Retain (but reduce) Tanking Niches. Warriors retain status as most flexible tank with no specific strengths and/or weaknesses. The general idea [...]

Temporary Blizzard Account

Temporary Blizzard Account  
Is anyone else having the issue that their “Temporary” account (used to access beta) isn’t working as a “real” account (used to purchase blizzcon tickets)?
 
Beyond that, password retrieval isn’t working because it says my account doesn’t exist, but when I go to create an account it says my email address is [...]

Shadow Council gnome rogues learn Draconic

Shadow Council gnome rogues learn Draconic
This takes my vote for best bug of the patch, if not best bug ever. And not just because it’s taking place on my home realm. Apparently as of yesterday’s patch, each and every gnome rogue on Shadow Council (US) was endowed with the ability to speak and understand the [...]

Why can’t I go on?

Why can’t I go on?
Beta is a beta for the content as well as the patching and servers. The Devs are likely testing the servers memory, database, and processing limits as well as creating the baselines(normal statistics). To do this, they need to test levels of memory and processing power alongside the amount of [...]

System requirements posted for WotLK

System requirements posted for WotLK
Blizzard has been putting off posting system requirements for Wrath of the Lich King for a while, but they’ve finally made a commitment, posted on the official forums. As one might expect, they’re fairly forgiving given modern hardware, but they are significantly bumped from the BC requirements (which were not updated [...]

WoW Moviewatch: What Happens in Booty Bay Stays in Booty Bay
Just in time for the weekend, like a quick junket to Vegas,we offer a movie called What Happens in Booty Bay Stays in Booty Bay. The filmmaker, Brigitte Swiftblade, calls this an “RP documentary.” I love this format; it’s very original. Since she’s playing on [...]

Blizzard, Get rid of Engineering

Professions are not made in a vacuum. It requires art assets, programming for spells, development & cross-checking with itemization teams & lots of other people… oh, and probably lots of coffee from the interns. Engineering is an incredibly art- and spell-intensive profession. Players can swear up and down they don’t mind placeholders and rehashes if [...]
