This post goes back a little more than a week because last week’s Suggested Reading was written in advance. This is also all from WoW Insider, although I swear I caught up on my other WoW blogs!

Around Azeroth: Mistaken identity, Elizabeth Wachowski, WoW Insider, 7/10/12.

I never expected an Around Azeroth post to make it here, but this is just so cute. It’s a screenshot of a gnome at the Darkmoon Faire competing with the NPC that ports players back to the cannon.

Know Your Lore: The final boss of Mists of Pandaria, Anne Stickney, WoW Insider, 7/15/12.

The Old Gods are known to cause destruction and chaos around them. Who’s causing destruction and chaos in the upcoming expansion? We are.

WoW Archivist: The evolution of Alterac Valley, Scott Andrews, WoW Insider, 7/13/12.

A great look at how Alterac Valley has changed. While they were clearly flaws in the original, and I’m glad I can do AV relatively quickly, this article does make me think that Blizzard’s has gone too far.

Reflections on moving from a PvP to a PvE realm, Matt Walsh, WoW Insider, 7/9/12.

After moving from a PVP to a PVE server, Matt realized he didn’t have to be afraid out in the world anymore, but it also felt like something was missing.

Matt gives a tour of pet battles!

Grandpappy Frostheim on dumbing the game down, Brian Wood, WoW Insider, 7/12/12.

Is the game really getting easier, or is it just getting more accessible? Grindings not hard; it’s time-consuming.

Obsidian Nightwing now available as Recruit-A-Friend mount, Daniel Whitcomb, WoW Insider, 7/16/12.

Take a look at the new RAF mount.

48 dailies are 48 dailies too many, Olivia Grace, WoW Insider, 7/18/12.

There are up to 48 Mists of Pandaria dailies to do each day, and Olivia Grace thinks that’s 48 too many.
