Archetypes of a Guild: The Guild Egoist
Some of you may remember my article about the 5 Archetypes of Healers back when I was still a guest poster here. I was watching a conversation on twitter between a few of my friends and it got me thinking. Like every social clique a Guild has certain roles or social archetypes that people can … [Read more of this article]
Is Applying to Multiple Guilds a Sin?
Found this intriguing question on Twitter today that was directed to me. I’ll try to paraphrase it as best as I can. ”Is there anything wrong with players applying to multiple guilds?” From my perspective, no. The way I see it, if I’m a guildless player who is looking to get involved with a raiding … [Read more of this article]
Where Have I Been?
I owe you guys an explanation. Normally, I don’t believe in the “Sorry guys, life owned me†type blog posts that offer insight as to why a blogger hasn’t been writing as much. With that in mind, I’m not going to apologize. Instead, what I will try to do is paint on a blank canvas … [Read more of this article]
Shaman Tier 9 Aesthetics
WoW.com did a little post comparing the Alliance to the Horde Shaman tier 9 pieces, I’m sure you’ve seen it by now, if not it’s worth the read.

Sympathy for a Griefer?
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when PhD meets MMO, here’s an interesting read for you. It’s a far cry from carebear Professor Syd, but I find this bit of research interesting just because it differs so much from my own outlook on the game world. A couple weeks ago, nola.com ran an article on … [Read more of this article]
Goblins and Worgen – Neutral Faction (...
We’ve got the Alliance and we’ve got the Horde. Recent information from the latest PTR suggests that there may be two additional races that we’ll be able to play. Granted there isn’t a whole lot of solid stuff out there about this. The entire premise is based off the simple fact that new Halloween masks … [Read more of this article]
Orbit-uary Post Mortem
Well, the crew and I managed to spend a solid 150 minutes on handling four towers tonight. It was nothing more than a simple continuation of last week’s three tower attempts (but slightly longer). Yeah it’s been nerfed slightly. But on the raid kill satisfaction scale, I’d probably set it at 7.5 out of 10. … [Read more of this article]
Of Heroes and Villains Part 2
Last time we talked about the hero classes of Warcraft 3 and the build up to wrath where we got our first hero class, and I would like to thank everyone that chimed in. Today I’ll talk a little bit about implementation of the hero class. Let’s face it, Death Knights set the bar pretty … [Read more of this article]
