Sunday, September 13th, 2009

One word: Battlegrounds! Yep, as of Patch 3.2, you can now gain experience in PvP battlegrounds like Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin, and Alterac Valley.

Review: Zygor Guides vs Warcraft Pros

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

I’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.

As unbelievable as it sounds, a Warrior managed to get from level 1 to level 80 without dying once. That’s an incredible feat! Apparently this wasn’t her first character, so she was able to use her main to buy some nifty items that helped get her out of some scrapes. Some bloggers have even taken up the challenge to try it themselves.

3 simple tips for reaching level 80 faster

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Getting to level 80 is a grind; no one’s going to argue with that. It took me almost two years to level my first World of Warcraft character to 80 just so I could see the Wrath of the Lich King content. It took so long that I thought I might never level another character again! Fortunately, along the way, I picked up some really simple ways to level faster. And this time I was able to get to level 76 in a matter of days, not weeks, of in-game time.

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Nelf Cat DruidBlizzard recently announced that they are going to refine the artwork for cat and bear Druid forms for both Tauren and Night Elves. Big Bear Butt has posted some pictures with his comments on the proposed artwork.
