Can we fix it? YES WE CAN!

My little LoL from WoW today:

MANA MANA!

Ok, so I can't take the credit for finding this one (Thx Arri!) but it's a scream anyway :)

You Little Stinker!

Yes! I did it!!! I got my very own Reeking Pet Carrier - the reward for completing Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart!

Sad, I know, but I finally got Sinister Squashling from HH today, and had a lovely little Gnome craft a Lifelike Mechanical Toad for me to top out the 50.

Done mostly with dropped, quested and vendor-bought pets, I'm might proud of myself. I didn't spend thousands at the AH, nor did I spend RL cash on eBay for pet codes, or hours and hours farming for rare dropped pets.

My advice to you if you want this little bloke is to check out http://www.warcraftpets.com/. This site has everything you need to know about in-game pets on there.

Hallows End Fun

Yes, Hallows End is in full swing, and I've been right there in the thick of it!

Between daily ass-whoopings for the Headless Horseman, and hourly Trick-or-Treating, I've managed to take a few screenshots, grind some rep, and even gain a few extra Achievements along the way.
Oh yeah! I've also got a new mini-pet! A Sprite Darter Egg. I'm working on Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart at the moment, and him plus my new Ancona Chicken (thx Pdx ;)) means I'm well on my way to getting my Reeking Pet Carrier!

So, make sure you enjoy the rest of your Hallows End - the celebrations close at the end of the month!

Echoes of Doom

Yes, the WotLK pre-release patch is finally here!

I've spent the afternoon shopping for mounts and pets, /cowering, getting a haircut and new earrings, and playing with my new talents!

Expect to see more posts from me as I gain achievements and boast about them, aswell as discovering new stuff in-game.

One thing I found kind of confusing (yep, I'm dense), is the new setup for spell bonus damage and healing. But I quickly set myself straight with this great article from WoWInsider.

OH! And in all the hype, don't forget Hallows End is starting this Saturday! This site has an awesome guide to all this years Hallows End content.

Cheers,
Ambassador Helmaree

Bejeweled The new WoW within WoW?

Bejeweled the new addon by Popcap games! If you've ever played the Bejeweled game online, or downloaded it from POPCAP games, you know it can be pretty addictive (like WoW) now Popcap games bring us a internal version for wow Just dump it in your World of Warcraft Addons folder and away you go! Best of all its FREE!



Now someone told me about this I can't remember quite who, But I thought I'd share it with Ya'all here. BUT! Be forewarned! It can be quite addictive, I found myself the other day logging into wow to play this game and lo and behold! an hour later I had not moved from the auction house, I was sitting there playing the little game!


Let me tell you about some of the nifty features They've Incorporated into the game! Yes there is some fun ones, First they have two diff rent game modes first is a timed one Now you can start a timed game anywhere any time but the coolest feature is this: Ever flown from Darnassus to Tanaris? Well now you've got something to do on the flight! The game automatically launches and starts a timer that will go from take off too landing going for a Points Per second Score! Yes! much fun!


The second mode is the good old classic mode, this is one where there is no timer, you just keep on going till you run out of moves and can no longer continue! Aside from that there is more! Bejeweled Is now a Skill! and will tell your guild when you move up from apprentice, through artisan etc. What a great system! also has little achievements! Including (and my favourite) Kill a critter while playing bejeweled!



It also receives High scores from other players in your guild and friends list who are online at the same time as you( Unfortunately It doesn't match up previous high scores into the list just ones that are received while your online) Well I think I've rambled on enough about this little addon mini game for our World of Bejeweledcraft! (Heh, did you see that) If you wanna try it follow this link! BEJWELED DOWNLOAD PAGE.


Happy Hunting Everyone!

Trivia...? Norly!!

Yes, it's true. CENTURION is now holding a weekly in-game Trivia Night!

Now that Brewfest is over ( QQ ), I've come up with a perfect excuse to sit back with your new Warcraft Stein, have a few brews, and prove to your fellow guildies how much you know about mindless trivia.

So, mark it on your calendar, and stock up on pretzels. Every Monday night at 8PM ST (that's Server Time for you n00bs) Trivia will begin!

Have You Been drinking the seawater?




FAIL

I have finally found out what causes all the random lag on WoW.

It's the Fail Chicken!!
My apologies to the random website I stole this image from, I can't remember where you are and can't find you again using Google :( If I stole it from you, please let me know so I can give you credit for not suing me!

