If there was anything that I could honestly say that Cataclysm did that I loved, it was advance the storyline for the entire world. Well, the old world at least. There’s still some timey wimey whatever stuff going on in Outland and Northrend – but this isn’t about that. No, this post is about the… Read More Food for Thought: The Rebirth of the Sin’dorei
“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” – Joseph Campbell When I think of a hero, I think of Tirion Fordring. Really, that’s all I have to say. Because in the end, that is what sets him apart from every other element in the World of… Read More In Defense of Tirion Fordring (Part II)
In case you didn’t know, Loremaster is the end goal for every max level toon I’ve ever had. To date, I have three toons with the uber-nerd-tasti-fied title, and each time is more enjoyable than the last. Considering I did it the first time Pre-Cata before there were add ons to tell you what quests you’ve… Read More Telling the Tale: Reflecting on Wrath

Back before Wrath of the Lich King had even hit store shelves, Blizzard made a lot of talk about how it wanted to correct certain mistakes from The Burning Crusade. Blizzard, the ever evolving, was learning! This was something I’ve always admired in their dedication to the magnum opus of a MMO. Granted, not everyone… Read More Villainy 101 (with Arthas & Friends)
Location: Dalaran, Crystalsong Forest Faction: Neutral If there has ever been a point to envy the NPCs of Azeroth, it’s the fact they can have last names. Sylvannus Windrunner, Muradin Bronzebeard, Cairne Bloodhoof… even the random people in the inns can have last names. But the players? Nope. Never. Closest we get is Titles, and… Read More Whats In a Last Name?
Location: Shattrath City, Terrokar Forest Faction: Neutral (Yet unrepeatable) I was lucky enough to be passing by to catch this lovely video demonstrating a hilarious example of how to make the life of a zombie a bit more interesting. I don’t believe you can do this, it was hotpatched or something to that like. But… Read More Braaaaains…
