Last night, while suffering with my disrupted sleep pattern, I was browsing Twitter. @Warcraft retweeted @talkingcongas who had tweeted a link to one of his blue posts as Zarhym, a Community Manager on the US Blizzard forums. As most EU players will know, the US forums are more prominent that ours and have more interaction between players and Blizz devs. The crux of it what the blue post said:

Recently, and not long after signing up to the annual pass scheme, I lost my WoW mojo. Tarry is now the proud owner of a Flameward Hippogryph. I'm not sure what else there is that I can do, solo, in the Firelands.I've been a bit half-hearted about the new Darkmoon Faire content with her and managed to get enough tokens to get the Darkmoon Monkey during the second fair since the big changes.

So I somehow came across Glitch about a week ago. To say I'm a little taken with it is an understatement. Well, any game that sends you an email that says [name] has added you as a contact on Glitch. They probably did this so they can contact you while playing the game.It may seem weird, but don’t worry - it’s not weird. No, “weird” would be if [name] happened to be a manatee with opposable

I'm feeling grumpy because, well, I just am, ok? I need to take my meds but to do that and not vomit after several hours of unbearable nausea, I need to eat. There's no food in the house and I need to shower before I get dressed and I'm having difficulty actually leaving the house, but that's another story, not for my WoW blog. I only mention it because I want to make it clear why this thing is

This deserves a post all to itself. I was looking for stuff on Firelands vendors, trying to figure out when I'll get to access them, when I came across this comments thread.

I aent' ded! Still playing WoW, with a brief foray into Rift (if you see my twitter feed, you'll see the #Rift spam). I did like Rift. But... It's not WoW. If I had a more powerful graphics card, I would probably have gotten more out of it, visually at least. And I did like the character creation choices, for all that they matter in the game world where you can't see your face (most of the

Picnik are doing spacey-themed overlays in recognition of the end of the Space Shuttle program. All my photo tinkering will be spacey, until they take them away. And then I will cry. So I got to exalted with my guild. It's kind of academic; it's not like there's anything I can do with the rep. We're about 25% through level 2 and there's no other rewards available to me.

As you may glean from the rest of this blog, I'm pretty much Horde For Life. Like so many others, my first toons were Alliance (I discovered last night that I have actually deleted my very first toon, Czarina the dorf warrior, which surprised me. Perhaps I'm not as attached as I thought I was?); my 10th toon on my first server was a belf rogue. The rest is relatively consigned to history. When

Some time ago I wrote about an idea I'd had; to encourage responsible drinking in-game and out, include hangovers. I still think there's some value in the idea, comedic if nothing else. Tarry hit 85 in Uldum and decided to drink all the Gilnean Brandy she'd been stealing from people. Before he left the game, my friend Kem (Morus at the time) and I had a discussion about repairs. I'd been

Unless you've been under a rock for a while (and to be fair, the Sundering did throw a few of them about) you'll be familiar with the Guild Achievement system. It might be all shiny and new, but Blizz have already nerfed it.

From Deathwing's journey portrayed here, he escapes his confines in northern Kalimdor (sundering The Barrens, flooding Thousand Needles and causing a tidal wave in Booty Bay) which might or might not be in Mount Hyjal, flies down the western coast of Kalimdor to Darkshore...

*NB: addon links will almost certainly go to the relevant page on curse.com where I do have an account, but have no other affiliation. Other than, that's where I download my addons from. Effectively changing computers has brought with it a few WoW-specific issues. Today's knotty mess is Epic Music Player.

So, after two weeks out, I was pretty keen to get back into WoW. Lately, I've been finding my 'lock and death knight most satisfying to play, so they were the first ones out the blocks when I got back online. Kinelfire is now level 40 and is riding a fast and pointy flaming horsey. I've yet to go through, but Maraudon - Purple Crystals has appeared on her specific dungeon selection list. Rest

My computer is borked. It'd been a bit iffy about turning back on for a while, and then moving killed it dead. I should get it back soon, it's nearly ready. Dad just has to reinstall Windows again, or something, no doubt. I've been without WoW for over a week and I'm starting to forget what Azeroth looks like, never mind how to play...

