CM Crygil has posted a very general thread over on the forums asking players what they think of the various class roles out there: “Ranged/Melee/DPS, Tanking and Healing.” As you probably have noticed, those three roles make up what are often called the Holy Trinity in role-playing games and MMOs: either you do damage, prevent [...]

Some of his answers were encouraging, some were vague, but all of them served to give a Mage community very concerned about its future a more enlightening look at [...]

I anticipate 3.2 will come out quicker than most content patches and that 3.3 will be on its way soon after. After that, I’m willing to put good money on an expansion [...]

I’m learning to dance. By which I mean, I’m learning various semi-ballroom or formal dances that are not characteristic of my native and well-honed ability to flop around on the dance floor like a seizing fish out of water.
