With World of Warcraft's 3.1 patch comes changed talents and talent trees, giving an opportunity for a free respec! I grasp this opportunity with both hands and keep Sapphire a protection warrior and Gnomesblight a frosty death tank. However, that's not to say I made no changes, and ...

Just as my death knight reaches 80th level I feel compelled to push my warrior to the current level cap in World of Warcraft. Being over half-way through 79th level it shouldn't take too long to complete the levelling adventure, even if it has been five months since the ...

You could call the guild I play with in World of Warcraft on the US server small, if only because we need everyone to be on-line at once to try a five-man instance at full strength. They are all fabulous people and instance runs are a lot of fun ...
