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 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
Well, with Legion just around the corner and the movie all abuzz across the internets (Good and bad), I figured it was time to take a look back at the latest expansion of the World of Warcraft and share my thoughts on what it did right and what it did wrong. Garrisons: Garrisons were one… Read More Looking Back at Warlords of Draenor
Thus far in my MMO career I’ve primarily bounced back and forth between two games: World of Warcraft and Star Wars: The Old Republic. Oh sure, I’ve dabbled here or there in other games. Occassionally I still jump in and have a swim in the waters of Dungeons & Dragons Online (Less so now that… Read More Going Galactic
Well, it’s happened folks. The challenge was set forth and the World of Warcraft rose to meet it. We have a new Ironman. It’s been declared that LYSSAN of VEK’LINASH (US) is our World First Level 90 Immortal Ironman. A great big congratulations on the achievement! As it has been with past winners, your name… Read More New Level Cap, New Ironman
Well, back when we did the original Ironman Challenge, I gave a huge shout out to Ironmary for being the first person to make it to 85 and conquer the challenge. Well, since then we have got a new variation, which some have decided to call the ‘Hardcore Ironman’ or the ‘New Ironman Challenge’ or… Read More Hail to the Immortal Ironman
So I’m sure you can probably tell from either my twitter feed or even here on my blog that there’s been a definitive shift in attention to other things – Non-WoW things. Well, there is a reason for that. I’m not currently playing WoW. Oh yes, my subscription actually lapsed in late November, and I… Read More I’ve Got Me The Wanderlust!
Some people play WoW for the PvP, some do it for the raids, and others want to get the shiniest gear and then rub in the face of others (Don’t roll your eyes. You know they exist. We all do.) Me? Well, I play WoW for the Lore. The stories, the characters and the idea… Read More CDevs? CDevs Post? Post Devs Post!
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)
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