LAZY!

Ok, so I've been really lazy. I haven't posted on here in ages, and I've been just as lazy in-game aswell.

With Blizzard finally, finally announcing a release date for WotLK, I've started to be more pro-active in my playing again :)

So, I'll also try and get into blogging again... I really will, I promise!!

WoW Steins - Get me one-a dese!

Blizzard has released more game related merchandise, this time a WoW-themed beer stein.

They are uber-cool. The main cylinder of the stein shows various characters, and the handle is an axe. The steins come in Alliance and Horde versions.

So next time you're in a long Kara raid, fill your WoW stein with the beverage of your choice and make it a bit more interesting!

This chap installs PC rigs for a living, according to the Kotaku article, and decided to test out a new setup of twenty-seven 67" monitors by playing WoW and Bioshock.

Horde raids Ironforge!



In order to celebrate Grumps dinging level 70, we decided to have a bit of a celebration in Stormwind. Whilst acquiring the grog from Stormwind, there were a few people on trade talking about Ironforge being raided. Although skeptical, I decided to head off there anyways. Upon arrival, I was quite shocked to find several horde corpses in front of the auction house! Is it true if one faction wipes the opposing faction's city, everyone has to start their characters again? Or is this a crazy rumour?

Critology Addon Review

I had been thinking for a while about looking for an addon to keep track of my crits and average damage for a while, but hadn't made the time to do it, until I head about Critology on The Instance (Episode #111). It sounded like just what I wanted, so I put it on straight away.

It's a tiny little addon, packed with some great features. Also, it uses less than 150Kb of memory to run!

You can choose to record loads of info, which you can also add to the tooltip for that spell/attack, such as:
- Average Crit
- Average Hit
- Crit Chance
- Crits
- Hits
- Mob Name
- Date & Time

Põckëtz pwning Bobadin in a duel
You can notify your party or group each time you record a new crit, and the notification options are also customisable - allowing you to be notified on new hits &/or crits, as well as toggling the graphical notification of new damage/heal record breakers.

You can even set it to record a 'keepsake' of your crits in the form of a screenshot!

Options are changed through the new Interface > Addons tab in-game.

Working for both damage and heals (although it seems to get confused by potions), this is a great way to keep a track on your progress.

Download it now from WoW Interface.

Taverncast 36 released

To anyone who listens to the ex-WoW podcast Taverncast, episode 36 has been released.

If you haven't listened to Taverncast, you should give it a go. It isn't to everyone's taste, but I find it to be the best podcast ever.

No unnecessary superlatives there.

Pink Elephants. No - Seriously!


That's right folks! You've seen it here! Come to Allerian Stronghold, and see the Pink Elekks!

Apparently a reference to a sequence in the Dumbo movie, where Dumbo and Timothy Mouse accidentaly become drunk and begin hallucinating and seeing pink elephants. You too can now experience this terrifying drunken phenomenon!

If someone has recently completed the quest 'The Final Code', there is a barrel of wine placed outside one of the buildings opposite the inn, which will give you 5 free bottles of booze. Three drinks of this or one 'extremely potent' alcoholic drink will allow you to see the Pink Elekks.


Just don't forget to have your picture taken!

WotLK Preview: Stormwind Harbour

SPOILER CAUTION! You are about to view footage from the WotLK Beta now being tested.

Please be careful when viewing WotLK movies on YouTube: some offer 'free Beta keys' - these people are full of crap, and just want to steal your lootz! If you want to sign up for a Beta key, you need to visit the World of Warcraft website and sign-in to your account.



Also, check out the new Emotes!

Servers + Fail = Chaos on Onyxia

Last night all the servers crapped out big time, so what is there do to when you get booted from your main? Find a server that still works and roll a n00b!

So that's what a helluva lot of people did. The only server Remmieh, Grumps, Brocy & myself could find working was Onyxia! I rolled a spunky little Priest called Hamsterdied, and set off looking for trouble!

...And we found it, in Goldshire in the form of a number of Lvl 70 and low-lvl Horde!



Grumps was clever enough to video the whole event, so hopefully he will have that up soon :D

Exploring Northrend

With the opening of the Wowhead: Wrath of the Lich King site last week, gamers now have access to a huge amount of information about what we will see in the upcoming Expansion!

