By | October 12, 2011

I’m going to be honest: I don’t get people who feel the need to come after or condescend RPers. For the past two days, the Breakfast Topic at WoW Insider has attempted to start a conversation about RP: What we do, how we do it, what mechanics we follow and why we follow those and [...]

By | July 25, 2011

Open Thread: This is How it Ends

By | February 15, 2011

Wrath ended with a bang:  By killing Arthas.  It is far too early in Cata’s to accurately predict how this expac will end (though I think we all have an idea), but to be fair, those of us at WTTRP care about the overarching plot of WoW in how it relates to our own stories. [...]

Everyone’s a Hero (In Their Own Way)

By | December 20, 2010

(Okay, I couldn’t resist the Dr. Horrible reference. Today’s guest post is from the Riders’ favorite half-faced, surly elf, Illithias.  Like a night elf, Illi has blue hair IRL and it is awesome.  I can neither confirm nor deny whether or not IRL Illi bounces when idle for long periods of time. On our forums, [...]

Pull up a chair!

Wednesday Wish List

By | August 18, 2010

What are the features that you wish WoW supported? These could be technical features–OpenGL enhancements, cross-faction languages–or story features–A Wrathgate-like event for Cataclysm. Personally, I want more customizable options; specifically, more hair styles. Hell, I also want trenchcoats and the option to by Gilnean fashions (top hats!). I also think adding a hint of grey [...]
