Account-wide achievements and an end to blank slates.

Some graphical glitches are creepier than the rest. Not sure whether it’s her lack of eyes or the fact that her entire body seems have been dipped in plaster of Paris. Either way, I know I’d be running in the opposite direction. Account-wide achievements seem to be semi working in the current Beta build and [...]

BETA: Mini Pets, Mounts and other Pretties

I’ve been completely blown away with the sheer beauty of Mists so far. So many waterfalls and fabulous little details to draw the eye. On playing around with the new pet journal, I discovered a couple of interesting things. First up, the Macabre Marionette is in the book, so it looks like we’re finally getting [...]

Gone Fishing – A Blog Azeroth Shared Topic

The Blog Azeroth shared topic this week revolves around fishing. Fishing is an odd sort of minigame in WoW and people I’ve talked to either love it or hate it. So what’s your take on the most grindy of sports? If you love it: Why? Where’s your favorite spot to go drop a line and veg [...]

Cherry Mana Tea: My reflex reaction on MoP so far.

I have to admit I’m rather excited by the flood of MoP information flowing out of fan sites right now. My highlights would have to include: An 11th character slot has been added. I would of course prefer it to be 12, 13 or 50 but I’ll settle for 11. The visual look of the zones. [...]

Something Wicked This Way Comes…

As possibly the only person who plays WoW but doesn’t have a seapony, I’ve been doing a lot of fishing this past week. Now I’m the first to admit my fishing tolerance is low. In fact I’d rather be doing pretty much anything, including washing the dishes than fishing but I want a seahorse in a bubble [...]

Winter Veil – You’re a Mean One!

This is a new daily added this Winter Veil which has combined two of the old staples, rescuing Metzen the Reindeer and killing off the Greench so you can return the presents he stole. Instead of having to go to both Hillsbrad (for the Greench) and either Tanaris or the Searing Gorge (to rescue the [...]

Creepy Crate – Munching it’s way to an Armadillo

Possibly because the crate is an extension of our own dark thoughts or merely because it’s a happy to help sort of crate, all the critters that it snacks upon count for both the Critter Kill Squad achievement and the Pest Control achievement. As we’ve just made a little guild to store alts and to [...]

Beware the screech of the red haired bat!

First of all, sorry for the lack of posts. We’ve been internetless for the last few days. It’s weird, there I was reading a book and watching CSI, all happy curled up on the sofa. Then Mr Harpy announced the absence of the internet and suddenly all I wanted to do was log WoW, read [...]

“Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple strudels”

The theme this week of Blog  Azeroth is “a few of our favourite things”, suggested by Ardol. Given that it involves lists, I couldn’t resist taking part. However to avoid a four thousand word essay on why I prefer that poet over that one, or why these are my favourite movies I’m going to keep [...]

Of teeth and claws and cute little furry bits

Erinys is a bad little priest. Somewhere on her travels she has managed to “liberate” a little tiny windrider from the threat of forced labour carrying taurens around. He seems to like the idea of flying safely under the wings of her drake. I really don’t agree with the idea of being able to buy [...]
