Patch 4.3 PTR patch notes updated for Oct. 18

The patch notes for the patch 4.3 PTR have gone through a slight overhaul today. While the changes are not many, they're pretty significant. Some of these changes have already been noted by players, like Hurricane's new visual. Others are

Extrinsic Rewards

I was thinking about the mechanics and systems that I do not enjoy or approve of in WoW, and it struck me that a large percentage of them share the same characteristic of being extrinsic rewards. These include mechanics like crafting profession perks,

Minecraft needs a badge system

I've been digging and digging, hoping to find some redstone. I'd like to make gates for my town and pistons are the key. Also I want a compass so I don't get quite as lost when I am searching for the redstone that I need for my compass.

LF Inscriptionist on Bronzebeard/Gold Exchange

I decided to see WoW from the "other" side.  I've always played Horde toons, and have never gotten an Alliance toon past level 7 LOL.  I rolled on Bronzebeard - US, and I have to admit, I'm having a great time. 

Conflicted about professions

When I first rolled my hunter back at the start of wrath, I made her a miner/engineer. I maxxed her professions and went on about my happy way. At the start of Cata, I was feeling rather 'meh' about huntering (which is odd, because it is probably

"A True Warrior Forges His Own Axe"

Feels free fer ta skip this one. Is just me sortin' out where we stands and what be missin', specialies with all these young up-and-comin' team members. Plus, is gives me an excuse fer ta markup some HTML tablicicousness, what I enjoy 'cause

Quote of the Interval of Time

I think that sometimes these books are almost a little too long to the point where the filler distracts us from the story itself. -Syp This is all too true, not just for LOTRO or WoW, but for about any quest-based game I've ever played. We're

Discussion: Subscriber Loss

Hey wow_ladies!I don't know if this has been posted recently or not. I don't have the numbers, but I did hear that MMO Champion had an extremely long post about subscriber loss and why people think WoW is losing so many players.Now, I don't

Meanwhile, Across Azeroth...

"Did you hear about that nice little Orc that used to live down the street from us? He's getting married!" "Oh yeah, to who... or should I say what?" "You're so bad." "I heard she was pregnant." "Well,

Professions for a Paladin

I will eventually be able to decide something for myself on occasion, I swear. 8BSo I posted awhile ago about wanting to reclaim the name of my very first character, Iridia, but how it had been snatched up by someone else between the time I had transferred

To celebrate the upcoming 4.2....

It's time for another round of "Help me pick which alt to level." I know you've all seen this before, but this is my first time asking! I have a weekend with my kids away at Grandma's house and with the exception of Al'Akir,

New pet!

I’m amazed I pulled this off, so I wanted to share with people who’d understand my squee. :D I woke up early and decided to farm some volatiles over breakfast while the server (WrA) was still relatively quiet, so I took my druid to Deepholm.

For the lawls

I was running around Badlands on my wee warrior yesterday, questing and mining, and came across Theldurin the Lost, hanging out at the southwestern corner of the Scar of the Worldbreaker. I took his quest, and between that and the subsequent two (given

Archeology versus Artifacts

As RIFT and Cataclysm were released very close to each other, it's interesting to compare similar systems from both games. One such comparable mini-game is Archeology in WoW and collecting Artifacts in RIFT. In a lot of ways, Archeology reflects

Make up to 200K with minutes of work

I usually don't have guests posts. I never had one before. I'm not seeking guest contributors. But Aurèle (twitter) was kept bugging me with his post and it's pretty good, so I publish it. The ultimate goblin trick: how to make

Levelling Speed in Cataclysm

There's a lot of concern that levelling is too fast in Cataclysm. I am not sure if it is too fast or not, but lately I've been making a bunch of low level alts. Here is one thing I've noticed about levelling speed.If you do nothing but

He said the sheriff’s near.

Rock Ridge is only the best looking Wild, Wild West game location I’ve ever seen. It’s called the Scarlet Gorge for good reason. Never mind all the undead mining for sourcestone under the whips of their Endless Court masters. Scarlet Gorge

Another way to level

PC Gamer has a story about Everbloom, a toon that leveled all the way to 85 without killing a single mob or completing quests. The leveling was completed by exploring and professions alone. Now that is some major patience. He started this feat back

Rumination on Gear and other Things

With Blizzard's recent blog post and Q&A on gear I've started to think about the role of gear in this game once again. In my four years of playing the game I've had several thoughts on the importance of gear. When I first started raiding

The weird things I do

1. I'm afraid of my own shadow: It seems that with Cataclysm we got much more definition in the game in terms of shadows. I don't think that I remember seeing shadows as clearly in Wrath (though my memory is horrible, so who knows). A neat looking

XP for old quests?

I'm not at 85 yet. I went through Vashj'r, and to be honest considered the experience very much a mixed bag. Some of it was really gratifying and enjoyable; but to be honest, some of it was so tedious that I found it difficult to remain motivated

Busy Rifting, RIFT official launch today

RIFT officially launches it MMO game today and with it the newest and one the most polished new MMO game I can remember hearing of as well as having played in a long time. However I've have been playing in the Head Start launch for about a week now
