From the Mailbag

By | August 16, 2010

Or mailbox.  Or inbox.  Mail thingy. I received an email from Jan this morning asking, Unfortunately, I’m one of those avid wow players who haven’t received any cataclysm beta invites! Do you think it’s wise to just wait for the release? Because some people say playing the cataclysm beta will eventually remove the fun in [...]

Monday Afternoon Fun: The Box

By | July 12, 2010

Upon returning home at the end of the night, your character finds… a box before his or her door.  It’s rather common-looking, as boxes go — a simple wooden crate, about two feet on a side.  There are no markings telling its point of origin, but your name’s stamped in big, block letters right on [...]

Sneaky Saturday: Neener Neener

By | July 10, 2010

Quick question: What races does your toon just not like? Bricu (and Threnn) have nothing but negative feelings for Blood Elves (like this one): Their antipathy stems from a number of interactions with some less-than-savory Belves, and an interesting bit of random RP during BC, when a new Draenei character nearly died to a Blood [...]

Audience Participation Double Header!

By | June 21, 2010

Don’t worry, cats ‘n’ kittens, I haven’t forgotten about the next post in the “running an RP event” series.  However, since I’m running behind today, I sent out the HALP I NEED A TOPIC signal, and got two very good questions: From that Fellsabucket: “How do you balance out personal like/dislike for a character between [...]

Extended Maintenance, oh my!

By | June 7, 2010

There’s a big ol’ chunk of realms that will be down for 24 hours on Tuesday.  Feathermoon is one of them, and the maintenance means that the server is offline for our weekly, officially unofficial RP night. I can see a few other RP realms on the list as well, which means there are plenty [...]

Monday Music Open Thread

By | May 17, 2010

Hosted by: The Young Dubliners cover of the Foggy Dew. Take one of your characters moments of AFGE–another fucking growth experience–and put it to music. Link it in the comments. For instance, for those of us who love the Wrathgate Cinematic, one could argue (As I do) that “The Foggy Dew” describes that event perfectly. [...]

By | March 29, 2010

Teleportation in its various forms is just a part of everyday life in WoW.  Mages burn a runestone and move themselves or their friends across continents.  Warlocks summon their friends through the nether.  Engineers — both goblin and gnomish — cobble devices together that transfer their users from one place to another.  They’re part of [...]
