Big thanks to Druissa from Elune. She found theNPC associated with the collar I found earlier today. It’s probably old news but this is the first I’ve heard of it and have yet to see it in other World of Warcraft publications.
Meet Poley.

Hi all.
As the first day of May is a Labor Day holiday in France and working on this specific day is subject to stringent legal restrictions, Blizzard Europe will be providing limited support on Thursday, May 1st. All the realms will be available for play as usual, however our Technical and Billing Support teams [...]

I would have to say that to some degree this is true. People think of let’s say a hunter, they think ok dwarf or nightelf. But there really isn’t any specific tie in with classes and their race in a limiting kind of way. Sure there are restrictions in the gameplay and frankly in common [...]

CALL THE NATIONAL GUARD!
Nah not really it’s just some quick server maintenance. The little pygmi gnomes that run the servers might have gotten into a fight so Drysc let us know that the problems are being fixed. Stay tuned.
The following realms are being brought down immediately for urgent maintenance to address issues relating to [...]

I didn’t even know people used the built in voice chat. The quality of it is staggeringly bad and it’s way too much like listening to the moronic children on XBOX Live prattle on about this and that in any BG I dare enter. I think the voice chat feature was active for all of [...]

Hmmm it’s not a penguine (sadly) but I stumbled across this little treasure browsing WOWDB. Why on earth would there be game files for a Polar Bear pet!? The plot thickens…

As always NOTHING above is final, I found something interesting, I am sharing it. I am in no way claiming anything is legit and final [...]

We still don’t know the nitty gritty details but one thing that seems pretty much legit would be that your account must have one high level character in order to make a Death Knight. This makes sense in many ways as the Death Knight isn’t supposed to exactly be super powerful, just something special that [...]

But you know, nothing is final. There was a Blizzcon last year in 07′ and for what it’s worth that was a very big deal as we all got some really nice peeks into the coming expansion as well as tons of other changes and the glorious Starcraft 2. Sadly the tickets were sold out [...]

Just a quickie update for those that may have missed it.
Void Shatter (skill: 360) requiring Runed Eterium Rod (Skill: 375) is a bug that is being fixed in patch 2.4.2.  (src)

Looking at the new weapons available for heroic badges and you wonder where are the swords, the maces, the bows? Looking at the weapons available you can see that they aren’t really designed to fill out every spot and with good reason. What I don’t like (although an intelligent answer) is Blizzard’s response to the [...]

There are tons of leaked items on the PTR files that WOWDB has managed to snag. There have been mishaps left and right of GMs giving out season 4 gear instead of Season 1 to players around the world. So when exactly will we be seeing the 4th and final Arena season for the Burning [...]

It’s a novel idea, I like it a lot actually but it isn’t something we already have with the Arena System. Group duels (such as you’re in a party and you can right click the leader of another party to have a group duel) are doable as well in the world arenas. When you’re grouped [...]

Hey everybody, it’s a new day and here’s something that should be part of a well balanced breakfast. Oblith pumps out yet another hilarious video. This one claims to be a sophisticated love story enriched with deep Japanese culture and beauty. Actually it’s Oblith speaking random Japanese words or products which made me damn near [...]

It’s been how long since the initial announcement of the new expansion? Just wondering when Blizzard plans to reveal any details of substance to us after all this time. Infrequent screenshots and mob updates can only sustain you for so long.
That was the question posed on the general forums and as well all over [...]

This comes directly from mmo-champions, it seems like a minor change but hopefully we’ll see more in the way of these effects when Patch 2.4.2 goes live. These two daggers had their red glow removed from the game which I think is good, that way specific enchants can be seen. Currently the badge vendor healing [...]

Go get em tiger! M’uru is now open and available. All guilds who managed to defeat the Eredar Twins will be able to access the next to last boss of Sunwell Plateau known as M’uru. This boss had very little testing on PTR and no guilds managed to bring him down (not even close to [...]

Here are a few highlights on the PTRs today.
We would like to request some focused testing on a bug that we believe to be fixed in 2.4.2
Using a macro with several instant cast spells can break targeting and the Escape key.
This is most often reported as happening with hunter kill command macros.
Please test your [...]

The horse has not only been dead for a while, but the beatings have been so sever we had to kill another one so most hunters could finish getting their cracks at it. Incoming Hortus!
There was not a change to the way Growl scales with hunter AP, the bug fix eliminated growl scaling with [...]

There are few things in this world I take as much pure unadulterated pleasure in as I do watching Baron Soosdon’s films. The fact that our taste in music is so close but the themes used and the overall feel to all of his work is hands down amazing. Enjoy for yourselves, drop him a [...]

The DonLolo z Wladem Team on the EU-Burning Legion server (Bloodlust Battlegroup) reached 3000 Arena Team rating in the 2v2 bracket. It’s a team made up of a Holy Paladin and a Subtlety Rogue. Noksil, a human paladin, is the first player to reach 3000 Personal Rating. It kind of strikes me as odd though [...]

It’s Tuesday. We all know what this means. Here’s a brief list of things you can do to pass the time for all my fellow East Coast players that will find themselves able to login sometime around 1:00 in the afternoon. The ones in bold are what I’m doing!

Browse this website for all the videos [...]

I brought this up a while ago, that if you defeat the Eredar Twins boss encounter in the Sunwell Plateau using a reverse kill order, then you’re rewarded with more loot. This is a good thing. Obviously the fight becomes more difficult but the payoff of more Sunmotes and some more epics sweetens the deal. [...]

Well it’s a story that won’t die folks. That’s a good thing too because if not then we wouldn’t get to see the pretty now would we?
In response to all the hype about the Season 4 gear sported by a certain druid, more screenshots and information has been released. I’d like to thank Teza one [...]

This is actually one of the Holiday events in game that I really enjoy. For just a little bit of time invested in exploring the game world (which can sometimes reignite good times in game) you can get yourself a pretty unique little pet. For some these little touches are a slap in the face [...]

I thought the NPCs were supposed to go straight for the healer anyway, am I doing this wrong? The ending itself is meant more for fans of the comic since it’s a throwback to the way DLC used to look in it’s early days.

The author of the video claims that it’s a bug. Yes and no. Essentially this is not a bug but a result of a bad internet connection. If your connection times out but doesn’t completely log you out of the game (something like a lag spike then everything suddenly speeds up to get back to [...]

Putting the mom jokes aside for a few minutes, what exactly is the best mount? I only bring this up because I got into the discussion yesterday with one of my readers. There is a lot of news as of late with mounts. First it was the new PVP mounts, the Black War Elekk and [...]

Proudmoore (US) is just tearing up the progression with the Sunwell Offensive. According to Gorgonnash.info they were the first server to break into Phase 3 and unlock the heroic badge loot vendor. They just completed Phase 4 of the Shattered Sun Offensive, and it triggered the availability of epic gems on Shaani the [...]

I’ve been following this comic for a while now since I first saw their site when they only had 10 comics up. Teh Gladiators are rounding their 19th comic so far and the story/art is actually pretty good. I like to read into the funny a bit and kind of point out that at least [...]

This is about the ONLY time I wish I had kept my Blacksmithing and my Dragonstrike instead of taking up Leatherworking for bang beat drums and sexy armor kits.

All BOP Weapons have been changed and aren’t unique anymore! That’s a nice change alone, but if you took the time to read the 2.4.2 Patch Notes [...]
