  • What if Light was One of Us: Cathedral Square

    “What’s so special about the cheese makers?” “Well, obviously it’s not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.” – Overheard in the Stormwind Cathedral We’ve reached the half way mark of the Stormwind Tour!  We’re taking a stop off in the Cathedral Square to rest our feet.  As someone…

  • A Wizard Did It: Stormwind Mage Quarter

    “I meant to do that.” – Random Mage Flying Through a Window Perhaps taking a break in the serenity of nature will keep my mind off of the immense greed and corruption of the Trade District.  So a quick jaunt over to the Mage Quarter is in order.  The architecture is very different in this…

  • Greed is Good: Stormwind Trade District

    “This iz where I make the big bucks, yo.  Fools be wishin they gotz what it takes to go toe ta toe with me in the auction hizouse.” – Stevesbank, a Trade District local A long while back, I had made the proclamation that my favorite city to spend time in was Silvermoon.  After all,…

  • Who woulda thought it figures?

    So Anea (of Oh Look, An Alt!) came up with this delightful idea of putting screenshots and music lyrics together for various effects.  Soon as I saw it, I knew the shot to whip out of my dusty and never ending pile of screenshots: It’s a nerf two patches too late. It’s ten thousand hunters…

  • Warcraft on Consoles?

Where the small would not be constrained by the great big. I chose the impossible…  I chose Gnomeregan.” – Andrew Fryspin, First High Tinkerer of Gnomeregan

  • Dear Blizz: Attunements

    Dear Blizzard Entertainment, I recently saw that you plan to include attunements in the upcoming Cataclysm expansion.  What an amazing decision!  I know nothing is quite set in stone yet for Cataclysm, after all you’ve just started with all the testing and such, and I know you haven’t even said how you will use attunements…

  • Bee-ware or Bee Prepared!

    Location: Warsong Hold, Borean Tundra – Vengeance Landing, Howling Fjord – Grol’dom Farm, the Barrens This oddity comes in via email from Umjin who simply asks “What’s the deal with the bees?” Included were several pictures of what you see here, drawings of bees on the sandbags of the Horde airships that transport people to…

  • Where in Azeroth is Outland Sandiego?

    Location: The Black Temple, Shadowmoon Valley Have you ever wondered about the astronomy of the Warcraft universe?  We know a lot more now than we did back when Vanilla WoW first came out.  From Ulduar, we have seen a full rotating globe of Azeroth, and we know exactly where Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms lie,…

  • Would You Like Some Lore With That Pony?

    Would it be an over-simplification to say there’s been a lot of talk about this whole sparkly pony situation?  The responses to its release have been pretty widespread from screaming logical hiccups to squealing delightful joy. However, there hasn’t been a lot of talk about where the heck this thing comes from.  Yes, yes, I…
