If you play WoW, and I know at least some of you do, you might have been a little thrown off with announcment that Player Vs Player will be redefined when the expansion comes out. What exactly does that mean? Over the last few patches, there have been drastic changes in the PvP battlegrounds system. Everything from nerfing certain class equipment to introducing cross server battlegounds. PvP has always remained a focus for Blizzard, which has made a small fortune off World of Warcraft. It...

So, I have returned to the World of Warcraft. It is not like I didn't try to find a alternative to this game. I even went back to Final Fantasy XI, partially because I found that most of my old friends from that game were there, and partially to try it on the 360. 1. Final Fantasy XI and the Now: Let's be honest. As soon as I logged on, I knew that the game was still in trouble. Regardless of the bits and pieces of information on the upcoming expansion pack, going back was...dr...

How do you tell someone that you love that it is over? Do they get suspicious if you stop paying attention to them, even neglecting them? Well, I think WoW knows that I am done. It is more complicated than that, and in this case, it really is "It's not you it's me". While we had some fun, some laughs, sometimes we cried. You helped me through some stuff, and that time we spent is precious. I'm not sure I will be able to ever repay you for all the time we spent together. But I've...

I got off my shift yesterday with only one thing on my mind: playing some World of Warcraft. It is my hobby. Some people may scoff at that, considering that I deal with computers and games every day of my life. If that is the case, how could I go home and sit in front of the computer and play for five or six hours? Easy. It is an addiction, pure and simple. I have logged in more hours than I care to count, fully enjoying the new patches and discovering the fun of playing different classes...

So, everyone who plays World of Warcraft held their breaths when Blizzard announced that they would be showing the new expansion for the wildly popular MMORPG. Instead of displaying it somewhere the consumer could get their hands on it, they showed it at their convention event, Blizzcon. Friday, Oct 29th, the people at the event got to play hands on the lower grinding areas of the newest race to enter the frey, the Blood Elves. Interestingly enough, a lot of people got a advanced look a...

So, I left my lvl 60 Priest to fend for her own a couple of weeks ago and started a rogue on a different server. First off, because the constraints of work would prevent me from raiding with my guild in MC and BWL, I couldn't make it for these raids, and I am at that point where raiding for equipment becomes more and more important. I joined the Dark Iron server for two reasons: one, my roomate whined at me to join so he would have a friend that he knew online for that server, which is fa...

As I approach lvl 60, and as I have posted in my other WoW post, the need for better and better equipment becomes greater and greater. One guild in particular has been brought to my attention time and time again: Soverign. Sov is one of those ultra guilds that spend almost every night doing the high lvl instances and getting the loot. Seeing them decked out makes me glad that I am a Alliance instead of Horde. I have even been contacted in game about joining. It seems that Priests are al...

I was in a party in on of the higher level instances, in this case, Dire Maul, when a Staff of the Ogre Magi dropped. As a priest, I was very intent on getting it. For that matter, it was the reason that I went through the hell of Dire Maul. THe rules for loot was simple, pass on everything and then roll for Blues and sets. Then, the rogue in the party looted it and left the group. I was a little mad. In the race to be the greatest in World of Warcraft, a piece of equipment that drops li...

So, on the server of Dragonmaw, I have hit 56 with my NE priest. Reflecting back on some of the gaming highlights and lows of playing, I thought I would mention a few. I love that this game allows people to level cap, but some of the people playing shouldn't be that high. I have gotten into some parties where there is just no way for our party to survive, because for some, this is the first MMORPG they have played. With so many casual gamers, it makes it hard to get into a good group that ...

Well, it has been almost two weeks sice I updated..being a corporate whore in a large company doesn't do much for life except make it a huge thing revolving around work. But, on the plus side, I know get to post my thoughts about WoW. First off, I spent a entire weekend playing it with very little sleep. I have to say that the one thing that has entertained me a lot is the soloability at the early lvls. I myself play on Kal Jadein (?) and have had a great time. Anyone wanting tgo send ...
