Meet Malanie! She’s a shy, stuttering young lady who grew up on a farm in the outer areas of Elwynn Forest. She doesn’t really interact with others that much, mostly preferring to stay quiet and unnoticed. Then she went to Outland, and started getting quest rewards. So much for the innocence of youth, huh? Seriously [...]

I’ve been pouring a huge amount of effort into my human priest lately. I’m trying to get her to 70 before the expansion, so I’ve still got some work cut out for me. It also makes a great excuse to check out the Alliance lore, particularly as it relates to humans. Because of the fact [...]

Okay, I’m better now. Calmer, less frustrated, and a lot less dead. Last night I was asked to kite the striders for the Vashj fight. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the fight, during one part you have to handle mobs that Vashj will call to her. One of the mobs can’t be [...]

See, I have not-so-fond memories of getting completely destroyed by those damn demon pigs. I hate them with a [...]

World of Warcraft and a job requiring me to be at work at 6 am don’t mix well. >.> Also, I would like to point out that not having played a DPS class before the release of the expansion, I’ve gotten spoiled by paladins – running Karazhan without Blessing of Salvation is kinda fun, if [...]

My engineering on my shaman has been stalled at 368 for the longest time, largely for two reasons. The recipes that grant skillpoints are hugely expensive in materials required. It’s a lot of ore, and farming ore without epic flight sucks. Even if you find it on the radar, people will swoop in and nab [...]

Any story worth reading has to have a solid beginning. And I don’t mean something like “Once upon a time…” or “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…”. Technically, yes, that’s a beginning, but not what I mean in this case. I’m speaking more of character development! Why does the hero become [...]
