Gnomesblight, my death knight, has been spending most of her time in Wintergrasp still. Most of the time is spent participating in the regular battle to control the zone, but in-between battles the zone is almost empty, with no regular quests or accessible entry routes or flight points, making ...

Getting a Netherwing drake is quite a bit easier now that Northrend has appeared. It's a good job, too, because when I migrated to a new server I wasn't sure if I had the constitution to replace the two I left behind on beloved characters. The promise of ...

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.

I am determined not to let my professions lag behind me on my journey through Northrend, however unlikely it will be that I can keep them synchronised with my level. First, I need to get them to a stage where I can train to the grand master level and ...

Everyone knows about Leeroy Jenkins. He is notorious enough that there is now an achievement in World of Warcraft based on his fifteen minutes of total party killing fame. Being the optimistic types, rather than having the achievement require pulling the whole room of whelps in Upper Blackrock ...

When I got a new two-handed mace for my death knight from Northrend I had a weapon skill of one, which meant my mace would be swinging at air for at least the first couple of hundred attempts to hit something. Rather than getting pounded to a paste by ...
