The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Warriors in Icecrown Citadel, Part 1

The Care and Feeding of Warriors is WoW.com’s column about aromatic essential oils for use in baths and to spruce up the house. Unfortunately I don’t know anything about those so I’m going to have to talk about playing a warrior in World of Warcraft instead. My hands are tied, I’m afraid.
Before I get to [...]

WoW Insider Show tomorrow at 3:30pm Eastern

My last episode of the WoW Insider Show is on the air tomorrow afternoon — it’ll be sad (I really love doing this show for you all), but hopefully it won’t be too maudlin. Fortunately both Matthew Rossi and Chase Christian have agreed to join us, and of course Turpster will be on with us [...]

Farewell and thank you, WoW.com

I’ve told this story a few times before: I actually started out on WoW.com as a comment troll. A few years back, Jennie Lees was the lead blogger here, and she posted something silly about a wallpaper or a plush doll, I don’t remember. I was also reading the forums at the time, and Blizzard [...]

We here at WoW.com are on a Daily Quest to bring you interesting, informative and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.

WoW.com’s top ten stories of 2009

What a year it’s been for the World of Warcraft. We’ve had three big content patches, a BlizzCon, an expansion announcement, and perhaps out of all of the five years this game has been running, this was the year with the most surprises. A few things players thought would never happen (including faction changes) finally [...]

WoW Moviewatch: Blue Sunny Day

The subtle mix of Jonathan Coulton and Spiffworld continues to go together like peanut butter and jelly. I obviously can’t speak for Mr. Coulton, but I feel like Spiff manages to nail a video to each song with absolutely perfect alignment. Spiffworld’s newest release is a take on Blue Sunny Day and continues the monster-as-focus [...]

Facebook vs. World of Warcraft

They both have millions of users across the world. They both have made and broken friendships and relationships, and they both have raised millions if not billions of dollars for their respective companies. And chances are that they’re both so popular even your grandma knows about them. Gamasutra has written an interesting post comparing both [...]

Around Azeroth: Rejected

Submitter Khaleash of <Azuma> on Terenas-EU sent in this pic of a rogue he spotted on his way out of Brewfest. It looks like the poor melty-faced dude was kicked out of the beer festival. I suppose that there are no beer goggles strong enough to make him a pleasant sight.
Do you have any unusual, [...]

Breakfast Topic: My cold, dead fingers

If there’s one thing I hate doing in World of Warcraft, it’s missing a raid or instance I said I’d be at.
It doesn’t happen very often, because I try and be conscientious about it: while it’s true that WoW is a game, it is (for me at least) a social game and I consider my [...]
