Thanks to Bashiok, we now have a pretty good idea when Patch 5.2 will be released. His blog post from the 11th said they expected the patch to be released on the 26th of this month. This post will not be going into the many ‘too soon’ posts, or even addressing those who seem to think that Blizz isn’t giving us enough notice of patches ‘these days’, because really, they have very rarely ever given us advanced notice of a patch launch. No, this article is going to be all about how I am preparing for the new patch. Continue reading →
The Warcraft community is all abuzz with news that the Warcraft movie, announced at Blizzcon back in 2006, once again has a director. The movie has had many ups and downs. some of the perceived downs likely resulting from the fact Blizzard announced the movie to the massive audience of World of Warcraft players, which peaked at over 12 million players. Many of the players don’t understand how long it can take to get a movie from the ‘let’s do this’ step to the finished on screen product. Continue reading →

Each expansion has items that are in high demand. Flasks, potions, ores, bars, leather, or other crafting materials are fairly common in demand items on the auction house. Anyone who has looked at the auction house during Mists will be able to tell you some of the higher priced materials are Golden Lotus and Living Steel. When someone wants to play in the auction house to try and make money, they often look to those higher priced items for their profit seeking, but I aim for markets that are not as high yield.

Garrosh Hellscream has had many different faces in the history of Warcraft lore.

This article is my response to posts on WoW Insider by both Matthew Rossi and Anne Stickney with their respective pieces “Hellscream is my Warchief” and “Hellscream is not my Warchief“. Both articles are very well written and very much worth reading. I also recommend looking at the connected piece “Bloody-handed in Dalaran” also by Matthew Rossi, where he looks at the Operation Shieldwall quests from the perspective of his Worgen.
Varian Wrynn is a king who has had many faces in the history of WoW. He was only first seen in the throne room at the start of Wrath of the Lich King, but those who knew where to look could find him on Alcaz Island just off the shore of Dustwallow Marsh in vanilla WoW, unconscious in a prison. Since his appearance, we have seen different sides of him, in game and in additional materials. The Warcraft comic detailed what has happened to him, and explained in decent detail why he had the personality he had for two expansions. I will recommend you check that out for your own research.