I thought I'd start introducing us to the new zones in Northrend one by one, giving a little info on the types of mobs, quests and scenery you'll encounter when you first visit Northrend, starting with the first zone you will encounter, and then moving through each zone by level rating.

First, I'd like to show you the new areas in Azeroth which will be added in WotLK. In the Eastern Kingdoms, we will gain a lvl 55 - 58 Contested area called Ebon Hold. This will be the Death Knight class starting zone. From the looks of the map, Tyr's Hand in the Eastern Plaguelands will be the area where this zone begins.

As some of you may have noticed, construction has started in Stormwind between The Park and Cathedral Square for the road to Stormwind Harbor. From here, we will be able to travel to Northrend. There is also talk that the boat from Auberdine will bypass Menethil Harbor and come to SW instead.

Upon reaching Northrend - possibly into a harbor at Valiance Keep - players lvl 68 to 72 will have two areas to choose from to begin questing. These are Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord.

To quote from the WoW: WotLK website: "The sprawling Borean Tundra lies at the far southwestern tip of Northrend, the icy continent also known as the roof of the world. In recent months the Horde has established a dominant presence here as the young and daringly aggressive Garrosh Hellscream has founded the rugged orc fortress of Warsong Hold."

New and frightening beasts roam this zone, as well as some familiar foe. Expect to encounter those slimy Naga, fearful Gorlocs and Unliving Swine!

"The Howling Fjord sits high above the Great Sea on the southeastern tip of Northrend. It is said that in ancient times the vrykul, a race of half-giant warriors, inhabited the land, founding a vast and prosperous civilization. Then one day, without warning or explanation, the vrykul vanished, leaving behind only deserted villages and abandoned temples.

Now the Alliance and Horde have come to confront the malefic Lich King and put an end to the Scourge. The Alliance has established a staging area in the settlement of Valgarde, but their presence seems to have sparked off an unforeseen event: the return of the vrykul. These formidable warriors have begun attacking Horde and Alliance settlements, and many of the vrykul are pouring out of the fortress of Utgarde Keep, not far from Valgarde."

Here in Howling Fjord, you will battle the likes of Dragonflayers, Deathless Watchers, Fearless Horrors and other assorted Scourge, all the while avoiding the wandering Storm Giants' wrath!

Well, I hope that's been enough to whet your appetite - I'll bring you more screenshots, bestiary information, quests and zone info as I read my way through it all!

Elite Tauren Chieftain play Shattrath


As usual I was meandering about Shattrath just before logging out when the following announcement was made:
"TAUREN CHIEFTAINS! Playing LIVE, in the WORLD'S END TAVERN! Be there, at the top of the hour! Banished from Shattrath? SNEAK BACK IN!"
I don't know much about the ETC, so I was curious to see what the big deal was about. The performance was alright with the band performing their song "Power of the Horde". I thought the name "Sig Nicious" was quite amusing. The SS isn't the best, but enjoy anyways!

Rem

Edit: They are playing every hour (on the hour) at the moment, and also in the BRD Bar every night at 8PM Server Time!

Zomg Breaking News

Did you see this?

Blizzard is making the rolling restarts later on Oceanic relams, so they dont pwn our hi-pop times.

I haven't seen this being done before.

Thank you Blizz.

WoW: WotLK - Achievements

Recently announced by Blizzard is the inclusion of achievements in the upcoming expansion to WoW, Wrath of the Lich King. These achievements will be applied retroactively, I.e. they will not exclusively apply to WotLK content. They are also expandable, so more achievements will probably be added with each content patch.

Quickly skimming the article from Blizzard it can be seen that the initial achievements that will come with the new expansion will be fairly comprehensive - "World of Warcraft's achievements system will launch with more than 500 individual achievements...from the purely whimsical to the truly epic"

Check out the article from Blizzard here.

Patch 2.4.3 is LIVE!

So of course the first thing I did when I logged in this morning - and I got straight on too, having downloaded the patch last night during maintenance - was get Bellor her mount!

I just couldn't decide whether to stick with the lock mount, or get a racial mount.... so I got both!




I also took the liberty of getting the new patterns available from Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris for [Dress Shoes], [Haliscan Jacket] and [Haliscan Pantaloons]. Screenshot will be forthcoming :)
Edit: Here's Clothybanker in his new threads!