So, the 'lock quest chain for the Orb of Noh'Orahil?Last night I dinged 36 on Kinelfire and picked up the first part when I visited my trainer. I was still 36 when I went to Desolace for the parts required. They both dropped of the first appropriate mobs, though I did have one corpse run when an infernal and a succubus decided to join in the fight. C'est la vie.Then I had to run from Camp Taurajo

So. I finally bit the bullet and coughed up the 200g for the pattern for Robes of Arcana. That's actually at least 50g less than I've seen it since I started looking a month or so back, so it could have been worse. The robes themselves seem to go for anything from 50g to 100g - guess it depends on how many 'locks are on the Enchanted Gold Bloodrobe quest.The robes themselves are fine; quite an

So, I finally have the Deadmines achievement on a level-appropriate toon. And it may yet be one of the hardest-won achievements I've ever done.I zoned in to the dungeon in progress (on my still relatively shiny new hunter) as the group was wiping. At the first mob pull of the entire instance. The tank and one of the other dps' dropped group even before releasing, so it was clearly going to be a

It is bittersweet to set foot in Silvermoon City. So much has changed from the dusty old memories that I struggle to recall and yet am haunted by in my dreams, and still so much has remained. The city is the same; I am a different person. Even when I find someone I knew before - the few who remain have tucked themselves away in hidden corners of the city - I see the flash of horror in their eyes

In the circular way of things, I'm back spending more time than I'd like in Mauradon; the same place I was spending too much time in when this blog began. When I'm in as Evadnie, dps and non-mana classes still like to tell me how to heal. Today, a Tauren warrior (who might have been the tank but probably not) told me that I'd been healing myself, because I hadn't been healing him. If the stupid

Some times, PuGs just do not go well. RFD isn't one of my most favourite dungeons, but I can deal with it. Usually. Right from the get-go, the others decided that they wanted a "fast and full run". Fair enough; I actually prefer that because it increases my chances of getting nice loot. Like that time through Gnomeregan that two of the party just wanted to go straight to the last boss and skip

So, this should probably be kept until the autumn and Brewfest, but it's on my mind now, and if I wait until then, I will have forgotten everything I was going to say.Normally, I haven't bothered much with drinking in-game. By drinking, I don't mean mana replenishment; I mean in-game alcohol. I've been playing Tarryfingert these past few days (and her next diary entry is on the cards, it just

This random dungeon thing is good, up to a point. Today I've run SM Graveyard more times than I care to remember. Yesterday, towards the end the nth Gnomeregan run, I was idly looking at the column of portraits and trying to figure out who the healer was.Yes. It was me.

Forgive my sporadic blogging; I just haven't quite been feeling the muse. I have been playing Tarryfingert, too. Should really update her diary... I've also been playing Evadnie, my holy priest. And, as is often the case with a reasonably decent healer (I've had a few comments and minimal wipage on my watch), most of the time there's no mention of my skills, such as they are.

Had a surprisingly good run through Gnomeregan on Kinelfire last night. It was late when the group finally formed, and when the Gnomer load screen popped up, my heart sank. So many times I've tried to go through this particular instance and the group's fallen apart or it's been a total wipe-a-rama. But...This time there were no corpse runs (and no res sickness!), though we did lose the tank and a

I finally bested those Searing Blade types; the ones mooching around Skull Rock! Or is it Burning Blade? I get so confused with these warlocks and their clubs. Anyway. Whatever. Thrall was delighted that I had done as he asked. So delighted, in fact, that he asked me to perform a covert mission on his behest. He asked me to go to the Cleft of Shadow (which has the unfortunate side-effect of

DurotarI took it easier today, I think I may have overdone it in the last two days, with my eagerness to prove myself as ready to fight. The Quillboar kept getting the better of me, though I did eventually end up victorious. If I never hear another squeal of a Quillboar dying, it will be too soon. Still, I haven't heard much about them, as a people, so hopefully that's that and I won't come

If this entry seems a bit less... well, detailed, forgive me. My heart wasn't in it quite the same. Sad news from Silvermoon.I awoke, refreshed, in Sen'jin village. A balmy breeze was blowing in from the sea, sweet relief from the oppressive heat of the Valley of Trials. Before turning in last night, I had spoken to a number of the locals; they had a number of tasks needing doing. An elderly

It's often hard to come up with a good name for an avatar. Waaaaay back when I first started playing WoW, I chose Smashing Pumpkins song names, starting with Czarina (B-side to Ava Adore) which segued into song names from other bands, like Le Tigre. The one exception to my private rule was my nelf drood, Linoleum. Deceptacon was my earworm at that point, and one line goes 'your lyrics are dumb

It finally arrived! The day when I could leave Silvermoon City and go out into the world for myself. I'd heard so much from the travellers that passed through mother's shop, about places so different to out beautiful city, and the surrounding forest. I want to see it all for myself. I'd decided long ago that I would strike out and carve my own path, and I would serve the Horde as I went. Who

By 'eck, people are nice on RP servers. Well, Moonglade at least. I've been playing 3 new characters over the last few weeks, on and off. A frost mage (well, she will be as I progress through the levels - she's about 23 right now), a 'lock (who's going destruction because I want her to set things on fire lots) and a death knight (and the more I spec her frost, the more I miss blood)I've only used

Who camps the Brightly Coloured Eggs?Srsly, it's an egg hunt. Sitting on your mechanohog or whatever it's called, waiting for respawn - surely that makes it an egg catch?Oh well, each to their own...

