Here we are then, five years down the line (or 15 years for Warcraft) since World of Warcraft was launched by Blizzard. And I’m STILL playing. Why? What is it about WoW that keeps me coming back? What have I learned? When I rolled my first character in 2004, a Night Elf Warrior whose name [...]
GANK Inc versus Val’kyr Twins GANK Inc versus Flame Leviathan (4 Towers)
Or Kaeden gets bored wanding… Gratz all. Yogg-Saron…here we come.
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.

Please feel free to take a look: Coffee versus Flame Leviathan (with 2 Towers up) Coffee versus Razorscale [...]