Now all I need to do is H Old Hillsbrad to get Helmaree [Don Carlos' Famous Hat] and I'm set! lol

July 14, 2008

Mrrrlllgggrrggll!!!!

Yes! It's finally happened! UK site Play.com will release the first talking plush Murloc toy at the end of September!

Unfortunately, they don't deliver all of their products outside of the UK - including, so it seems, the Murloc toy :(

So, looks like - as with all cool merchandise - we'll have to wait and pay stupid prices for it. Sigh.

I can't take all the credit for this find - in fact I didn't have a clue about it until I listened to The Instance #113 this morning. GJ guys ;)

In other news, after many changes to be made to the talent tree in the upcoming WotLK were discussed openly with participants of the Worldwide Invitational, our friends at wowhead finally released an updated Talent Calculator! While it's not yet complete, you can still take a gander at the changes and additions for most classes. I had a look, and I must say I am not impressed as yet.

Edit (22/07/08): Grumps recently let us know that the Talent Calculator is now available on the WoW website! "Check out the WotLK Talent Trees out on the WoW website now! Find them here.
Find the death knight talent tree on that page, or directly here."


And finally, before this starts to look too much like every other WoW blog on the internet this week, Bellor has capped out her Enchanting! It cost me a packet in Illusion Dust, but she finally got there!

Mizzdevious Hit lvl 70

Well I finally did it, I have my very own lvl 70 lol,
after a week of non stop questing I went from lvl 65 to 70.
Of course I had the help of some Guild members too.

I also managed to grind up my Leather working, which is now at 375,
So I would like to say thank you to Delonorius who gave me at least 50 Primal earth,
I would also like to thank Helm and Brocy for doing some quests with me which helped me get the last of the money I needed to grind my leather working.

Now that I'm lvl 70 the first things I'm doing are focusing on my PvP gear and my first Epic's I can make through leatherworking. So if anyone wants to do some BG's I'm keen to come along :)

Well I don't so much have any pictures to show atm I do how ever have this ...








Lol thank you Helm for putting the link to the site for these Sigs on the Guild forums.
well bye for now guys thanks for reading.

Rawr!

Well, we've been hard at work levelling Taliaise and Esperance, and I finally got both water and kitty forms for Esperance!


Although I didn't have much luck with asking the Moonglade residents where the two halves of the pendant were, I did have more luck with my good pal wowhead, where some nice user had linked maps with each of the fragment locations on them! One for Darkshore and one for Westfall.

W00T! Sewing and Killing

Bellor has finally made it to lvl 35, and after an epic attempt (and lots of gold!), she has sewn and sold her way to lvl 300 Tailoring!

I only went cloth farming with Helmaree 3 times, being for Mageweave, Runecloth and Felcloth.

Mageweave: I farmed the top two levels of the big troll temple in The Hinterlands, Jintha'Alor. The drop rate was very good, and I was able to get about 8 stacks in under an hour. Also a few greens, a bit of cash, and half a bag of vendor trash, not to mention some handy potions for my alts!

Runecloth: I just tooled around Eastern Plaguelands for this stuff... All the humanoids there have a pretty good drop rate, but my favorite was killing the Scarlet Elite's at Tyr's Hand. Not only were they a lot more fun to kill, but they also dropped a BoE World Epic for me! [Hurricane]

Felcloth: Everyone just LOVES farming this stuff... NOT! But I have a fairly painless system that will get you 10 - 12 pieces in just under an hour. I go to the Legashi Encampment in Azshara. There are three camps in the area, and even if you you drop each camp fast, the first one should have respawned by the time you get back. Drop rate is good, and I got a few greens and potions as well. Plus, you guessed it... I got another BoE. A Rare this time! [Blade of the Titans]

Oh, and just to show off... While I was flying around on Helmaree collecting patterns, I thought I'd go and kill some Winterfall furblogs behind Everlook, and aside from a few stacks of Runecloth, I also scored another Rare BoE! [Sapphiron's Scale Boots]

Well, enough bragging for now, I'm off to lvl Bellor's enchanting!

The End Draws Near

Tomorrow is the last day of the Midsummer Fire Festival - your last chance to purchase rewards with your Burning Blossoms, honor the flame of your favorite city, and desecrate the Horde bonfires one last time!

The day will be concluded with a spectacular display by the Goblins of Undermine, where the sky itself will be set alight! So get yourself dressed up in all your Festival gear, take up a mug, and raise a toast to the season as the sky above explodes into a wondrous display of multicolored fireworks!

