As you should know by now…I mean really, you should…Azeroth is soon to be changed forever with the ‘rebirth’ of Deathwing causing the Cataclysm. It would be remiss of us ‘old schoolers’ if we let the current continents fade into memory. It is now everyone’s job to preserve Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms as they are [...]
What blog even vaguely related to World of Warcraft would be complete without a post (or million) on Cataclysm? None is the answer. So here are my first impressions on the various eye-popping revelations from Blizzcon Day One. Let’s start with what is probably the most talked about point; new races. New Races For the [...]
Or Kaeden gets bored wanding… Gratz all. Yogg-Saron…here we come.

I am Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms. I am Loremaster of Outlands. I am Loremaster of Northrend. Why then, am I over 100 quests short of Loremaster of Kalimdor?! Honestly, it’s a number that is just about daunting enough to make me not want to bother…but low enough to make me think I should and it [...]
I freely admit to being both a collector and an achievement whore. Not to the point where it is an obsession – there are some I just won’t do. But pets (and mounts, but I’ll save that for a later date) I adore and I do put SOME time and effort into collecting them. The [...]
Well, patch 3.2 is live and in the mad rush to experience the new instance and raids one wonders if anyone is taking the time to actually see if they’re enjoying it. GANK Inc made our first attempts at the 10-man instance (Trial of the Crusader) last night with almost no preparation. Did we enjoy [...]
Yes, it seems Patch 3.2 will be rolled out TODAY. So prepare for a whole load of heartache, as usual. Highlights: New craftable/transmutable yada yada epic gems Emblems of Conquest from everywhere New Dungoens and raids New Achievements New Druid forms …and a whole lot more… WoW.com has a brilliant guide to 3.2 here, check [...]

We didn’t have the right make up or DPS for continuing our usual 10-man Ulduar last night. With Mimiron and Thorim to do on the Keepers a wipefest was not appealing. So why not take the 10 we DO have, mount up on Demolishers and go take down Flame Leviathan on 25-man? And so we [...]
“…the act you’ve known for all these years…” A most fortuitous but much-desired find this morning! Isn’t she beautiful?
Blizzard’s recent Q&A regarding Warlocks (back at the start of July) raised some interesting questions about aesthetics. I haven’t gotten round to addressing this particular subject until now, but here we go. First, a bit of background… Most discussion surrounding Warlocks as we approach a patch revolves around DPS, nerfs and “what are they going [...]
I’m not one for complaining about bosses. Having said that I do get frustrated at wiping on one particular boss from time to time. But this, I feel, adds to the joy of finally defeating him (or her – nods to Maiden, Freya et al). BUT…and it is a big but…there are certain bosses where [...]
Guild recruitment and raid party make-up – two things I am struggling to get to grips with. I don’t want to invite any old player to the Guild but I know we need more. Not least so I can begin to put together set raid groups. That’s where raid party make-up comes in. What is [...]
Funny how things work out. One minute you’re a happy little soldier in a very large raiding Guild, the next you’re GM of a very small but committed progression Guild. So in this first episode of what I am now going to call Guild Drama I’ll explain how the hell it happened. As I said, [...]
Blizzard has launched its WoW Armory iPhone app and I have to say…outstanding. Called the World of Warcraft Mobile Armory, this thing gives you access to the Armory (whether Americas, EU or Oceanic) in full and in six languages. Log in using your Blizzard account details and you’re good to go. Here are the features [...]
