  • I talk a lot about roleplaying with WoW players, and I've met all sorts. There are those who are fervent in their hatred of the Horde or Alliance, who will brook no talk of anything other than their eradication. There are those who are more dedicated to their profession, such as a guild of blacksmiths and engineers, who play as metalsmiths and technicians, and treat their guild like a machine shop. A guild can be little more than a high powered LFG channel, or it can be a lot more than that. Here I'll lay out a template you might find interesting for a guild based in a strong roleplay background. This is not recommended for a non RP server climate.

  • Blizzcon 2009 approaches rapidly in 10 days.  About a month ago, I found at the Trademark Office website that Blizzard filed a new trademark titled Cataclysm.  I submitted it to the press and it has spread globally. Lot of speculations have birthed since then.  I have written my share of articles in the past weeks supporting the theory that Cataclysm refers to a World of Warcraft expansion based in the South Seas and the Maelstrom. ...
