This was bound to happen…
Bad things tend to happen when Steptoe and me try to get creative. [...]
And thus TBC Ends, both in a Bang and in a Whimper
As most of you will have seen already, Kil’Jaeden is down, and the PvE content of the Burning Crusade is now complete.
Two things strike me, first, it was SK Gaming who got the world first, putting an end to 25 months of Nihilum dominance. Congratulations.
Raiding and the Patrouille des Glaciers
From last Wednesday to Sunday, the Swiss canton Wallis was host to the biannual Ski-touring competition Patrouille des Glaciers. This is pretty much one of the biggest races in Ski-Touring, an otherwise not very widely-known sport combining running, mountain climbing and skiing.
Joining the Bartle Test Bandwagon
Since the test in its latest form is all the rage, I thought it would be interesting to see how I score these days on Dr. Bartle’s revised test.
Guild Forums, First Look at phpBB3
The guild website I’m hosting hasn’t had a proper template refresh for over a year now, and revamping that one is next on my todo list. I am running it under the phpBB Plus package based on phpBB2. In the meantime, phpBB3 has been released, and it has a couple of very interesting features making it worth sandboxing for a while.
Back to the Roots
[...]The Doomhammer guild I had joined with Steptoe last fall after PCTing out of Ghostlands looks like a bloody alt reservoir, and I haven’t really been all that active on that server, meaning I don’t know anyone. Leveling on Ghostlands before getting the hell out of dodge did have an advantage, there were plenty of people I had run with throughout the long process so beyond my guild, there was a loose social network I could call upon.
While I Wasn’t Looking, Guild Drama or Something
I’m currently still in low-playing-time mode, and whenever I actually squeeze some time to log on, I play on the shaman. Which I never got around to joining my current horde guild, initially because no officer was on when I PCTed her onto Doomhammer, and later because I didn’t really bother looking for anyone with [...]
Some Thoughts on Guild Management
A couple of weeks back, the Guild Master appointed me to an officer role, on what seemed a bit like a whim. “Because you’re helpful” was her reason, and while I couldn’t help being flattered, in practice I only served as a sort of social officer or something. While this guild advertises itself as social [...]
Guild Applications, Part Two
Sometimes I just get a good laugh out of these. Comedy gold:
What is your raiding experience?
my raiding experience is that i know my place in the raid i know what my jobb is and do what i commanded to do =)
What Raiding instances are you attuned to?
yes

Closing the 2007 Welfare Epics Debate with a Look at PvE
As you will have noticed, I’ve had a couple of things to say on the whole PvP loot distribution system and its perception by the playerbase.
From the other side of the issue, Rohan has been using about as much virtual ink over the matter pointing out the flaws of the arena rewards system and why [...]
Guild Applications: How to Make it Harder On Yourself
I had to laugh at a recent guild application, which reminded me of some funny ones we’d get in my old pre-TBC guild which I would routinely scan and respond to on the web site (I was more or less informally the guild’s PR officer at that time).
So here’s a little list of things to [...]
