Good morrow, my European companions, it’s Wednesday which means only one thing. Yes it’s maintenance time once more.
This week we’re getting yet another patch: 3.1.1a and I’m seriously hoping this will be the end of all of the patch 3.1 chaos. That said, we here in European haven’t had such a bad time of it [...]

While photographing her friends in their Noblegarden finery, Jaxin of Echo Isles noticed that Chezmoi and Tooty had apparently undergone a little facial reconstruction surgery. The black-haired gnome was rockin’ a white, expressionless face, while the red-headed lady had stolen the tattoos and profuse head/eyebrow/ear hair of her night elf sisters. This is more subtle [...]

You won’t get the stats from idols, totems, sigils, or librams that pure classes will get from that slot, but with [...]

We can leave your friends behind. Which is exactly what Firael and Rollack of <Knee Deep in Blood> on Antonidas did during Heigan in Naxx. When eight of their ten raiders wiped on the first dance, the tank and healer decided to see if they could down the boss alone. And sixty-two minutes later, Heigan [...]

Lots of the new stuff in today’s patch 3.1 update will be in your face — the class changes won’t be missable, and the LFG channel will be full of people trying to head into Ulduar (though who knows how far they’ll get). But some of the changes, especially to the user interface, will be [...]

Every Monday Scott Andrews contributes Officers’ Quarters, a column about the ins and outs of guild leadership.
I’ve covered account sharing before. I gave some details about Blizzard’s policies on it and how it could affect your guild. This week, I received an e-mail from someone who found out that an officer of the guild he [...]

Over the past couple of weeks, European players have been receiving plain text emails (like the one above) from Blizzard. I know what you’re thinking … scam alert but for once you’d be wrong. It might not be full of the usual sparkly Blizzard graphics but it’s no less legit – and a quick call [...]

We’re going to cover all the April Fools jokes from around the WoW community tomorrow (after they’re over so we’re sure we don’t miss too many), but I wanted to take a moment to give a PSA about the WoW Instant Messenger add-on.
When you log into the game today, and if you’re updated to the [...]
