Is Patch 3.3.3 this week? Yes, most likely. (The “most likely” is only here to make sure that you don’t yell at me if something changes) Check the Patch 3.3.3 PTR Notes for a quick summary of the changes, the regular recap will be available on MMO-Champ soon

Heya guys!! So…this is a new thing for me to do. Uhm… I got an e-mail today from a reader and it got under my skin.

After giving you a second to think what movie I was quoting in the title, I would like to talk to you about the word “friend” (and not the word “inconceivable”, as you might have thought).

This is one of those – not enough words to dedicate to it’s own space sorta post and when 4 80’s and 2 side project alts are just not enough to keep you entertained. Pugnaciouss is 20 and is mounted, and is enjoying popping into SAN every now and then. Healing at

Every Sunday, Chase Christian of The Light and How to Swing It invites you to discuss the finer side of the paladin class: the holy specialization. This week, we examine what separates the good paladins from the great paladins, and how to get yourself into the second category. Over the course of the past week, I’ve been in Stratholme, power-leveling a few lowbies in my guild.

Hey guys!! I’m not too sure how many of you all are familiar with D20 3.5 Dungeons and Dragons, but if you like pen and paper role playing games at all it’s a great system. Recently a company by the name of Paizo came out with a new version of 3.5 D20 D&D called Pathfinder . You can even go to their site and check out most of the core rules at this link: Pathfinder D20 .

It’s time again for Arcane Brilliance , the weekly mage column that today brings you the above fan-submitted picture of an apparent gnome explosion. Incidentally, Gnome Explosion

In which Anna makes an analogy to describe WoW Lore. There’s a lot of information out there about WoW Lore

Patch 3.3.3 – Random Dungeons Changes Patch 3.3.3 should be deployed during the next maintenance on live servers and it’s time to mention a few interesting changes to the Dungeon Finder that I forgot to report in the past weeks.

‘Caprica’ recap: The gods might die, but the dogs remain Entertainment Weekly In the real world, though, Joe is a mess. He’s unshaven

Once upon a time, in a previous millenium, there was a great series of single-player roleplaying games called Ultima. They were relatively open world compared to their competitors, and so it is not surprising that the series culminated in one of the first mass market MMORPGs, Ultima Online. Unfortunately once they acquired the brand, EA didn’t treat it all that well

I have a small thing for Thrall. I admit that liking a green orc is probably not the sanest thing a Night Elf could um uh… lust after admire, his strength and honor, his leadership, his bearing…. I wanted him and Jaina to get together

Last week, we talked about the core buffs just about every raid needs to get by. I included the 3% damage buff provided by some folks like retribution paladins. While ample raids get by without that buff, it’s so straightforward that I felt it merited inclusion.

Welcome back to The Queue , WoW.com’s daily Q&A column where the WoW.com team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft.

No, this isn’t about how you can literally buy a raid slot, much like Gevlon did many months ago.

Lisa Poisso and Robin Torres are real-life mamas and experienced WoW players — and j ust as we don’t want our precious babies to be the ones kicking and wailing on the floor of checkout lane next to the candy, neither do we want you to become known as That Guy on your server

I must admit that I always thought that Gevlon, like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, had no heart. When last year I pulled the stunt of claiming to be somebody else (to make a point about identity on the internet), I choose Gevlon for the simple reason that he was the least likely to get upset about somebody stealing his identity. I thought Gevlon was intelligent, but was completely lacking what is called “Emotional Intelligence”.

I’m 14 hours into Final Fantasy XIII, which curiously enough means I haven’t even left the “tutorial” part yet, which lasts for about 20 hours before you are given basic functionalities like choosing your group members or choosing where to go. So I’m not calling this a review. But as I’ll be away from my PS3 for the coming two weeks, that means I won’t write a review anytime soon

Zach first ground out the Battlegrounds on a PvP server on a shaman, refusing to spec restoration during a time when shamans were only brought to raids because of Mana Tide. Man, those days sucked. This guide shouldn’t take us very long unlike the past two weeks’ unexpectedly lengthy detour into all manner of backstabbery and ambushness because, as we all very well know, shamans don’t PvP.

Plenty, Jake Neri gave an interview to MMORPG in it he began talking about the development process and how they know there are a lot of expectations for the release of SWTOR.
