Welcome to Lichborne , WoW.com’s weekly death knight column. Daniel Whitcomb sort of wanted to call this week’s column “Neener neener, I can stand in the fire and you can’t,” but the editors weren’t too enthused with it.

Welcome to Lichborne , the weekly death knight column. This week, your host is in a bit of a tanking mood. Those Emblems of Frost don’t earn themselves! So when the Dungeon Finder came out, it was pretty cool even for DPS.

Welcome to Lichborne , the Death Knight column. This week, Daniel Whitcomb is really regretting turning on his boombox in Acherus at the new year’s party. By now, I assume a good portion of you have managed to get on your daily heroics at least a couple times a week, maybe even have an ICC raid or three under your belt.

Every week, Shifting Perspectives explores issues affecting druids and those who group with them. This week, everyone discovers (as I have been saying for years, but who listens to the bear tank with an ass the size of Cincinnati? No one, that’s who) that PUG’s are not so bad

Welcome to Lichborne , WoW.com’s weekly Death Knight column, where your host, Daniel Whitcomb , continues to be caught in a bad romance with Unholy DPS.

While it may or may not hint to the release date of the next expansion, a listing on Amazon has pegged the release of a hardcover novel by award-winning author Christie Golden entitled World of Warcraft : The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm . While that might seem like one colon too many (insert snickering here), the self-explanatory title actually sounds pretty cool

Happy Tuesday to our European readers! We’re nearly halfway through August, BlizzCon is just 10 days away and we already know what races we’ll be playing in the next expansion. The sun is shining and the internet is thrumming with promise of something Cataclysm ic approaching. It can’t get any better than that! I’m already thinking of names for my alts

Greetings European WoW players! It’s that time of the week once more (where time has flown I have no idea). Tomorrow morning sees all the EU servers coming down to the regular bout of maintenance

“Cower in fear, puny mortals! Maintenance time is upon you!” Maintenance time ho! Yes Europe, it’s nearly the middle of the week again. I’m honestly not sure how that happened but one more unto the breach. Unfortunately the downtime is a little longer than normal this week, hence poor Serisa quaking in fear in the picture above.

The Eastern Kingdoms were flamed and we had fun doing it. Our It came from the Blog event last Saturday was actually two events: an all levels event followed by a mounted/flightpathed event.

The heat is on here in the UK and we’ve actually got a summer.

Welcome to Wednesday in Europe. While the Americans are still sleeping and dreaming of that next boss kill, it’s a brand new day and, with it, a bunch of rolling restarts to boot

Danny Whit is usually the one sitting here writing this thing up for your maintenance day entertainment, but he’s out of the office today. Where is he?

For a while now I’ve been mulling over points raised by Daniel in his much-discussed article, ” Why Varian Wrynn Is Right, ” and we’ve received a number of requests to address the issue from the Horde’s point of view. Well…this article isn’t going to do that. It started off that way, and then I realized that Varian’s personal issues and the Horde’s approach to the problem are really two entirely separate matters

Good morning Europe. May is almost over and summer seems to be officially here — at least in the UK. This week we have something different

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Odds and ends There is a slight, very slight , chance that the WoW Insider crew is made up of a bunch of geeks. And while we’re supposed to stay focused on the World of Warcraft , sometimes our geekiness draws us out of our virtual shell and into movie theaters or comic stores or other, more frightening non-virtual environments.

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Odds and ends Ah, it’s the weekend again. We find ourselves in a unique position this week as Friday sees the close of one yearly event and the beginning of another thanks to Blizzard pushing Noblegarden back a bit. This weekend, Azeroth is going to be overrun by pesky little kids asking to be taken around town, begging for junk food, and even endangering themselves as their respective guardians show them the war part of Warcraft

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Odds and ends Though not everyone ‘fessed up to it in this week’s WRUP , I’m pretty sure there’s a simple, one-word description for what we’ll all be doing this weekend: Noblegarden . Ulduar’s been out for weeks now, but Noblegarden is going to be brand new this year

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Blizzard , Lore , Wrath of the Lich King A note from Alex Ziebart: When Simon and Schuster sent Daniel and I a pair of free, early review copies of Arthas: Rise of the Lich King , we immediately went about planning how we were going to handle a 2-man review. We’ve been good friends for years, and one of our favorite past times is debating things like this back and forth. We rarely agree on books, and we can argue our sides until we’re blue in the face

Filed under: Odds and ends Though the picture above is actually not of Northrend, we’re pretty sure that’s about what spring time in Northrend looks like. But enough meteorology! What’s the WoW Insider team up to in game this weekend? Adam Holisky : /sings It’s spring time, for my Death Knight, in Northrend
