Player-vs-Player
21 July 2006
…when it comes to the player-vs-player part of World of Warcraft. This statistic would mean more to me if I knew …
- Are World of Warcraft PVP weapons and armor too cheap now? I want to PvP, but I'm level 50 now. Sucks. #
- The Must-Read Forum Drama of the Summer (So Far). Even if you don't play World of Warcraft you need to read this. I shit you not. #
- Google Video: Chinese Coke / WoW commercial. Coke and World of Warcraft and pretty Girls. #
- MMORPG Chart. It's sick how many subscribers World of Warcraft has compared to its competition. (Check out the 120,000+ chart.) #
- Raidar is an online web-app that lets you plan and organize World of Warcraft raids. There is an online application for everything now. (via WoW Insider) #
- PlasticBag: On wanting to stop wanting 'World of Warcraft'... Patrick is going to read this post and call Tom Coates an amateur. # [4]
- Over a hundred thousand World of Warcraft accounts were closed in November. There are plenty of MMORPGs which don't even have 100,000 accounts to close. # [1]
- The World of Warcraft guild for Penny Arcade kills every single Horde NPC in every major Horde city. And then some. They killed Cairne, Thrall, etc, etc. Damn #
- Some guy is taking photos of his computer and its surroundings everytime he levels his World of Warcraft character. He has a portable computer with EDGE wireless so he can play the game pretty much anywhere. #
- Disco takes eye-candy to new heights. Disco is an upcoming disc burning program. This is a pretty cute UI embellishment, for when you want to do something with your graphic card besides use it to play World of Warcraft. (via Daring Fireball) # [1]
- Defense and Mitigation, how it all works in the World of Warcraft. Sometimes I link to things because I want to read them later, not because I think the people who read this site would be interested in the link; this would be one of those times. #
- Sword of Omen, give me sight beyond sight! World of Warcraft is awesome. I need this sword. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! #
- A World of Warcraft player kits Teremus the Destroyer all the way to Stormwind. Kiting is when you get a monster to follow you for a really long distance. This fellow dragged a powerful monster to one of the alliance towns, where it went to work killing a bunch of people. #
- Tobold criticizes the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion. I think people who aren't having fun playing the game should stop, regardless of whether the expansion makes their end game activities meaningless. # [3]
- Kotaku: WoW Watch: Orcs, Dwarves and the Axis of Evil. Kotaku has an embedded virtual reported in the World of Warcraft game. His first story is on people from embargoed countries playing the game. #
- How to quit a group in World of Warcraft. If I understand things correctly, in Final Fantasy Online people never leave the groups they join till the quest they are working on is done. If you need to leave the game, you are expected to commit seppuku out of embarrassment and shame. # [4]
- You may have heard that a dude dropped his iPod in an airplane toilet, causing all sorts of panic. You may not have heard the World of Warcraft related back story, as narrated by the dude in question. # [2]
My House Is So Damn Hot

…thing I have managed to do is gain a level in World of Warcraft. That was good. …
Level 60 - Woot!

…I continue to spend my time in doors playing World of Warcraft. I have been dividing my time between my new …
- WoW Insider discusses an article posted on Terra Nova about the problems with end-game raiding in the World of Warcraft. It's a fairly long article on the subject; since my character isn't at level 60 yet I can't really comment on any of this. #
- We Were Nostalrius.
The next day, my sorrow for the loss of this thing dominated my thinking. I was surprised by how deeply sad it made me to lose this game that I hadn’t picked up in months. Part of me wants to feel embarassed about that, but no. WoW was always more about the people than it was about the game. It was the impetus and the sustenance of many of the most important relationships in my life. I refuse to diminish those relationships by saying that WoW was ‘just a game.’ I couldn’t help but log back in the next day to see the server one final time. To be there for the final hours.
Blizzard shut down the (popular) private World of Warcraft server Nostalrius a month ago.
