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.

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.

Admit it. You like loot as much as I do. Maybe you oggle over stats on a new shiny with a calculator and spreadsheet at hand

The Problem Last week Big Bear Butt issued a call for Blizzard to end Prohibition and start selling gold to players . The theory is that by offering players a safe and legal method of purchasing gold, Blizzard will greatly damage the economic incentive of hackers and goldsellers, reducing the damage that hacked accounts are doing to the game.

Imagine you are the president of your local garden gnome painting club. The club meets regularly for sessions where the members sit together and paint garden gnomes. Every year there is a charity event, with the painted garden gnomes being sold for charity after an exposition

Just a heads up that I need somewhere between a few weeks and a month or two to recharge my blogging batteries. Tired bear is tired I’ve been feeling compelled to post every single day recently, which means that writing is starting to feel like a job

Tamarind from Righteous Orbs founded a World of Warcraft guild for the blogging community , called Single Abstract Noun on the EU RP server Argent Dawn, Horde side. There is also a US chapter . I joined the Euro side with a Tauren shaman, now level 4, and owning 67 copper pieces.

Dear Sick guild of Kel’thuzad, is a post from: Aurdon’s Mage Blog I’m out. I thought about not doing a post on this but I want you (and others seeking acceptance within your guild) to know what causes players to quit your guild

D uring my time spent in WoW, I, like the rest of you, have had occasion to encounter a wide range of behavioral types.? Being somewhat of a psychology geek (or is that nerd? or dweeb? Jbelle ?), I usually view a lot of these types with a bit of a clinical detachment, holding myself aloof from the drama.? Most would say I have a rather high tolerance for things that can be quite annoying or even downright rude.? Hence why I don’t write a whole lot about failed PuGs and getting ninja’ed and such.? I’m the type that wants to find the source of the behavior and puzzle it out, fix it maybe.? In another life, I was probably a decent shrink.

Every week, Shifting Perspectives explores issues affecting druids and those who group with them . This week, we make a dangerous segue from curling to the issue of Healing Touch in raids, shattering our once-promising career with a finger cramp.

Ready Check is a column focusing on successful raiding for the serious raider.

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the “Hardcore Casual” mentality. In my 3 years of playing World of Warcraft, I’ve cut my teeth against some of the best in the game (well, my server or battlegroup).

Anne talked recently about all the bits and pieces that tend to accumulate in a packrat’s bank vault , and I’m one of the guilty parties. I’m a hardcore collector of feral staves, tier sets, tabards, and assorted items that I just can’t bring myself to delete ( Seal of Ascension — seriously, why do I still have this?). Unfortunately, the tendency carries over into quests as well.
