I don’t have anything terribly insightful to say, but I wanted to share some screenshots of Zandalar. I love that we can jump on these big boys to ride around the zone. I’m on the far side, and Mooglegem is closer to the camera.
These direhorn are just so cute!
This shows the citizens of Dazar’alor at Rastakhan’s funeral.
Here’s another look at citizens assembled.
The other day I hadn’t really intended on playing WoW much. I got online to do something really quick, and my friend and guildmate Zetzu announced that Oondasta was up, and that people were about to engage him. Within minutes, Devee and Mooglegem were standing on the beach of the Isle of Giants.
No one was attacking him. Minutes passed, and people were still arguing and trying to group up. I got distracted and ended up downstairs talking to my roommate. About twenty minutes later, I walked into my room. On Mooglegem’s screen, I see that Oondasta is almost dead. Mooglegem casts one spell, and the spell hits just before Oondasta dies. I didn’t even get to enter combat with Devee.
Of course, Mooglegem gets some loot. I forget what it was now, but after looking at the loot, she used a Mogu Rune of Fate.
Reins of the Cobalt Primordial Direhorn.
Too awesome! I think she looks good on it though, don’t you?
Frontiers and Force Projection, Rohan, Blessing of Kings, 2/13/13.
Rohan gives a fantastic perspective on frontiers in MMOs in relation to travel time. It’s a great read!
Know Your Lore, Tinfoil Hat Edition: Wrathion’s Gambit, Anne Stickney, WoW Insider, 2/17/13.
This seems particularly interesting to me. Could Wrathion be trying to rebuild the Black Dragonflight?
Burning Legion begins Russian invasion, Alex Ziebart, WoW Insider, 2/15/13.
Interesting, but the event itself was horrible of course.

Mooglegem, you better make us some gold!

A WoW community that’s nice to people? It can’t be.
A Gift of a Fish, Arioch, clearcasting, 2/6/13.
Arioch tries his hardest to give his mom a new pet.
Patch 5.2 Prep: Get ahead of the game, Kristin Marshall, WoW Insider, 1/28/13.
Ensure you’re ready for the patch!
How to get green fire for your Warlock in Patch 5.2, Megan O’Neill, WoW Insider, 2/7/13.
Spoilers abound, but Megan gives us a look at what warlocks will do to get their fel fire.
We don’t need daily quests anymore, Anne Stickney, WoW Insider, 1/25/13.
I’m all for unlockable content, but I’m not sure I like the daily system tied to reputation. Maybe I should post about this later…
Patch 5.2 honors El’s Anglin’, adds sea monster and new battle pets to fishing, Alex Ziebart, WoW Insider, 1/24/13.
It looks like a new NPC, El, joins the Anglers. Great!
Around Labor and Delivery: Pride and joy, Elizabeth Wachowski, WoW Insider, 1/31/13.
They named their kid Jaina. Seriously.
Around Azeroth: Sweet dreams?, Elizabeth Wachowski, WoW Insider, 1/24/13.
I wish I knew who lived there.

If you’ve noticed that Varian has changed quite a bit and want to know more about why, give this a read.
Know Your Lore: The genesis of Garrosh Hellscream, Anne Stickney, WoW Insider, 1/27/13.
If you’re interested in the history of Varian, you’re probably interested in the history of Garrosh as well.
WoW Archivist: It’s a secret to everybody — the Linken quest line, Scott Andrews, WoW Insider, 2/1/13.
This was a fun quest line, and I enjoyed reading about it even though I completed it.
Roleplaying the mundane side of the Alliance, Anne Stickney, WoW Insider, 1/26/13.

If only I had musical talent.
Will Patch 5.2 kill PvP twinking?, Olivia Grace, WoW Insider, 1/24/13.
I’m not sure how it would kill twinking, but I think scaling players levels to the highest level of their PvP bracket is pretty cool! (And scaling in PvP works well in TOR.)
Patch 5.2: Valor and Conquest Points will be reset, Olivia Grace, WoW Insider, 2/6/13.
Valor converts to Justice, and Conquest converts to Honor. That’s normal. What’s different is that current Valor gear will still cost Valor. Rewards from 5.0 factions will be at a 75% discount and rewards from 5.1 factions will be at a 50% discount. That’s great, but then why take all of our Valor away? I understand the predicament in wanting to ensure people don’t get ahead, but that sucks a little.
Direhorn mounts coming to patch 5.2 as reputation rewards, Elizabeth Harper, WoW Insider, 2/5/13.
Yes, yes, yes!
Realization, Anna, Too Many Annas, 1/9/13.
I should have posted this last week. I’m in agreement with a lot of this. I don’t have time to do everything Blizzard wants me to do, and I miss the idea of finishing everything I needed to do for the week and just being done.
Know Your Lore: Hands drenched in blood, Anne Stickney, WoW Insider, 1/13/13.
A fantastic look at the lore behind the Blood elves and Lor’themar Theron. I’ve been really fascinated with the Blood elves recently, so I was very excited to see that Anne wrote this!
Stormwind and Orgrimmar get repaired, somewhat, on the patch 5.2 PTR, Olivia Grace, WoW Insider, 1/10/13
Title says it all. I’m excited about this!
Examining the tier 15 priest set bonuses, Dawn Moore, WoW Insider, 1/16/13.
Good to know for priests!
Patch 5.2 valor gear not tied to dailies, Olivia Grace, WoW Insider, 1/14/13.
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
Patch 5.2 PTR: New notes from Ghostcrawler on tier 15 bonuses, other balance concerns, Adam Holisky, WoW Insider, 1/15/13.
Might be good info. Then again, things might change.
Patch 5.2: No flying mounts in the new zone, Adam Holisky, WoW Insider, 1/16/13.
Flying does feel like skipping content, so I’m glad about this.
Direhorn hunter pet in patch 5.2 is the triceratops we’ve been wanting, Olivia Grace, WoW Insider, 1/16/13.
I need a hunter. Now.
