WoW Patch 3.2.2 lowers cost of flying

Even as inflation and worldwide recession jacks up transportation fares, it seems that Blizzard is bucking the trend and continuing to drive training costs for mounts even lower. Blizzard poster Mumper — a blue so new to posting that even Zarhym was caught off-guard — confirms on the forums that the costs to train for [...]

Breakfast Topic: What race would you change to?

My first end game character was a Tauren Hunter. It was also the first character I created. When I made him, I didn’t know much about the races, starting zones, or characterization quirks. The Tauren care for the world around them and hesitance when it comes to the battle. They’re a calm and steady race [...]

WoW Moviewatch: The Kodo Egg

The Kodo Egg by Ollgabopi is a fairly short, simple story. It’s not complex or overwhelming. Instead, this story is about the dreams of a simple man, and the narrative is just as straight-forward as the character’s desires. I won’t spoil the shattering ending, of course.
What struck me most about The Kodo Egg is the [...]
