Guild Charters: Outdated?

Guild Charters: Outdated?
It seems like the guild charter requirement of having 10 people sign was a good idea, it made sure that making a guild was a social activity and that you wouldn’t just make guilds on a whim.
 
However, lately the trend for making a new guild is to sit in a city and [...]

SW Harbor -> Theramore

SW Harbor -> Theramore  
Hello.
 
To me, it feels a little weird to be in this brand new, ginomous harbor… and there are two ships leaving port, as far as I could see: to Northrend, and Ashenvale. The Ashenvale boat is very, very, very nice (Long awaited… yay! Thank you!). However, it seems odd to [...]

Rumor: Two specs

Rumor: Two specs
I like the basic idea of having two sets of talents/spells/armor to flip between depending on what you’re doing, but it’d be hard to implement in a balanced way.
 
One way to balance it out is to have the cost of those second set talents scale up dramatically. Just like talents scale in [...]

Looks great so far, though no city map and no mounting. >.<
 
To get there, run into Crystalsong Forest by following the Path of Titans northward. Then run north a bit more into Crystalsong, cross the river and follow the road west until you [...]

Breakfast Topic: How hybrid DPS could still get screwed in Wrath

Breakfast Topic: How hybrid DPS could still get screwed in Wrath
 
Recently a bunch of the writers here were talking about all the changes we’re seeing to various hybrid DPS specs. Retribution in the beta is known to bring some serious pain, cat DPS has been given some pretty sweet buffs, and Shamans…well, Shamans seem to [...]

Wrath goes Gold


What is engineering?

The problem most engineers have had is simply this: What is the profession for?
If it’s to be like other professions that do something to power up a character, it’s not nearly good enough in this role.
If it’s like the other gathering professions for it’s clouds, it’s not nearly good enough for this role either.
So all [...]
