The stricter rationing of quests and over-reliance on phasing may be frustrating me in post-cataclysmic Azeroth, but I am still quite enjoying archaeology. And it is perhaps only because of the cataclysm that archaeology holds its appeal. Being sent to dig sites across the old world would be fairly tedious ...

I've got a request to report to the Hinterlands, which I dutifully ignore to go exploring instead. Adventuring is fun, but I am intrigued as to the changes wreaked to the land about me. The cataclysm—or 'shattering', as I believe it's referred to—has rent great tears in the earth, destroyed ...

One archaeological dig and I lose two years' worth of rested XP. I'm sure that can't be right. I wake up my dormant death knight not so much to make myself even busier but to kick-start my Cataclysm professions. Getting my warrior in to Hyjal and adventuring, after sorting out ...

Don't go to Arathi Highlands! It's not dangerous, just the same old zone and a stark reminder of how tolerant you once had to be to get anything done in Azeroth. I move on from Westfall to Redridge Mountains, but immediately get a quest asking me to visit the mayor ...

Westfall ho! I never much enjoyed adventuring in low-level Elfland and, now that the cataclysm has hit, I am hoping to find new experiences wherever I go, rather than simply trying to streamline my progress to be as efficient as possible. But first I have to work out how to ...

I have been drawn back to Azeroth, partly because of the cataclysmic changes to the landscape, and partly because of the introduction of the worgen race. Draenei are interesting in being an ungulate, but an anthropomorphic wolf appeals much more to the furry in me. It is a little disappointing, ...

With the key to Scholomance forged and ready to be used, it's the perfect time to visit Stratholme. A full evening of dungeon-delving seems suited to the more expansive Stratholme, its two effective 'halves' offering greater options within the one dungeon, although the multiple diversions to visit all of ...

Vulzerda has retired, Qattara is unavailable, leaving only death knight and warlock. One's an agent of chaos, serving the Lich King, the other is, uh, pretty much the same. With blackness in our hearts, we have only one path to follow: the quest for achievements! Achievements and ...

Vulzerda's taking a break to tidy up her tan lines, which leaves the three of us wondering what to do. Our normal mainstay of lower-challenge, minimal-XP adventuring at this level would be to return to Blackrock Depths, but even with my new-found admiration for the dungeon I don't think ...

I don't think I've mentioned recently how much I like Livya. My feelings are entirely independent of her giving me the rather shiny bracers of valour, of course. And what a coincidence that it happens during the Love is in the Air non-Valentine's festival of 99% cocoa bitterness. ...
