see which one I stick with. Right now, I'm diggin the Warr because he...

More 3.1 love

Can I just say how happy I am that they're introducing the ability to queue for battlegrounds from anywhere in the world? I hope it ports you back to your last location when the BG is over. You could farm! Or do dailies!

Love is in the Air
(Preview)
So Malaphim is all dressed up for the world event, but I think he still gives off more of a "I'm just here for the donuts" vibe. And yes, I finally got my scythe. Sometimes I like to kill stuff with it, even though it drops my dps by about 300-600.

Zul'Drak has a daily called "Troll Patrol." It requires you to carry out 4 other dailies in the area. It's worth 350 rep with Argent Crusade. If you complete all the dailies in under 30 minutes, you get 350 bonus rep. Some of the 4 are random-ish, but one is ALWAYS "The Alchemist's A...
