  • World of Warcraft: Was Wrath of the Lich King the Best Expansion?

    I know a lot of people ended up panning Wrath of the Lich King, with old timers calling people starting in that era “Wrath Babies”. People criticized the instances as being too easy, ICC as allowing casuals to participate, allowing people to purchase gear using badges and even some of the dumbed down quest design.…

  • World of Warcraft: (Observed) Characteristics of Players

    Originally, I was going to center this post around PVP players. However, the more I thought about the topic, the more I realized that there was no way to write about just PVP players without going into tangents on other players in the World of Warcraft.  So I decided to revise the topic to players…

  • Diablo 3: The MMO that Was Supposed to Be

    A little while back, there was some controversy between Blizzard North’s founder David Brevik and one of the lead designers in Diablo 3, Jay Wilson, over Jay Wilson’s rather unprofessional comments on Facebook towards Brevik’s views on how Diablo 3 turned out. Further investigation about the matter has shown me that Diablo 3 was essentially…

  • World of Warcraft Patch 5.0.4 Out Today and What to Do

    Today is the day for the first major patch in the World of Warcraft since patch 4.3. After several months of no content, this one signifies a great deal of changes, the most important being the talent changes. Having been checking my toons since this morning, I noticed some odd issues such as the change…

  • World of Warcraft: What I Accomplished in Cataclysm

    Today I pushed my priest to 85 and geared her to tackle HoT Heroics. I already completed part one of LFR and am waiting on part two as I write this. At this point, I have 10 85s of all classes. I will make an attempt to finish part two of LFR tonight, thus giving…

  • Shadow Priest Now is Level 82

    I pushed right through Northrend this past week in trying to hit 85 before the expansion comes out. At the moment, I managed to hit level 82 on my Shadow Priest and am about to start the Deepholme quest chain. Once I hit level 85, it will mark my 10th level 85, giving me the…

  • World of Warcraft Mist of Pandaria Release Date Announced and Preparation Suggestions

    The magic date is September 25, 2012. Right now, the PTR is getting ready for what seems to be a major pre-release just before the expansion comes out with a major event to set into motion the next expansion. I believe the first of the raids as well as pet battles have been implemented and…

  • World of Warcraft: Druid Now Has the 4 Piece Set

    I got lucky with two rolls tonight on my druid. One, which really isn’t as pertinent, is the Wrath of Unchaining trinket. Someday, I might attempt to gear as feral. Ironically, her feral gear actually is quite good and may make her a contender as a future bear tank. After completing LFR part 2 with…

  • Why Mike Preach is Wrong About Blizzard’s Direction

    Mike Preach has a video on youtube explaining his thoughts on why Blizzard’s direction for World of Warcraft is wrong. Part of his belief is that the game is becoming too easy and that by making content harder, it’ll improve the overall player base and attract better players. Let me preface this article by saying…

  • World of Warcraft: Add My Rogue to the List

    On Sunday, my rogue hit level 85. Unfortunately, because it was kinda late, I did not have a chance to run through the entire HoT Heroics to build up enough Valor Points to get her throwing weapon nor procure enough gear to hit LFR. However, the good thing was that the reset occurred today so…
