I feel reinvigorated. A break for several months has made Northrend feel fresh again. I ease myself back in to activity by refreshing my jousting skills, soon earning the title of 'Crusader' that eluded me before. The intangible nature of all the gold piled up in my ...

Along with Gnomesblight getting the Wintergrasp Veteran achievement my warrior, Sapphire, has managed to keep busy. Sapphire is still trying to attain exalted status with the Argent Crusade to complete the Argent Tournament achievement list, although my casual gaming times playing World of Warcraft will make that goal last ...

Having the Baconeers turn up in Northrend allows me to take a break from trying to find Sapphire, my warrior, emissaries of the Argent Crusade in an effort to raise her reputation with them. I have effectively completed the Argent Tournament, becoming an exalted champion for each of the ...

Despite getting my death knight up to 76th level after a run through the Old Kingdom, and my warrior reaching the same level by completing the Netherwing Drake grind and Dalaran cooking daily quests, the harsh level restrictions in Wrath of the Lich King raise their ugly head again. ...

I've been rather scathing of World of Warcraft's Northrend content recently, although it was partly owing to trudging through the quagmire of achievement-orientated and otherwise-pointless holiday events. Just as Winter Veil ends the Lunar Festival turns up, swiftly followed by Valentine's weekend. With so many holidays I need ...

My guild was hoping to get another instance run going at the weekend, at about the same time as my death knight was running around for the Wyrmrest Accord and gaining 75th level. With four players on-line with characters 75th or above we start planning, everyone keen to try ...

I haven't kept it much of a secret that I have found the level-based restrictions and pointless content-unlocking quest chains rather frustrating, to the point where I am enjoying my own corner of nostalgic glee in grinding for the Netherwing Drake. Melmoth heeds my disatisfaction, 'Lo, if you want ...

I recently made enough gold to buy artisan riding for Sapphire, with a little left over for more auction house speculation, and I have started the reputation grind for the Netherwing Drake flying mount. With my protestation over the heavy restrictions and limitations in Northrend questing it is fair ...

The guild run in to The Nexus goes ahead as planned. I take my warrior, Sapphire, as the tank and the mage is replaced by a death knight alt, otherwise the group remains the same, with a hunter and another warrior as DPS and a priest to heal. ...

With a recent successful pick-up group run through Azjol-Nerub with my death knight I feel more comfortable about tanking the instance with my warrior, Sapphire. I manage to get in to another pick-up group and we all enter the instance. During the run I find that I am ...