I finally got a Captured Flame today, after making a final trek to some more bonfires, finishing my journey at Feathermoon Stronghold in Feralas.


And so one of my favorite in-game events for the year draws to a close. The next Annual event will be the Harvest Festival, to be held from Sept 8 to 13. My next favorite event will follow closely behind, beginning on Sept 20 and running until Oct 4. So get your liver ready for BREWFEST!!

July 2, 2008

Now I'm Getting Crabby!

Bellor as a Crab!
But seriously... I'm busting at the seams since reading the PTR Notes! Mounts at lvl 30! Finally, Blizzard have given me a good reason to play my alts. There's nothing that sucks more than walking everywhere, especially once you get used to Epic Flyer bliss.

In other news, Gangstarter and Bellor got to get some Gnomeregan quests completed yesterday (Thanks Rem!), and Bellor dinged to lvl 33! Which meant she could finally put on her Mantle of Doan and Robe of Doan. She looks rather spunky now, don't you think?!

June 30, 2008

I got my boots!

I logged Helm on this morning to do the Midsummer dailys, and hit 201 Burning Blossoms! I finally, finally have my Sandals of Summer! Unfortunately, with only 4 days of the Festival left, I won't be able to collect 99 more blossoms in time to get the Mantle of the Fire Festival :(
Here I am showing off my Midsummer goodies in IF.


Helmaree showing off! In other news Bellor (my warlock) started her tour of Azeroth to collect her own Burning Blossoms and some very sweet xp! She went from lvl 29 to lvl 31, so there's hope for her yet!
I'm hoping to get her to lvl 35 (with the help of some more bonfire visits) so that she can train Artisan Enchanting and Tailoring. She's been stuck at 225 for what seems to be forever! Here's a screenie of Bellor visiting the bonfire in Undercity.

1st post from mizz

So was anyone going to tell me how annoying the Fire Festival torch throwing and catching was going to be? I'm sure I spent a good 40mins just trying to complete the quests.
anyways I did it! and now i have my juggling torches very cool!...

In other news I got my leather working up to 365 and now I'm stuck! on top of that I'm only 10points off being able to make my own epic's! thats quite depressing ain't it.

Well heres a pic of Mizzdevious at lvl 65. Enjoy...



Ciao for now xx

Invasion Complete!


Today I captured the final 2 flames from Undercity and Silvermoon City, and recieved my Crown of the Fire Festival!


Also, I found a great guide to the Midsummer Fire Festival. It has every piece of information you might want about the Festival and then some!

CENTURION Invades Horde Capitals

Wednesday evening saw Brocy, Drawind and myself journey through Mulgore and scale the heights of Thunder Bluff to steal their flame away! And we succeeded! But forgot to take a screen shot. :(

Yesterday, Brocy and myself laid siege to Orgrimmar, and came away with their flame amid the thwarted attempts of a couple of would-be Horde assassins!


Fear us Horde scum! For we are determined and sneaky! Now, to journey to Silvermoon City and Undercity to complete our work...

Just Showing Off

Here are a couple screenies of my new stuff from the Midsummer Fire Festival. I'm still doing the dailys, hoping to rack up another 200 burning blossoms before the end of the week for the shoes!

June 23, 2008

I've Been Everywhere, Man!

Well, I spent most of yesterday touring all of Azeroth and Outland in search of Burning Blossoms! Below is a slideshow of just some of the places I visited.

In total, I visited 60 different bonfires - some Horde and some Alliance - to collect blossoms. And what did I choose?

The Brazier of Dancing Flames and Vestment of Summer!

I'm going back on later to pick up the last few bonfires, do the Midsummer dailys, and get me those Dancing Shoes!

June 21, 2008

Burning Love

The Midsummer Fire Festival has to be my favorite in-game event of the whole year!



And this year they've re-vamped it, with new quests (including dailys!) , a new boss challenge for lvl 70 players, and some new vendor rewards!



So, I'll be spending the next week trying to rack up 350 Burning Blossoms to buy a Brazier of Dancing Flames :O

Why you don't PuG KZ

Brocy logged on early today and saw someone pugging for Kara: "LF3M DPS". W00t! He's in. One of the other DPS was already saved "can I only run Kara once a week?", so I got my butt in there too (so much for lvling that alt ;) ).

