A Theory of Fishing
I have a theory about fishing and fantasy MMORPGs. EverQuest II: Launched November 2004 Warhammer Online: Launched September 2008 Now at this point you may wonder if I am somehow suggesting that fishing is the most important feature of an MMORPG.

Ragefire Chasm Redux
In the end we stood looking out over the dungeon having made it to the far end. Once we were through the dungeon and had turned in all the quests, our group had all leveled at least once and three of us leveled twice. So our group looked like this at the end:

Hallowed in Alterac Valley
Then, one afternoon I was in the Alterac Valley battleground. I was just shy of the honor points I needed to buy something new. And as we say waiting for the battle to start somebody said, “Anybody have the ninja wand? I need it for the achievement.”

The Battle.net Conversion
I’ve been down with the flu for much of the last seven days so haven’t been keeping tabs on the gaming blogs as much as usual, but it seems that more than a few people have been getting themselves into a huff over the security implications of Blizzard making people merge their World of Warcraf...

Noblegarden Egg Frenzy
World of Warcraft has another in-game holiday going on this week. It is called Noblegarden. It is essentially Easter without Christ involved in any way, so only slightly different than Easter for a lot of people. But resurrection isn’t such a big deal on Azeroth, where nothing really die...

No Crusade at Fry’s
I was at Fry’s the other day looking for, among other things, a copy of The Burning Crusade expansion for World of Warcraft for my daughter’s account. She decided she likes blood elves during the 10 day trial of the expansion. But no Burning Crusade.

Posted in entertainment, World of Warcraft Tagged: ATi, ATi 4850 When I bought my new ASUS made ATi 4850 video card and the last thing I expected was to have problems with World of Warcraft.

Cats in the Commonlands

Hunting at 70
And speaking of the 3.0.2 update, I really like the changes that were made to the hunter class. It has always been my favorite solo class in WoW and maybe my favorite class overall in any MMO, though my fae swashbuckler in EQ2 has plenty going for it.

My First Alterac Valley
I have not done much when it comes to the battlegrounds in World of Warcraft. I went with Tistann. Being a paladin, and range weapon deprived, in a battleground did not sound like fun. Ouch. Ah, time to mount up! The last time I played a battleground, I had no mount.

Blackrock Depths - Round 1
We started rounding up quests lines and such for Blackrock Depths almost immediately after we finished up Sunken Temple a couple of weeks back. Thanks to World of Warcraft patch 2.3, the process of running down some of these quest chains gave us a pretty decent boost to our levels. So we starte...