I was kicked from a group!By a need roll ninja!From Talnivar server, a PvP server. I've totally forgotten his name, but the tank was with him and he was called Cashewnutz. Classy, no? The 'z' at the end adds a certain je nais sais quoi, right?It was just SFK, but my play time is limited (by my attention span which gets shorter and shorter - I'm playing for at most an hour a time just now) and I'm

You know that it's not going to be a good run when you zone into the dungeon and the rest of the party is snipping at one another about a need roll. Especially when it's a the pally that's bleating on about there being no healing mail at level 17. And they're still expecting the priest healer to rez them.I stayed in the Deadmines long enough to run to the foundry part, realise the priest had

Having hit the early 50s it seems that the only instance I now get from the LFG Random selection is LBRS. The first time I went there I was panicking… until less than 10 minutes later when I got the ‘instance complete’ flash up. Really? Five (maybe six) trash pulls and a boss and we’re done? Alrighty then!! Plus spellpower mail wrists – woo-hoo!! Himself and I must have run it about 6 times now,

I decided that I'd let my baby 'lock loose in LFG to kinda get PuGing from a DPS point of view. I have to say I was prepared for horrendous queues and they didn't materialise at all. In both WC and SFK I got a group straight away (might have something to do with timing - after all what else are you gonna do on Sunday mornings?) so that part of the myth failed to live up to

My beloved and I have mostly been playing our Death Knights this week. It's somewhat refreshing to play content that we've not done much of before, and we've even had a couple of absolutely new experiences: Northrend instances. (Other than Utgarde Keep; we've done that a few times already and I won the roll on the very nice 2h axe...) Having now dinged 73, we randomly grouped to Azjol'Nerub and

I use the Blizzard Launcher when loading WoW. Do you? It's cute; Blizz tell you stuff about the game and stuff. And I've *just* learnt that it also looks for trojans and 3rd party software that might steal your password etc.The current headlines in news are:March of the Scourge MousepadPlagueworks Now Open!World of Warcraft Mobile Armoury UpdatePatch 3.3 Now Live!

So, being biologically female, there are certain times in my life when I have a significantly reduced capacity to deal with the daily bullshit of people. My beloved would argue that that's probably most days, depending on the weather, which is true. Sometimes, someone hits need on something like that trinket Noxxion drops, and I'll think to myself "Maybe they hit it by accident. Maybe they were

You probably already know all you need to about huntering. It's the easiest class to level, a female nelf hunter is most likely being played by some pervy guy who likes to watch her idle bounce animation and occasionally strip her down to her undies and have her dance in the fountain in Stormwind, sometimes for money. Bots or gold farmers rend to roll hunters too, you can see them where the rare

There a few classic WoW instances and numerous raids I've never taken part in. The Outland ones I could run with my eyes shut, I swear, having done so many of them back along in my BC days. Ditto the Northrend ones up to the Trial multiples and the ones patched in in 3.3. Maraudon is one of the ones I had never set foot in, suprisingly really, being that it is in that zone of uber popularity:

For a change, and to give my partner a break from the stress of tanking, we decided to play different toons last night, both dps. I played my rogue and my dearest played his warlock.As expected, the queuing time was longer, but we didn't really mind. It gave me a chance to get my engineering up a bit, and to do my dearest's lock quest. He can now summon a succubus, though I think he'll probably

Exuberant post incoming, but I hit 40 today, which meant not only do I get a speedy raptor (yeah, it's SO not olive. It's pink. I care not for the tyranny of the tooltip) but I also borrowed back the gold I gave away when I (tried to) quit so I bought myself a dual spec as well. Resto shammy healing is lovely, I adore the simplicity that I have at present; very different to

Sometimes the random part of the dungeon finder doesn't feel so random. Last night, we went through SM Armoury oh, I dunno, 6 times? We also did a couple of RFDs, too. I guess that's probably down to the level bracket thing - we're now both lvl 36, and the dungeon finder (both random and specific) will only allow us to choose certain dungeons that are deemed level appropriate. I guess that means

About the same time as 3.3 rolled out, bringing the joys of the Random Dungeon Finder, my partner and I decided to roll new toons; a tank and a healer, as we were getting a bit bored of waiting for groups to form when we played our mage/rogue combo. The 3 dps slots always seemed to fill first, so we figured go healer/tank and we'd never have to wait again. Turns out that my prediction was pretty
