Blog Azeroth Shared Topics: Catching Up!

July 30, 2008

I find myself too easily distracted from things I want to do right now. Hence, they often get done eventually, but rarely immediately. A case in point1 is the Blog Azeroth Shared Topic, as reported by the Twisted Nether Blogcast. I’ve wanted to write on these topics as they appeared, but for one reason and [...]

The State of the Aerie

July 28, 2008

Over the last week or so, I’ve received a couple e-mails from readers advising me that while the Aerie looks great in Firefox, there are some "issues" when viewed in IE7 (if you’re still using IE6 or lower, may I respectfully suggest you either upgrade to IE7 or get Firefox?

Another One Bites the Dust!

July 21, 2008

The Oroborus continues to solidify its raiding prowess, with a first-night kill of Fathom-Lord Karathress. We probably should have one-shot him, but as we moved to engage Caribdis (after dispatching Sharkiss and Tidalvess), someone inadvertently pulled Leo’s outermost patrol of three Tidecallers. Ouch.

July 16, 2008

by Osprey 
 
The other day Kestrel posted an article chronicling our adventures of the preceding weekend. At the beginning of the third paragraph, he said:
Earlier in the weekend, Osprey did his second consecutive full clear of Karazhan. Picked up an off-hand item, but it’s not as good as the Voodoo Shaker, which is (or was; more [...]
