With around 6 weeks to go until WotLK launches, it’s interesting watching how playing behaviour has changed.
The Auction House is a lot emptier than usual and people don’t appear to be raiding as often, although those folk who are doing T6 content won’t appear to be replacing their gear in Northrend until 79-80.
There is a [...]

Well the headline says it all, but I am indeed enjoying playing in the World of Warcraft again.
I’m enjoying levelling up Twigleaf so much that I’m already pre-planning what the next alt I intend to level will be.
Now that Wrath has a release date, November 13th 2008, I have a definite time frame to work [...]

So, patch 3.0.2 has gone into testing on the Public Test Realm (PTR). Patch 3.0.2 is what has become known as the Wrath Pre-Patch. It’s intended to bring those with WoW original and Burning Crusade up to the baseline of Wrath content.
Basically, any changes that affect everyone, regardless of if they own Wrath of the [...]

… of Simon and MMOs.
I’m actually in a strange place right now as I haven’t really been playing anything all that much over these last few days, bitting and bobbing with Guild Wars, Maple Story and even popping into WoW now and then.
During my last foray into WoW I left the guild I was in [...]

I’m still on my WoW sabbatical, peering in now and then solely to help boost Joanne, I can’t see myself going back to WoW regularly until Wrath of the Lich King releases now.
Instead of the MMO behemoth that is WoW, I’ve been playing Guild Wars and, rather bizarrely, Maple Story.
Maple Story is an odd game, [...]

Well, I wasn’t expecting this until Blizzcon but Blizzard have released the Wrath trailer at the Games Convention in Leipzig.
You can view it in HD at the Wrath site HERE or watch the embedded YouTube vid below.
Overall, I think it’s a great teaser, introducing Arthas to a perhaps unfamiliar audience is going to be hard [...]

“World of Warcraft Programming” arrived today and based upon a short flick through it looks very comprehensive.
At 1022 pages including index it goes into some pretty good detail, which should hopefully mean I can get a good grasp on writing add-ons before Wrath of the Lich King comes out.
As you’ve probably guessed from the title, [...]

So, Wrath of the Lich King is being iterated over VERY quickly with new builds going up every few days it seems. So it seems likely Blizzard are on target for a mid-October-ish launch.
With that in mind I’ve been pondering what Alt to focus on to level to 70 before WotLK hits. I’ve had a [...]
And so the Wrath of the Lich King beta is ready to go with Blizzard officially lifting the NDA. All the usual candidates are revealing a lot of new information so I thought I’d take the time to talk about my thoughts on Wrath, based on what I’ve seen so far anyway.
First off, I’m VERY [...]
