Wrathgate Wednesday: Stolen Kills

The Wrathgate Cinematic come in at four minutes, thirty seconds. Our Wrathgate project took months to finish. This huge difference in time is due, in part, to imaging that there was more action just off camera. We also gave a lot of time between italic (guide) posts to make sure everyone got a [...]

Yva Darrows is in a grassy field in Elwynn, watching a blue dragon flit near Jak’s head and wondering if this was her best idea. The blues are said [...]

In Someone Else’s Shoes

That’s how the saying goes: “Walk a mile in my shoes and you’ll understand.”  A lot of times IC conflicts start because two people are seeing an issue from two different angles, and — just as it happens IRL — those characters’ backstories and current situations color the way they approach those points of contention.
When [...]

Friday Fiction: Winter Veil

((I wrote this for Bricu last year, but I can’t remember if I ever posted it anywhere.  Happy Winter Veil to all!))
Dalaran was covered in lights.  Threnn was tired of the cold, tired of the snow, but here, with the reds and blues and greens reflecting from every window, she didn’t mind it so much.  [...]

RP: More than Pixels

RP is a gift that keeps on giving. It can help motivate you when there’s a lull in content. It can help kick start your muse. It can introduce you to new people. I personally think it is more valuable than a t10 set bonus.  While Raiding and PvP get you [...]

Wrathgate Wednesday

Last week, we read the Italics post that provided the ground rules for the next batch of actions by the Wildfire Riders.  The forces of the Lich King push back from the initial charge.  This is where the fighting truly begins.
Today we have two examples of how the fighting is done.  Yva, Genise and Davien [...]

More Icecrown Shenanigans.

Icecrown’s here, we’ve already tackled the 5 man thing with Bricu’s previous post, so I won’t beat that dead horse. I’m disappointed, most A-Side folks I know are disappointed, we move on.
I’d like to touch on what I’m afraid of going forward. If you ever did the Illidan fight [...]

Audience Participation Time!

Point the first: if you’re not reading Bricu’s thread, “Disappointment,” which he stealth-posted on Saturday, you’re missing out.  Go on over and join the discussion of Jaina Proudmoore v. 2.0.
Stemming from a few of the comments there about the relative scarcity of strong female characters in fantasy, I thought this would be a good spot [...]

Disappointment

Thanks to the Wildfire Riders, I got to see the Ice Crown Citadel 5-mans. I personally avoided all the spoilers from patch notes and blogs because I wanted to see, first hand, how Jania interacts with Arthas.
I was more than underwhelmed. I was sorely disappointed.
Jania Proudmoore is the ruler of Theramoore, a powerful
magi, a [...]

All The Game Needs is Shot in the Arm

From all the rumblings I’ve heard on Feathermoon, it seems that 3.3 dropped at just the right time. End game content, specifically the Tourney, had been played out. Thanks to Fall of the Lich King raiders–including RP-Radiers–have new content to throw themselves into. The patch is a booster shot: It is [...]
