It’s a bit quieter in the blogosphere today, but there’s still some interesting thinking going on. Ironyca’s recent article about solo play gets an interesting response, and there’s a new indie MMO site out there aiming to compete in the big leagues! Gtfootf is worried by WoW players who assume that everything that looks like WoW must basically be WoW – “The “WOW effect” is some thing akin to, “If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck.” Meaning if it feels like WOW and contains some of the same in-game elements as WOW it must be played like WOW . Unfortunately for us Blizzard has trivialized parts of the de-facto MMO game standard ( WOW ) and what we now consider normal really isn’t that normal after all.” Syl at Raging Monkeys offers some additional thoughts on being able to be alone or anonymous in your MMO – “Being able to withdraw from social circles isn’t only important because of free will and quality interaction though; there is a beneficial and invigorating aspect in taking time off – which is why it is such a shame that it should be such a difficult thing to admit and ask for.” And there’s a new database site out there!

Welcome to my comprehensive holy priest guide for patch 4.3.

What matters more than anything else is being able to admit that something is not working for you. If you are doing something that is a bit outside the box and you are genuinely seeing results with it – meaning that your mana bar is not always running on empty, you are keeping up the people you are assigned to heal, etc. then by all means keep doing what you are doing…

Every week, WoW Insider brings you The Light and How to Swing It for holy , protection and retribution paladins. Protection specialist Matt Walsh spends most of his time receiving concussions for the benefit of 24 other people, obsessing over his hair (a blood elf racial!), and maintaining the tankadin-focused blog Righteous Defense . I still remember how great the news was when, in the run-up to Wrath of the Lich King , we were told that some of our Blessing spells were going to be converted to a whole new tier of temporary buffs that could be used situationally. …
