How do you kill that which does not live? It's a recurring question when encountering zombies, ghouls and skeletons, one that eludes a common solution. It raises interesting discussion about the existence of the soul, particularly in conjunction with PC death and resurrection, and whether death is an ...

I hear there's a cleric in an Alliance camp in Desolace who has skeletons in his quest log. Although I have travelled through various regions already, I still have quite a trek ahead of me to reach him. My route takes me through Ratchet, as I still have ...

Coming out from overpowering Wailing Caverns, the Filesystem Checkwits spot some allies. From brief stints as spies in Horde territory, I understand the riders we encounter to be quite a frustration. Maybe they don't ambush unsuspecting characters quite as effectively as the devilsaurs in Un'Goro Crater, but the ...

It's low-level Horde dungeon achievement night! Missing our druid, off in the emerald dream of PC repairs, we limit our attention away from solid group progress and more towards superficial achievements, making sure we keep our focus fixed on fun. Quite why we pick Wailing Caverns as our ...

One is a good and pure bringer of the light, the other a demon-controlling master of the dark arts. Together, the paladin and warlock pair run around Duskwood and get up to all manner of wacky hijinks! The biggest prank is the one pulled on us by the ...

We stand outside Gnomeregan, contemplating the arudous path before us. We could just turn around and go to punch boars in their Heisenburg snouts, only determined to exist when we are specifically not on a quest to gather them. But, no, Vulzerda is adamant that 'we are here ...

Aggro is a curious mechanic. Many are the times you can fight within sight and sound of nearby mobs without drawing any attention to yourself. Fireballs can sunder the air, roaring a scorched path to their targets; mighty weapons will clang off armour, or draw howls of agony ...

We need a holiday, some distant land to explore, mostly to get away after randomly interrupting many of Stormwind and Ironforge's hardcore RP contingent. Vulzerda can't help it if her elephant sits down in the middle of a picnic, the brutes are difficult to control. I can't help ...

Worgen and wolves, wolves and worgen. There is so much potential leather in Shadowfang Keep that a tan mist falls over Vulzerda's eyes. Indeed, after the first couple of rooms are cleared of worgen and wolves, wolves and worgen, Vulzerda uses her hearthstone to return to Stormwind and ...

We clear the Deadmines. Big deal, everyone has. Gryan Stoutmantle must have hundreds of masked heads of Van Cleef rotting in Sentinel Tower by now. But a feat that few characters have bothered to do since Northrend was put on the map is to run from Stormwind ...
