Twitter Time: 10 words or less

I’ve been manning the WoW.com official Twitter for the past few nights and having a great time of it. The three nights previous to last, I did some reader-participation art and ended up drawing a tauren rogue and two druids (undead and gnome!). Tonight I thought I’d go a little more literary and had the [...]

Maintenance and Restarts for May 26th

We have a maintenance announcement for Tuesday morning, but it’s a little weird, so bear with me here. First, starting at 1 AM Pacific, the Authentication server will undergo maintenance. That means if you have a battle.net account, you won’t be able to log in. But hey, we can hope this’ll take care of all [...]

Guildwatch: Bad form

The shot above actually takes place after Rigged denied instance-ninja’ing the last two bosses of Naxx… until his guild found out that, according to his achievements, he really had taken their kills earlier that day. Strange how all of a sudden plenty of justifications (Naxx is easy, it was only two bosses, “I was bored”) [...]

Blood Pact: Interview with a PVPer

Welcome Warlocks! Once weekly, Nick Whelan delves into the despicable underbelly of Dalaran to consort with cabalist casters, who help him channel Beelzebub into a fresh Blood Pact.
When I first took over this column, I remember discussing with several people my worries about the content I wouldn’t be able to provide. At my best I’m [...]

…is now recruiting

I’ve been reading the comments from some of our recent posts and realized that there is quite a bit of mismatch between players and guilds. There are casual players in hardcore guilds that find themselves being passed over in content. There are hardcore players in casual guilds that don’t get to move on to things [...]
