I’ve been a bit under the weather the last couple days, so the updated Bear list might not be out as soon as I thought.  In conjunction with revamping the list, I’ve been putting together a simple document to help me keep track of upgrades and activities I need to be concentrating on when I […]

… you start leveling fishing.
Seriously.  How boring is fishing?  Pretty boring.  In a weird twist of “art imitating life”, it’s just about as boring as fishing in real life.  The only difference seems to be that you actually catch fish in WoW. 
Actually, it’s not all that bad.  Once you get the hang of it, and […]

I’m this close to finishing the updated bear gear list.  Yes, I know there are probably better things I could be spending my time on, but I really felt it was time to freshen it up.  With a better perspective on endgame than I had when it was first written along with some other fantastic […]

I do.  That’s why when last night I saw in LFG channel someone wanting help with “Even Gronn have Standards”, I offered my help.  If you remember, I just completed the Gronn “three sons” a few nights ago - with the help of a pug.  Color me simple, but I always felt that you should […]

I saw this mentioned over on BBB a couple days ago and fought the urge to write about it immediately.  I wanted to give it a test drive and give you my thoughts along with the link.
The site is Be Imba!  It’s a character audit for level 70 toons.  As reported by Big Bear and […]

I’ve been slowly getting back into playing Amanna over the last week or so.  So much to do: don’t have epic flying yet, don’t have Earthwarden, don’t have any T4, not even “friendly” with Ogri’La.  Dang - how quickly you fall behind.  It really hurts not having a guild also since my quest log is […]

Thanks to Altitis for posting on the feedburner stats issue.  Poking around in his numbers, he found all his Google FeedFetcher numbers missing and has posted a link to the Feedburner thread where lots of folks are reporting the same problem.
Thanks for the quick info Altitis1

Feedburner feed subscriber count went from 100+ yesterday to under 50 today???  I know it’s an “estimate” and varies day to day, but to drop by 50% from one day to the next seems very odd.  Subscriptions had actually been increasing on the new site versus the old, I think just from updating my blogroll […]

I had a chance to try out the “tactic” I mentioned in my previous post, and I’m even more confused now. 
As we remember when we first got flight form, you cannot cast flight form while in combat.  So when I re-tested my theory after one of the Kaliri aggro’d on me, I simply fell to […]

Now that I’m getting back into Amanna, I’m trying to do the few dailies I have on a more regular basis.  So this afternoon, I headed out to Skettis to bomb me some eggs.  Of course, you can’t do that without getting a couple Monstrous Kaliri on your tail.  Elune, are they annoying!!!  Especially so […]

Nothing on the To-Do list…
Wife out all night with friends…
TV sucks…
Might be the perfect time to rebuild my UI, take lots of screenshots and notes, and start writing my build a basic UI series.
That is of course, if I can resist playing…

So I’m on Saturday night playing around with Mastu a bit.  He’s my Dranei Shaman alt that is the farthest along of all my alts.  Currently at level 25, I’m questing in Ashenvale and he’s starting to feel like a “real” character.  Too bad there’s no one around anymore, it would be fun to run through […]

Okay, that ended up sounding a bit more pompous than I intended, but all in all a decent title for this post.  I really haven’t posted much over the last week or so.  I’ve been busy with the blog move and another “project” I’ll tell you about.  So for the two people who are interested, […]

As I wrote previously, on the heels of Tobold and others, the issue of new character leveling would seem to need addressed by  Blizzard.  As it is now, it’s merely tedious.  Yes, the accelerated XP rewards do help, but having to progress through 70 character levels just to have a different toon isn’t exactly the […]

Interested?  I’m assuming I’m not the only one out there who needs more money.
I’ve long since wanted to write a series on how to effectively use Auctioneer to make money; living the high life of buying low and selling high.  Trouble is, I never really felt like I had a good handle on how best […]

Long story short - Phaelia over at Resto4life has tracked down yet another batch of Druid blogs.  Check out her post describing what they’re all about.  I’m adding them to my blogroll today or tomorrow.

Tobold poses an intriguing proposition: should all alts be able to start at a higher level when the new expansion comes out?
His reasoning goes that given the announcement that Death Knights will start at a “higher level”, generally reported to be somewhere in the range of 60 give-or-take, why should a player then have to […]

As reported by Of Teeth and Claws recently, Emmerald’s oft-quoted ranked list of feral druid gear has been updated for patch 2.3 gear.
Of Teeth and Claws, along with Big Bear Butt Blogger, have become my two favorite blogs as of late.  Both have a great mix of technical analysis, insightful comments and a dash of […]

I’ve noticed a couple “resolution lists” around the ole blogosphere, both WoW-related and not, so I figured I’d jump in.  I’m really not a big one for resolutions; I get the symbolism of a new year’s beginning just fine, but don’t feel one particular day of the year is necessary to make a decision to change.  That […]

With apologies to the classic:
If a guild member /gquit’s and no one is there to see it, is it a stealth quit?
My WoW life has reached a new low here at the end of the year.  I’ve briefly written a couple times before that my guild was slowly dissolving after some key officers left to […]
