Master Blogging and Altitis Birthsday
So after a significant slowdown to my posting activities, this is my 300th post on Altitis. Incidentally, the blog is also 1 year (and 10 days) old now.
Toon Midlife Crisis: Time for Some Space Opera
Despite the changes brought by patch 2.3, I’m still feeling the full force of the level 40-50 slowdown. This has always been the range where my motivation drops, and the only thing which has changed is that where previously it hit around 42-43, it now happens at 46-47.
The Mage dings 40
An old milestone reached, my latest pet belf mage dinged 40 and promptly got her hawkstrider.
State of Altitis: May 2008 Edition
After toying around with another Shaman a month ago, I moved around again, and joined up with my pre-TBC GM (and former healadin role-model) on a PvP server.
Reader Question: Best Moments in WoW?
One of our regular readers would like to continue verifying how deep the often stark contrast between my favourite hardcore blogging antagonist Stop and me is running, and wrote us both asking to define our best moment in WoW
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 [...]

Old habits die hard - and a toast to the New Year
My mage picked up herbing and alchemy, just because I hadn’t been brewing potions for ages. The other day, I spent some time getting my alchemy skill up using all these herbs I had gathered.
And then I went out to level, and, as I would have done in 2005 or 2006, quaffed a troll’s blood [...]
Levelling Speed
I’ve been spending a bit of my time levelling my little latest mage a bit more, she’s 24 now. And just thinking back to the last time I went through Southern Barrens with my pallie strikes me as utterly ridiculous. The mage is tearing through enemies like a hot knife through butter, whereas even at [...]
Melee Hunters: an Aberration due to poor Class Design?
I was leveling my mage in Southern Barrens a bit last night, and there, right before my horrified eyes, I had another sample of that sorry excuse for a huntard, the sadly still-too-common Melee Hunter.
Now while I have a whole complement of hunters spread across 5 servers (I had to check) all sitting around level [...]
