Tuesday, December 28th, 2010WoW Quest Help: How to be a good player
Monday, August 3rd, 2009Although you can solo a lot of things in WoW, most people find the “multiplayer” part of a Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) to be the funnest part. Unfortunately, some people don’t know how to behave nicely online, regardless of their age or background. And even if you’ve played other MMOGs, WoW is still a sub-culture all its own. You need to know how to be a good WoW player if you want to be invited back to groups, get into a guild, and generally have a funner time in the game.
Here are some good social guidelines to follow whenever you play WoW:
Speak well
Use completely sentences and spell words correctly. Unless you’re with people you know well, don’t use “txt-speak” when you type. Most importantly: don’t use curse words. You never know if you’re playing against a 10-year-old whose mother is sitting beside him ready to report you to the Game Masters.
Learn WoW’s terminology
Start with our article on WoW abbreviations. Don’t be afraid to ask people what they mean; most people are quite nice and are flattered when they are asked for advice. (If someone calls you a noob/nub, just turn and walk away. They are not going to be nice to you.)
Don’t yell
If you type “/yell” in chat, whatever you type after that will be broadcast across the entire area where you are. It’s really annoying. People will even put you on Ignore if you continue to do it. Know that there are more appropriate ways to get your message to the right people. If you want to sell something, use Trade Chat. If you want to join a group, use /LFG. If you want to ask for quest help, just use “/say” near any town’s bank.
Don’t leave people in the lurch
If you join a group to run a dungeon, make sure you have 1 – 1.5 hours to devote to finishing it. Otherwise, at the very beginning, let the group know you need to leave early. It’s extremely rude to leave an instance in the middle. You leave everyone in the lurch and they will probably wipe (all die) without you.
Roll “Need” only on items that are upgrades
If you’re in a group, make sure you discuss how loot will be rolled on before you get to an instance boss. Typical rules are that everyone can roll on green items, but blue items should be “Needed” only by those who can benefit from them. (For example, a warrior should roll Greed on a blue-level cloth robe, but the Mage and Priest can roll Need.) Doing otherwise will get you branded as a “ninja” and it will be very hard to make friends that way.

WoW Add-on Review: Bagnon

Add-on Review: Bagnon
As I’ve said before on this blog, anything that makes questing in World of Warcraft less frustrating and more fun gets a big thumbs-up in my book. To make things easier in the game, you can find lots of add-ons at places like Curse and WoWInterface. Add-ons are little programs (Blizzard-approved) that you can install to make your WoW life more enjoyable.
Bagnon – A WoW bag organizer
One of my favorite add-ons is called Bagnon. It takes the place of all your different bags and merges them into one big bag so that you can see everything at once. You can even find items with a search box — which comes in very handy at higher levels when your bags are large and you can’t find those pots you need! This add-on is also handy because you don’t have to click multiple times to open all your bags at once: just hit one key (”b”) and you get a window that shows every item you’re carrying. Bagnon even works at the bank, too!
Quest help
I definitely recommend searching for add-ons that will enhance your WoW gaming experience. There are even add-ons that can help you with questing, like pointing you toward the monsters you need to kill or optimizing the order in which you finish your quests. I’ll be reviewing more of these types of add-ons in weeks to come. In the meantime, happy questing!
What’s your WoW gamer psychology?
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
Ever wonder why you and some of your World of Warcraft friends don’t necessarily like to do the same things in the game? Maybe you crave the leveling “ding!” and obliterating every monster in your path, but your friend keeps wandering around, exploring every nook and cranny. Or maybe you know someone who’s just nuts about PvP but you can’t stand it.
Well, there’s a reason why some WoW players are so different from each other. A man named Richard Bartle discovered that different gamers have different types of psychological responses to games. He developed a test called the Bartle Test which helps people figure out what their gamer type is.
Review: Zygor Guides vs Warcraft Pros
Sunday, July 5th, 2009I’ve tried a lot of the World of Warcraft guides out there and I’m here to tell you they are not all created equal. You have to know what you’re looking for and do a little research before you can find the best power-leveling guide. In this post I’m going to compare the Zygor Guide with the Warcraft Pros guides so you can understand the differences between them and decide for yourself which one is best for you. (Of course I have my opinion, but I’ll leave that for last!)
The end of WoW grinding?

Some people who play World of Warcraft like to level — but I’m not one of those people. Leveling is called “grinding” because it feels like a chore that will never end. Yes, there are some quests with good storylines that should not be missed. However, for each one of those quests there are ten more that involve grinding out kills — dozens of boars, gnolls, murlocs, or demons.
At first leveling is okay because you have goals to aim for: new powers at level 10, faster travel at level 20, a mount at level 30… But it really starts to drag between level 30 and level 58. Many gamers use power-leveling guides to help them through this grinding period. These guides do not play the game for you, they just help you find your quest objectives faster. You can get to higher levels in the game so you can experience the most interesting content.
Joanna’s Leveling Guide
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009You won’t easily find a guide to World of Warcraft, especially for the horde leveling type. Alliance is by far the most popular. Therefore is follows as a consequence that you will find more help for alliance than for horde. Moreover this fact is borne out by any sort of search that you may carry out in the internet. It is likely that you will see alliance help in plenty even when you are specifically searching for horde leveling guide.
Horde Leveling Guide
Friday, May 22nd, 2009The two types of race aren’t that different. Horde leveling is pretty much the same as alliance. All you need to do is to kill, conquer the quests, wash rinse and do again.
World of Warcraft Leveling Tips to Help You Hit Level 80 Fast
Sunday, March 15th, 2009The game of World of Warcraft is ever expanding with the release of patches, and content for the game. The latest expansion the Wrath of the Lich King allows players to level from 70 to 80 now which for many players has added some needed freshness to the game. Though there are a number of guides out there to help you level up to 80 faster, However I feel that leveling can also be done without a guide so I wanted to focus on a few World of Warcraft leveling tips that can help you do just that.
