Location: Stonewrought Dam, Loch Modan/Wetlands Faction: Alliance I have to wonder some days exactly what is going through the minds of some races. At what point did a group of dwarves layout the structure for this dam and go “You know what? I think this needs some more spitting.” Especially when you realize this is… Read More Maybe In Dwarven It Means ‘Hello’?
Last post I discussed some of the reasons I felt there were to actually be proud to play an Alliance character. They stood against those who would see them dead, they sacrificed their lives in an unknown world for safety back home, and they managed to get Gilneas, Dalaran and Alterac to play nice (a… Read More The ‘Pride’ of the Alliance (Part 2)
Kiddo over at Journal of a WoW Kiddie posted an interesting thought about the lack of pride amongst the Alliance forces. It got me thinking about the topic too. Kiddo raises a lot of good points on the matter, namely the surge of spite at a number of King Wrynn’s recent actions as well as… Read More The “Pride” of the Alliance? (Part I)
Location: Scholomance, Western Plaguelands Faction: Neutral Back when I lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico (Never again. NEVER. AGAIN.), there was a school there called School for the Deaf. One day, when I was driving around with my family, my sister saw the sign but the “F” in deaf was blocked by a tree. So… Read More And I Thought Ring Around the Rosie Was Creepy
(From the Blog Azeroth Shared Topic Forums) There’s something to be said for how many things I routinely find in Warcraft that just leave me sitting there with my jaw agape and eyes wide, enough so that I decided to start an entire blog based on the stuff I find. I rarely traverse the world… Read More World of That's &%$#ing Awesome!
Location: The Western Sanctum, Eversong Woods Faction: Horde I know, the title sounds like a fortune cookie. But this is a bit of a zen riddle already. That or some wacky practical joke courtesy of Blizzard. If you travel to the Western Sanctum and go around behind it where the little mountain is, then look… Read More Wealth is Not Easy to Obtain
Location: Halls of Lightning, Storm Peaks Faction: Neutral There is a lot of weird stuff in the Storm Peaks, but this one I stumbled on when running Halls of Lightning and while waiting for a new tank via LFG (the first tank bailed after downing the first boss. We presumed he only needed one Emblem… Read More The Golden Army Must Not Be Awakened!
Location: Gundrak, Zul’Drak Faction: Neutral This is one I’ve wanted to talk about for a long time. Since I first saw it. It captivated me in a way that no one in my group at the time understood. Namely because much like a movie teaser or a hinted at plot point in a tv show,… Read More Snakes… Why did it have to (Giant) Snakes…
Location: Valley of Spears, Desolace Faction: Neutral More specifically the Centaur KAAAHHHNNNS! While wandering around trying to finish up my Lunar Festival achievements (If you are wondering – No, I did not succeed. One Omen kill and most of the Northrend Elders got missed by the deadline), I had to make my way back into… Read More KAAAAAAAHHHHNNNN!!!!
I thought it would be fun to share my own personal experiences with the nuts and bolts of the game. Namely, the nature of death in this fantasy realm. It’s always been a strange mix of not wanting to offend, not wanting to punish fairly but not harshly and hoping that people just go with… Read More Ask Not For Whom the Bell Tolls: Death in Warcraft
