Sidetracking to Badlands, a Picture guide
Today was the time when my shaman had to go to Badlands, which for hordies is always a rather long hike.
Unfortunately, when I entered Loch Modan, I realized there’s one thing I hadn’t tried out for ages, so I went to check whether the sneak way up to the airstrip was still accessible.
Long time no playing
I’m sitting home with a cold, though, so between sweating the thing out in my bed I got some playtime. Took the shammie out and got her to level 42.
Damn is the thing fast killing stuff at these levels, especially when I compare it to my memories of the paladin. The only thing which annoys [...]
Altitis changes
I have been alerted by Softthistle that Altitis has been slow loading for a good while, so slow in fact that it’s timing out for her. I’ve started tweaking a few elements which take a lot of loading times, and moving my ever-growing blogroll to it’s own separate page, hoping that this will help alleviate [...]
Massive Feedburner Subscriber Drop: Don’t Panic
Earlier this afternoon I had a slight shock seeing that my subscriptions had dropped by more than 140 from its peak within one night.
Until I realized there simply was no way I could have 2/3rds of my readers unsubbing within 24 hours, the number is simply too high (plus, my latest offensive post was months [...]
Random thoughts on Welfare and Patch 2.4
With reliable predictability, the 2.4 test patch notes brought a new round of QQing on the topic of loot distribution.
The debate has, however, not evolved at all since last time, and the same cheap shots get thrown around. As usual, of course, it’s a tiny but vocal fringe of hardcore PvE players doing all the [...]
Blog Azeroth Shared Topic: How did you come up with your Character Names?
I’ve left the first couple of Blog Azeroth shared topics slide by since I didn’t have anything worth sharing, but I’ll hop on this particular bandwagon
So character names. Going back to my teens when I was playing pen & paper RPGs (yes, my nerd roots are that deep), names which sounded more or [...]
Shaman dings 40
Wolfdancer, my shammie, dinged 40 this weekend. I have to say, looking back on this journey, that the changes brought by patch 2.3 really do make a big difference in leveling a toon in this range. Whereas my previous playthroughs seemed quite drawn out, in particular the STV part, the levels just flew by this [...]
Broken Toys on Pierce vs Deboneville Lawsuit
For people living on the moon, Broken Toys is the blog of one of the earliest MMOG commentators out there, Scott Jennings (formerly known as Lum the Mad). He has recently posted and reported about the latest lawsuit in the ever-growing charade surrounding IGE’s past and present activities. It appears that the sleazier fringes of [...]

Blessing of Kings on Raids
Regular readers will remember I’ve often found myself in arguments with Blessing of King’s Rohan, even quite vehemently so, mainly on topics where two cultures clash, like raiders and pvpers, or casual-dedicated-hardcore players.
It is however worth noting that Rohan isn’t just one of the leading experts on paladins in PvE, he is also one of [...]
Offline game: Where am I?
As the title says - I mentioned I was traveling before, and I took pictures of the view from the office building I am learning to teach in:
