9 November 2010 - Pre-Cataclysm Continues…

The next phase of the pre-Cataclysm event has begun, probably lasting a week. This adds a short questline to give you the warm fuzzy feeling that the Earthen Ring is actually on top of things. The Alliance quest gives a bit of foreshadowing of King Magni’s future. “Brann … did mention something about becoming one [...]

4 November 2010 - Tripping the Rift…

If you manage to close rifts of all [...]

23 October 2010 - BlizzCon Day Two!

Another BlizzCon draws to a close. Day Two was much like Day One, although with a noticeably reduced costume contingent. There were several key Q&As on the WoW front, including some interesting exchanges on class mechanics and balance.

12 October 2010 - A New Day (Sort of) Dawns

20 September 2010 - Hoist an Old Stein to Brewfest

Brewfest is upon us, virtually unchanged from last season (when it got its big L80 update). As with Ahune, you can queue for the Direbrew boss encounter and will earn 2 Emblems of Frost (and the rare loot bag) the first time you queue. You can also get there via Direbrew’s Remote (if you build [...]

16 September 2010 - Harvest Season Begins

As we head out of summer (and the Cataclysm begins to fill your hard disk in the background), remember the upcoming seasonal events! The Harvest Festival (16-22 September) provides a great source of free food and drink and a nice bit of lore-based questing (starting in Ironforge or Orgrimmar). Pirate’s Day (19 September) celebrates the [...]
