Look into my crystal ball

The shared topic proposed this week over at Blog Azeroth was: So what do you guys remember about the older days of WoW? Because I rather like the look of her beads and because she’s underused, I’m going to highjack Ruuna the Blind and her crystal ball for this post. Let your mind wander, drifting [...]

1 reason why I love playing Night Elves

Even our NPCs are total bitches and fashion snobs. Just have to hope the poor little “bumpkin” never learns Darnassian. Even the cat laughs at him. It turns out rather sweetly I thought his robes were “Hand-sewn with love by Modoru’s grandmother” and can be purchased for the princely sum of 50g from Hakmud of [...]

Oh Undead Brother, Where art Thou!

We looked everywhere as well: No Undead’s poisoning Stanley or illtreating the good farmers of Hillsbrad fields. Not a single one lurking in the shadows of Nesingwary’s STV camp A search of Dustwallow Marsh yielded several ret paladins and a troll mage, but not one Forsaken. So to combat this dire situation, I decided to [...]

Through the Looking Glass

Whilst running around the Caverns of Time (it turns out those mobs still hit holy priests pretty hard) I couldn’t help but notice the various different human models in Southshore. Why can’t we make humans who look like this? Blizzard can hardly argue evolution as Old Hillsbrad wasn’t that long ago. Yet, taking this particular [...]

Laziness and screenshots

I’ve been slacking off from writing for the past week partly due to hardmodes, (hate hate hate Freya plus 3, maybe its because half our guild are basement dwelling troglodyte’s who have this lethal fascination with feeling sunbeams on their face), partly due to my little hunter who is not so little anymore and partly [...]

Screenshot Saturday

Because I have huge folders full of screenshots and partly because I’m lazy, Saturdays will be screenshot days. The basic idea is to post a random screenshot from my folders and one from the Gnomeling’s. Do we take pictures of the same things? I’m guessing not, but this one way of finding out (yes, I [...]

Fauna

Does everyone have a go to alt? The character you reroll without fail on every server you play on. The Gnomeling tends to fall back to warriors or druids (3 warriors and 3 druids all level 60 and above) and I’m drawn to hunters, partly I suspect because I’m a sucker for the pet aspect. [...]

Redridge Blues

After my very first character, I tended to stay clear of  leveling through Redridge. The ground looked too parched, too red. Orcs and weird doglike people lurked in the hills beyond the safety of the town itself… in short an ugly zone best avoided. Then wanting a change of scene the Gnomeling dragged me to [...]

School’s in session!

I’m having a bit of a retro week, brought on in part by the nostalgia value of the Fire Festival. Scholomance. Even the name sends whispers down your spine. A school of dark magic, where the tortured screams of the damned still drift across the water and even heroes fear to tread. To enter you need [...]

And The Flames Went Higher

Having proved her worth as a mighty juggler, Erinys was rewarded with the title of Flame Warden today. The slightly weird expression  on her face could be explained away by the copious amounts of alcohol she consumed on her way into Darnassus or simply by the fact she is on fire. I have to admit [...]
