The Daily Grind: Netherwing

December 31, 2007

Daily quests: Easy cash, some faction, nice parting gifts. What’s not to like?
Ever since a friend gave me a Christmas present of the rest of the gold I needed for Osprey’s Swift Blue Gryphon, I’ve been spending a LOT of time on Netherwing Ledge, gaining (what else?) Netherwing faction. Yes, I want a dragon mount, [...]

A View From the Aerie: A 2007 Retrospective

December 30, 2007

The day after Christmas (Boxing Day, in most of the English-speaking world outside the US), Matticus posted a "Best of World of Matticus" review of 2007. He suggested others of us do the same, which sounds like a capital idea to me.

Blizzard: The Grinch?

December 24, 2007

Well, it’s happened again, this time to an officer in Aetherial Circle (BRK’s guild on Drenden). The account holder was able to recover the account, briefly, but was once again compromised and the account and Guild Vault were both pillaged. Blizzard, of course, is waiting for a call from the account holder. Meanwhile…nothing.
If you [...]

December 21, 2007

Over at Zanderfin’s blog, he asked the question, "Who got you into WoW?"  Then, Trollin’ picked up on the meme on his blog, which is where I first read the question.
A bit more than 3 years ago, I was newly promoted from Moderator to Board Manager at the Vault Network forums. My primary responsibility in [...]

Merry Christmas!

December 19, 2007

 
I know it’s just a wee bit early for this greeting, but by the time most of you read this, I’ll either be flying to or will have arrived in Tampa, Florida to spend Christmas with my granddaughter (as well as her parents: our oldest son and his lovely bride), and our youngest son, who [...]

Another Day, Another PUG…and Lessons Learned

December 18, 2007

There wasn’t much going on tonight, so I figured I should go on a mining run with my Jewelcrafter (Falken, 70 Rogue). Just for grins, though, I logged into LFG, to see if maybe something interesting would come up for Talonis or Osprey. Within 5 minutes I saw "LF1M SV". So I whispered the guy [...]

Finally: Tales from the PUG Zone

December 16, 2007

Several of you have seen my comments on your blogs about my hesitancy to try pick-up groups (PUGs). But this weekend, I finally bit the bullet, and for the first time viewed the Looking for Group/Looking for More (LFG/LFM) screen, and monitored the LFG channel.
On Saturday, I was doing some quests up in Netherstorm with [...]

Some quick tips for doing some of the Winter Veil quests. Some may consider these spoilers, so proceed with caution.
