Can you Stand Outland?

Can you Stand Outland?

I’m sitting in this really strange place right now. My Paladin is my main hands down and I still have more fun on him than any other character, but I guess I finally broke and (100% as a result of Bigredkitty) and got my Hunter into Outland.
I’m sitting at about Lv. 66 and every time [...]

Existing Raid Content Changes with Patch 3.0.2

To coincide with the upcoming new talents and mechanic changes for classes in the next patch, we are making some adjustments in existing raid content to provide a smooth transition when the upcoming patch is released. The creatures and bosses in raid dungeons that were introduced in The Burning Crusade will have their health reduced, [...]

Arena Points not Resetting until Wrath of the Lich King Launch & News on Season 4 End Rewards

Arena Points not Resetting until Wrath of the Lich King Launch & News on Season 4 End Rewards

Eyonix posted earlier letting us know what the plan is for the Arena when patch 3.0.2 comes out. Basically the game is being dramatically changed when this patch goes live. Players are going to be thrown into complete chaos as they have to relearn their class. Obviously this isn’t fair for the last few weeks [...]

Back to Basics: Coming Back to WoW for Wrath of the Lich King

This post has actually been a long time in the making, When all the Beta news was popping I had to toss it on the backburner and after revisiting it last night I decided to rewrite the entire thing and make it much easier. This here should be a guide or quick refrence chart for [...]

Leveling to Speed up Between 60-70 in WotLK

There’s not much else to say, this is an awesome change that people were already anticipating and I (along with any other Death Knights) am really looking forward to.
Yes, we’re planning on speeding up leveling in the 60-70 range. Keep the feedback coming. We are still adjusting it. Let us know what levels you are [...]

Remember When: Factions!

Remember When: Factions!

Staring off with this screenshot. I like to see the Horde get it’s balls back. It’s time to raise your axe arm high and start kicking some ass.
This is a short gripe. Remember when there were only a few Neutral Factions that mattered? Remember when grinding rep had a purpose and there weren’t 50 million [...]

Scourge Invasion Event coming back?

Scourge Invasion Event coming back?

I still have my Tabard of the Argent Dawn on my Orc Shaman from when Naxxramas was first being released. There was a scourge invasion world event where all over the game in different zones these huge necropolis’ were hovering about and tons of scourge would spawn all over. Very good times.
Something similar happened when [...]

First of the Month: A Consortium Reputation Guide.

It’s the first of the month again and as usual if you’ve got some reputation with the Consortium you can swing by Aeriss’ Landing in Nagrand and pickup your bag of gems.
Honestly I post this regularly as a reminder since I forgot to get mine way too many times before, but this late in the [...]

Ask Spoon: Burning Crusade raids in WotLK.

I just got this email a few moments ago and the question couldn’t be better.

Artwork and new Badge gear.

People are getting all sandy over the art of the new Badge loot and even to a degree the new Sunwell Plateau drops. I honestly don’t see what all the crying is about. The gear doesn’t look bad, the badge gear itself too isn’t meant to be a replacement for T6 quality gear; it’s a [...]

Experience change discovery debunked.

Ok I reported earlier today in this post about the discovered changes to EXP that Boubouille found over at mmo-champions. I guess enough of us broguth it to the attention of the forums and Blizzard responded.
Possibly, we haven’t announced or even decided on anything final whatsoever, but it really doesn’t matter how much the [...]

Changes to experience in WOTLK?

Changes to experience in WOTLK?

This is obviously undocumented and not official in any way, just take this information at face value.
Mr. Badass himself, Boubouille, at mmo-champions they found this little change form patch 2.3 to 2.4 regarding experience needed to hit level 70 and some possible leads into how experience will work for the expansion: Wrath of the Lich [...]

Loregasm: The Sunwell Plateau

Loregasm: The Sunwell Plateau

This here (with my added comments) is the official Blizzard lore surrounding the new Sunwell Plateau area being released in Patch 2.4. The original deal can be read at their site which I reported yesterday, but I noticed there are some things that are kind of new and yet not unfamiliar in the explanation.

Is it too late to catch up?

Some players are pretty pissed at the new loot coming into the game with Patch 2.4, and so Drysc tries to bring some blue sense into the fray. The basic argument is gaps. If the burning crusade was a 200 page book, we’re at about page 175. There is very little time left before [...]