We downed, Attumen, Maiden, Opera (Little Red Hood - so cute!), Curator, Shade & Medivh, and attempted a few others with several wipes. The group had a hard time. Was going fine to start with, but you know how it goes... One wipe and everyone gets nervous, so people start to leave, who get replaced, and so it goes.

Anyway, I got some sexy boots out of it: [Boots of Foretelling]

So... what about pugging KZ?

Repairs: 50 Gold
Elixirs & Potions: 60 Gold
Running Karazhan with a group of strangers for 9 hours: Priceless!

BG Fun

I thought I'd log my Pally (Llewellyn, 14) on yesterday for some prof levelling and a bit of BG. so I finally get her into WSG, look around me, and see a lvl 12 Priest, a few lvl 19 twinks, including a couple Rogues and a Hunter, and some other assorted-lvl players. Within a few seconds I get a tell from the twink Hunter: "leave". WTF?! So of course I pst back: "bite me".

The Battle has Begun. The gates open. I charge outside, and wonder where my comrades are. So I prance accross the divide, looking for something to kill. Luckily, the whole opposing team were valiantly fighting at the bottom of their tunnel, so I join in, throw a couple of heals, and take them down. Uh-oh, the Lock and Hunter rezzed, and they're pissed = me dead.

Anyway, long story short, I spent half the battle on offence, and half on defense. Last flag goes in, it's a win to us - Yay! Check the standings... Oh look! The three twinks take out 1, 2 and 3, and little old me comes fourth in kills with 18, 5 deaths - only two less kills than the smart-arse hunter that whispered me at the start! Damn. I didn't take a screenshot! Oh well, there's always next time ;)

Druid Tales

/boBrocy and I have been playing our newer alts lately, and my Druid is now lvl 18, w00t! She's got her Cure Poisons, and now she has her aquatic-form quest to do, so I'll be working on that over the weekend. She has the whole Black Defias Armor set, and will be able to put the last piece on once she dings. Still lacking some enchants though, lol. Not the most fantastic set for a Druid, but it seems to do the trick. Because I run with a Warrior, I'm forever playing through my different roles: DPS, Tanking & Heals.

I'd like to get her to 19 and get a load of Warsong Gulch in before I lvl her any further. Once she gets to 19, I'd like to lvl my Paladin up to 19 aswell (currently 14).

Helmaree's progression is on the backburner for the moment, as is Chadia's 59 twinking program.

As some of you know, i've recently installed X-Perl UnitFrames. I'm still not sure if I like it yet. While it's highly configurable, and I can see how it is extremely useful, especially for Raid organisation, but for regular gaming, I figure there must be a more straight-forward option available. Any ideas?

I downloaded iTunes recently too; makes it a whole load easier to subscribe to podcasts :D There's a few really good ones out there, my two faves being The Instance and while not quite the same quality, I find the WoW Addons show realy informative. Oh yeah, and iTunes is free to download, and you can browse everything for free. Podcasts are free!!!

This made my day!

I came across this video whilst browsing the content on a Facebook group called 'I am a Girl and I play WoW'. It's just awesome!


June 10, 2008

Slack!

Well, I finally managed to log on for a little while this evening before my nightly kick-off happened. Anyway, this post is my short(ish) attempt to shed some light as to why I haven't been on much of late.

As you all know, I've spent a lot of time playing in the last 12 months, with the last 6 months or so being devoted to running and improving the guild. As a result, I have neglected many of my duties at home, and gotten into some pretty bad habits.

In an attempt to set things straight again before things get bad, both Brocy and I have set Parental Controls on our accounts so we can only play for 1 hour on weeknights, and 5 hours each day on the weekend. This is a trial to see how we go, and seems to be working well. While the amount of time that we play will probably stay the same for now, we may change the days to suit peak playtimes a bit better.

Of course, spending less time in-game means that I can't be as involved in organising runs etc. as I would like to be. I hope that everyone is happy with this, as the Guild is still a great social outlet for us all. If you feel you need to move on to bigger and better things, please feel free, but don't forget us little people!!

Anyway, enough from me for now...

Guild Blogging

What better way for a Guild to share their experiences with each other and the rest of the Internet community than to blog about it?!

If you have a Google account, just give me a yell and I will add you as an author. This means you can publish in the blog whenever you like, about any aspect of the game you want.

So... What are you waiting for?!
