Last night, shortly before I logged, I sent Talons, one of my alts, to the Auction House in Ironforge to get a Dream Shard: I needed four to enchant a new weapon for Falken, my Rogue, and only had three in the bank. I verified (even over Skype to two friends) that my buyout bid…

A New Pet Peeve
Would someone please forward me the memo on abbreviations, because I seem to have missed it. Specifically, I’m talking about the one where the first word’s abbreviation is two letters rather than one. Need some examples? Since when did Prayer of Healing and Prayer of Mending become ProH and ProM? I’m seeing this increasingly at…
Is WoW Losing Its Hold?
One of my favorite bloggers, The Game Dame, wrote the other day wondering whether Big Red Kitty had actually left WoW. Interesting this should come up at this point in time. While I miss Daniel blogging as BRK, I’m enjoying his new effort, Brain Needed Space. However, I’m finding mine does too, lately. While my…
“You have aggro”: 3 words I hate in WoW
If you don’t read Jessika the Tank, who fancies herself “Pretty in Plate” (and who am I to disagree??), you should. She got on her soapbox today, and I am going to join her there. And oh-by-the-way, the three words are not, “You have aggro.” Jess addressed three all-too-common words we see in WoW, her…
Initial Reactions to 3.1
Yes, Virginia, there was a patch on Tuesday. And hotifxes on Wednesday. And probably more in coming days and weeks. I have it on good authority that Heroic Ulduar is a bitch-and-a-half, and needs to be trimmed down to no more than a bitch-and-a-quarter. Dual-Spec: Smooth as Silk So Tuesday, once I finally got in,…
5 “Go-To” Resources for WoW Healers
This article is Day 2 of 31 Days to Building a Better Blog. Because you’re reading this, chances are fairly good you play a healer class in WoW, or know a healer who could use some guidance. We all know there are scores of WoW blogs (hundreds, even), and of those, a high number…
The Week (Or So) That Was
Sometime over the past weekend, I realized I haven’t done much in the way of updating readers on the progress my WoW characters are making, short of the WoW Armory/Latest Achievements widget in the sidebars. I know it’s formulaic, but I want to try summing up the previous week’s gaming on Mondays. Some of these…
So Long, BRK, and Thanks for Leading the Way
In quite a poignant article today, Big Red Kitty (known to all as BRK) announced his departure from World of Warcraft and blogging. @temerityjanebroke the news first, and I knew immediately this wasn’t an April Fool joke. To say BRK will be missed in the WoW blogging scene would be like saying the moon would…
BEWARE: WoW Account Phishing Scam
Thanks to Anna at Too Many Annas for the heads up on this scam. This particular one appears to be fairly sophisticated, as documented extensively at World of Snarkcraft and Blessing of Kings. The details provided at World of Snarkcraft, especially, are cautionary: The email address used was one used ONLY by the blog for…
“PROgression, Not REgression!”
“Progression, NOT regression!” That’s the mantra of our Raid Leader, but since we first did a 25-man kill of Kel’Thuzad we’ve had a difficult time actually progressing. Malygos 10-man has frustrated us no end (although that frustration did end for 10 people while I was in California earlier this month); 25-man Maly is still a…
