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 [...]

New Poll: Where will you start in Northrend?

New Poll: Where will you start in Northrend?

Something Blizzard has said about Northrend is that they plan on making the new continent have two points of entry instead of one single bottleneck like Hellfire did in the Burning Crusade.
Basically us players will have the option to first enter Northrend and begin leveling in either the Borean Tundra or the Howling Fjord. Both [...]

Gear Jump in WotLK as bad as Burning Crusade?

Gear Jump in WotLK as bad as Burning Crusade?

I spoke about this a while back but as new comments have come to light, so must a little update and reminder. People are worried about their level of gear going into the expansion pack. Before BC came out nobody really knew what to expect so there was a relatively large outrage when people started [...]

Remember When? Leveling

Remember When? Leveling

Welcome to the first installment of Remember When? where me and my compatriots will openly share our constant bitching about the little things in WoW that everybody gripes about sometime. In today’s adaptation (I say adaptation because it’s me copying guild chat from screenshots) I explore in very colorful language the subject of leveling.
The idea [...]

Leveling Death Knights: Breaking into the 60's.

Leveling Death Knights: Breaking into the 60’s.

I think that one of the biggest fears players have with the whole Death Knight thing is that a bunch of scrubs who don’t know how to play will basically get a free ride to Lv. 55 and then get to the end game and not know a damn thing.
Stupid.
I know TONS of people in [...]

Leveling & WOTLK! Will Classic Azeroth be less painful?

Myself, my wife, and a few friends rerolled on a Horde server a few weeks back. Most of us had a Horde character above level 30 me being the only 70 but it’s been nice to take a more relaxed approach and be back amongst mah peoples. Watching them all level through some of the [...]

News update on Death Knights.

News update on Death Knights.

Bornakk just posted some snippets of information (be they vague) about Blizzard’s plan for Death Knights when Wrath of the Lich King comes out.
We haven’t completely finalized a number, but we plan to have them start at a level lower than 70. We didn’t have Draenei or Blood Elves start at a higher level [...]

One fish, Two fish, I'll never get to 375 fishing!

One fish, Two fish, I’ll never get to 375 fishing!

I managed to get my shaman’s cooking up to 375 by means of mass bear and lobster genocide as well as talbuk and clefthoof slaughtering. I also somehow got some crawfish in there too. Needless to say it didn’t take me nearly as long as I thought. With the new recipes added in Patch 2.4 [...]

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 [...]

Ask the Spoon: Why can't I tank?

Ask the Spoon: Why can’t I tank?

Dear Spooner,
I played a warrior since beta, I’ve been main tanking for a very very long time. I stopped playing the game around the time the expansion came out and I just now got into it. I know about all the different class changes but what the hell happened? I can’t get a group at [...]
