If you’re feeling slightly rebellious, but you don’t fancy a criminal record, then this is the suggestion for you! And yes, this one involves you gaining an inflated head if done right! Name: Kill The Guards! Should amuse for: 30 minutes. Everyone, no matter which faction they happen to be part of, has the choice between Scryers and Aldor, both of Shattrath. If you’ve not already picked then go and do so now; the guy is in the middle of Shattrath next to that big talking thing. So, as a... Read Full Story

Wrath of the Lich King is fast approaching (or so we think) and with it comes some serious safety changes to the game. There will soon be Siege Vehicles, little carts controlled by Blizzard employers which will monitor traffic within cities. If you’re riding your mount too fast, they’ll get you! Fancy flying extremely high to escape the hustle and bustle of city life? Then how does a ride in a Siege Vehicle sound? And I, for one, whole heartedly welcome these changes. I can’t walk two...

I don’t particularly enjoy being watched while playing World of Warcraft. I am talking about being watched in real life and not in-game of course (that would be silly and may well result in me spending my time grinding away in Tanaris or some other half-abandoned corner of Azeroth). It’s not that I am shy or even embarrassed of my playing skill, it’s just simply off-putting having someone breathing (and possibly drooling) over my shoulder. So yesterday I was healing my way through a... Read Full Story

I said I was going to post my favorite Screen Shot of the week, so here it is! The only problem I can see with doing this is that I am unable to reference the player who organized/snapped these pictures due to the World of Warcraft site not publishing their names. I guess they know who they are, and they know we appreciate them! This week’s particular picture comes from the undead race, showing us they are far from what their name insinuates. Try and figure out why this picture is so... Read Full Story

I have written a blog on mounts within World of Warcraft once before, but there is more! Blizzard have unveiled, yet another, spoiler of Wrath of the Lich King. There will be bears, flying carpets (watching a particular Disney film too much perhaps?) and even motorcycles. I won’t be going into too much depth and ruin it for anyone, although it appears that this is another attempt to get us players excited about the new expansion. I, for one, am not fooled.   I have read many a blog... Read Full Story

 Blizzard Gamers,    On behalf of everyone at Blizzard, I want to apologize for the challenges and frustrations you experienced while trying to purchase BlizzCon tickets on Monday and Tuesday. BlizzCon is about the positive experiences you all have had with Blizzard games. As a result of this week’s events, the excitement that many of you felt about the show has turned into dissatisfaction and disappointment.    Due to these circumstances, we’ve reevaluated our convention hall space and...

I regularly view the World of Warcraft website, both the American and the European (Youtube voice: Links on the sidebar). However, one of the main aspects that keeps me coming back is the screen shot of the day. To me, creating a great screen shot is more reason to be proud than completing an instance or raid. They signify the greatness of WoW players and show what they are capable of when they work together and unite. Some are mind boggling and, I suspect, require a huge amount of... Read Full Story

After hearing “Sorry, we don’t have any in stock” for the 16 hundredth time, we began to lose hope. Twenty minutes before it closed we approached our last shop, not expecting anything. However, our luck was in, and we left 10 minutes later with a Nintendo Wii (but we appeared to have lost quite a substantial amount of money in the process)…   I have not logged into World of Warcraft since, and I doubt I will for a good few days. Comparing the two is difficult however. One has an enormous... Read Full Story

I broke the law yesterday! Lock me up and swallow the key because, at 23 minutes past 2, I allowed an 11 year old to participate in a rather heated battleground. I know I have brought shame to myself and fellow players, but the pressure facing me was too overwhelming. I had to say yes to the little punk!   He was my little cousin, however this is no excuse with close to everyone constantly complaining that preteens ruin our wonderful game. However, after he went off to bed I thought I... Read Full Story

It appears that one of my previous rants exploring Blizzard’s sheer greed when it comes to money has, in-fact, been proven right! The post in question can be found here. It basically sums up the annoyance many players (including myself) felt when Blizzard unveiled a tremendously crap stunt to gain new players to the game. We are not interested in that half-bread zebra!   So anyway, I received an email from Blizzard the other day. It was one of those automated emails everyone who has an... Read Full Story
