I don't know what I was expecting. Surprisingly I am having a lot of fun with it. When Cata came out, I had high hopes for Archaeology  but it turned BORING really quick. I think it came down to only being able to search for 3 times per zone, then having to fly across the continent to try again. Pet battles are not like that. I can level all three of my pets in an area. Pick the right zone, there are critters everywhere. (see wowhead link below for maps). Fight, fight, fight until you start maxing level, then move on to another zone. (sort of like questing). Yesterday, I went through and trained to become a pet battler. ( trainer is up by the Orgrimmar flight path). Pick a pet and a go start fights with other pets (that big yellow paw above their head) in and around Orgrimmar (usually dung beetles and spiny lizards). You start with one slot for one pet. Your pet has one skill. After your first fight, the pet will ding level 2 and pickup a second skill. After abo...

Checking MMO Champion , I see that the EU servers have opened up the Theramore's Fall challenge. On the site (at least earlier today) you could watch a live stream as a horde druid did pickup groups and ran it over and over again.  Unfortunately, this hasn't reached the US shores yet. Taking a quick jaunt home, (on non-wow business), I thought I'd login and check. The site mentions a required gear level of 353. I don't think that's my issue though. Ah well, back to work. Try again tonight. OK, now I understand. GhostCrawler said it wasn't the opener to the expansion. It's a preview of a basic encounter, the scenario, as compared to a challenge, dungeon or raid. What's your take on the Theramore event? We did not do a great job on messaging. Players expected an event -- but what we were really doing is giving players a preview of scenarios, there are a ton of scenarios coming inMists of Pandaria. It's saying "this is what scenarios a...

Went looking for a book to send with my daughter on her over-night camping trip. Saw this at the local retailer and wanted to share this with you. Time-traveling brother-and-sister team Jack and Annie have to find a certain kind of food—the fourth thing needed to save Merlin’s beloved penguin, Penny. The magic tree house whisks them off to a village in the mountains of southeast China, close to a world-famous panda reserve. Will it be their easiest adventure yet? Not a chance! Jack and Annie don't know it, but they’ve arrived on the day of a historic earthquake! How will Jack and Annie survive when the giant quake strikes? Will they be able to rescue the pandas? And how will they ever get back to the tree house so that they can fulfill their quest to save Penny as well? We've read Magic Tree House books since she was about 5. They're timid enough for the younger readers, but adventuresome enough to hold their attention until about 8-9; now too easy for my 10 year ol...

I am reading through Wowhead's review of the changes and found that Blood Pact now applies a stam buff. So what are Priests going to do in groups with Warlocks? I doubt it stacks to get 20% stam increase! I am also looking forward to my tundra mammoth for raiding and dungeons on my other toons. Hmm, running around questing with 2 friends and my mammoth! Great way to get from 10 on.. If you haven't yet, check out WowCrendor's run through of Scholo and Scarlet Monastery. The simplifications to the 'maze' of scholo and the complexity of 4 different entrances in SM are gone. Definitely going to make running Headless a bit different now that the graveyard is populated with flame-thrower wielding npcs.

taking a break from PVP With Panda's expansion date looming on the horizon, have you considered doing some questing? On my priest, have done very little questing in the cataclysm zones. I think, maybe about 50 quests combined. Sure, no Exalted rep with Therazane, but when you can throw on PVP enchants for ALMOST as good, who cares?? Back to my point, the MOP expansion is a month away. I am thinking about finding about 2-3 dozen quests that I hadn't finished and do everything UP TO turning them in. When the level cap is increased, I'll run around to the quest givers and turn in. With all our rested bonus, I'd bet I will get 1, maybe 2, bubbles towards 86.

Just a little over a month remains until the Mists of Pandera expansion is released and it's time to start getting ready. Step 1 : Remove/Uninstall outdated add-ons. I just went through my Curse client and uninstalled every addon from my interface that hasn't been updated in over a year. Friends with Benefits , Gone. TBag , Gone. I easily did this by adding the "Latest Date" column to the interface, sorted by this column then just scanned down for older items. I left a few addons that I am fairly sure will be updated, like Addon Control Panel . Curse has a nice section of add ons that work with the Panda beta. Take a look . Maybe it's time to start replacing those really old middle-ground addons with something new?? Step 2: Empty mailbox.  Blizzard hasn't handled mailbox items well several times. Making sure that the mailbox is empty before each patch isn't a bad idea. Right before my last logon, I had put bids on a bunch of disenchant prospects...
