Post about class fantasy with some fantasy conversation between my pally and my warlock. Warlock: I hate my class hall. I hate my class mount. Demons stink and they don't bathe. I have to go into the sewers to get to my class hall and all it is space on the demon hunter starting zone. Demon Hunters!?! who took my demon form in return for empowered demon minions. Paladin: I was just born about a year ago now, so I am new to this, but you're a warlock. You have a demon as a pet following you around all the time. I'd think you would be used to it by now.  Your class mount is almost identical to that fel-horsey you rode around Dalaran for months. Now you are saying you don't like it?   Like you have it hard. Your class hall is a shiny golden palace. Your mount comes in three colors and you can change it based on your outfit. Top it off, you got help the priest class hall and stole away one of their followers. You have a giant space alien dancing aro...

Everyone who has created a blog has done so for a reason. For all of you WoW bloggers out there, what was that reason? Why did you choose to put fingers to keys to write about a computer game? What type of posts do you like to write? Does your blog have a theme to it, or do you just wing it and write whatever you want? We’d love to know! Blogging as a community As I've stated in previous posts, WoW is all about the community. One of the most striking elements of the video game is the number of 'third party' contributors to the game. Sure there are the big companies that have large staffs of people posting about this game (as any game does, pcgamer, gamespot, wowhead, blizzwatch, etc.), but it's the bloggers that help it stand out. Us bloggers add life to a game that would probably otherwise die. We comment, we complain, we analyze, we deconstruct. If not for community like ours, we wouldn't have flying any longer in new content. Blizzard would have bee...

Sorry Z and Cinder for necroing this old topic , but I just can't pass it up.. I think I can have fun with this.. So here goes How has WoW changed my life? I see Quest Givers! EVERYWHERE. First off, I can't seem to go anywhere without seeing little yellow exclamation marks over peoples heads . They're everywhere!?! I am headed to the grocery store and the girl scouts are out front selling cookies. All I need to do to complete the quest is give 5G to buy a box and I get +10 Troop Girl Scouts rep and +10 Some_Parent_In_My_Town rep. Never know when that will eventually pay out, probably middle school. Can't Touch This! The crappy end-game content in other video games, keeps me coming back for more. During each WoW expansion there comes a lull. Friends are calling me to come play the latest co-op FPS and blow up some bad guys. For many, many games they have a great story, lots of lore, but absolutely die when it comes to end-game content. You've reached lev...

As my children start preparing for school starting up again in t-minus 30 days, I found this blog-topic keenly interesting.. My oldest is in high-school and has learned the fine-art of carrying around  only what's absolutely necessary.  That includes only a pencil or pen, and a notebook. My son who's just starting middle-school (i.e. 6th grade) I imagine that his backpack is going to be stuffed full and weighing in at 11kg (25lbs) . My alt and my main fit into both of these categories. So, What's in my backpack??   (I am just glad you didn't ask What's in my bank!?). Elkagorasa As this site's namesake (and my former, but stil active main), I am a bit more sloppy with his bags. He has quest items that I don't know what quest they belong to any more. He has three different gear sets because I still haven't quite settled on a spec yet (affliction this month, destruction last month). Topping it off, his gear is often highly in flux, so he is often...
