WoW.com’s Guide to WoW Resources

If you’ve been following WoW.com for a while, you might have noticed some more directed community content — things like The Daily Quest , the Weekly Podcast Roundup , and our Twitter account are helping spotlight some excellent content the greater WoW community has to offer.

About this site & On a personal note…

Heya guys!! So I just went through about 150 comments that needed approving and some others that were pre-approved but I just had not had the time to read yet. I deleted all of the content on my previous post and some people may be wondering why.

Outside the themepark

In the open Sunday thread a reader asked whether there was any connection between Tamarind founding a new guild for the blogging community and Gevlon founding a new ganking guild. Obviously the two guilds couldn’t be any more different from each other, Single Abstract Noun is a social guild, while Gevlon posted extremely anti-social guild rules .


Breakfast Topic: Reading rainbow

While World of Warcraft has one heck of an audience, the story involving it doesn’t limit itself to just playing the game. There’s a ton of books, comics, manga and RPG source guides out there with yet another ton of information


Cataclysm: Stat and system changes for spirit and MP5

One of the challenges for many novice level healing druids and priests is figuring out what provided more mana: X MP5 (which stands for mana per 5 seconds) or Y spirit.


Result of the free speech experiment

After letting run the free speech experiment with zero comment moderation for a week, it is time to look at the results, and draw a conclusion. Here are my observations on how the experiment went: Comment spam: You didn’t see any, I did. As I said, I did leave comment moderation on for posts older than 14 days


Focus Casting: Macros And You

I had a revelation last week. It’s one I’m not afraid to share because I suspect there are a lot of players in the same position as me. That position is peering out from round a corner with a bemused grin and crimson cheeks, watching the macro users of our raid do ten things at once while showering the raid in light and laughing at the boss

Lichborne: Frostwing and Lich King loot for death knights

Welcome to Lichborne , your weekly death knight discussion center. This week, your host is playing it cool in more ways than one, what with the test server shakeups to frost DPS. Before we start into this week’s column, I do want to assure any prospective frost DPSers that I fully plan to write a frost DPS 101 guide.


Playing with Professor P

With Blood Queen Lanathel soundly defeated, Professor P was the next Wing Boss we set our sites on. Our last time fighting him I felt like our team was really starting to get a hang on the strategy, but we stopped the raid short to go finish off Heroic Anub in ToC


3.3 Demonology Warlockery

F or some time now, I’ve been running my second spec as Demonology. I primarily use the spec for the daily random heroic that I run, but I’ve also lately found it quite fun in Battlegrounds. I want to go on record here at that start saying that everything I learned about this spec, I learned from the late Abigore (not that he’s died, mind you, just moved on to other things) and his wonderful guides .? Since he’s no longer blogging, I wanted to take the time to continue what he started, even if my advice will be somewhat more casual and less involved.? The spec is a great spec, and it deserves to be broadcast in it’s own right.? I will still (and probably always) raid Affliction, but Demonology has strengths where Affliction has weaknesses, making it perfect for a second spec.
