First and foremost, Final Fantasy XIV players – Do Not Panic. I haven’t abandoned my love of Eorzea, nor have I decided to stop working on the much delayed FFXIV: Endwalker Story Summary, but as the Endwalker expansion slows down and leaves a gap until Dawntrail breaks next summer, and the announcement of Chris Metzen’s glorious… Read More Returning to Azeroth
A little while ago on Twitter I saw someone ask the question, “After the Burning of Teldrassil, how could anyone follow Sylvanas?” The idea being that since Warchief Windrunner eagerly committed genocide on twenty-three-thousand Night Elves – men, women and children – how could anyone continue to follow a person like that? It’s a question… Read More The Problem of Faction Pride
World of Warcraft’s newest expansion does a lot to remedy the “there’s nothing to do” problem. Which is great! Always having something to do is a great way to play a game.

So the internet has been a-BUZZ with the news of datamining the alpha build of the next World of Warcraft, Battle For Azeroth.

Long ago, in the distant past of 2008 – almost ten years now – I started blogging. I did not however start with this blog. The Land of Odd wasn’t even a twinkle in my eye back then. When I first began, I had another blog titled “The World of OddCraft” or simply “OddCraft”. It… Read More Welcome the OddCraft Archive!
So the big thing yesterday was the release of the first LFR wing for the Emerald Nightmare in World of Warcraft: Legion and the immediate revelation that the quest items for the Balance of Power questline were not dropping from it. This was soon confirmed by Blizzard that these items were not intended to drop… Read More LFR vs Normals: How Easy is Too Easy?
So with Legion, Blizzard decided to remove the Legendary Ring storyline from the game. Since this storyline does a lot to set up the explanation behind the Legion expansion, as well as go into many of the motivations for staying around on Draenor after the destruction of the Dark Portal, I felt that it was… Read More World of Wacraft: Warlords of Draenor – Legendary Ring Story Summary
If you’ve ever rolled a Goblin in the World of Warcraft and played through their starting area where Deathwing descends to erupt Mount Kezan after getting hit with a football (Or at least that is my interpretation of events) you’ll get a cutscene after boarding the ship to get the heck off the island where… Read More Leave No Witnesses: The Lost Isles SI:7 Mystery
