Stealthed Shopkeeper

Ah, yes, it seems I need help finding you, Master Glowergold.
Perhaps I need new glasses?
Or are you in stealth?

Oh wait, there you are!

An Interesting Thing Happened In The UC Sewers

Lately, on the few occasions that I play and not are raiding with ze shaman, I have been mostly tidying up things that should have been done already.
Getting my gnome warlock her pretty spotted apricot-coloured mechanostrider – 2 more Champion’s Seal and it is hers.
Levelling Engineering and Mining on my gnome warrior — she exhausted [...]

Raid Night Preparations

Swearing at my slow-loading computer and wondering how long I have until the next major malfunction. The warranty’s expired so when that one’s rolls around I am probably looking at getting myself a whole new rig, I seriously doubt that it will be affordable to repair it out of my own money.
(On a side note, [...]

Good Enough Healer Is Good Enough

In light of Chas’ and Tam’s excellent post on addons and in the spirit of being environmentally conscious (and no, not at all due to laziness) I today present a recycled post:
Playing With Addons
A bit dated but still reflects how I view it rather accurately – although I wish I could express myselft with the force of [...]

Vent Speaking Time

I noticed the other day as we ran a 20-man raid through the 25-man Ice Cream Citadel that I was talking slightly more than I usually do in a 25-man setting. I ascribed it to the smaller amount of people in the raid, but it got me thinking about what other Vent-affecting influences there could [...]

WoWify

I recently read the speculation  somewhere that in the not-so-far future WoW may be free to play, with the cash flowing in not from monthly payments but from in-game micro-transactions, people buying virtual stuff in game for real money.
And in a flash I saw it before me – why not skip the idea of even micro-transactions and [...]

Happy Birthday Adrenaline!

Larísa tells the tale of the anniversary celebration of our guild Adrenaline with such joy and wonder and I can only agree. Go read it!
I have just a few points to add:
- Gnomes die all to easily!
- I suck horribly at pvp!
- Water breathing is a beautiful spell and should not be banned! Also, I had [...]

Buffed

Varian Wrynn, King of Stormwind, decided some time ago to graciously lend his strength to all intrepid explorers of the Icecream Citadel, increasing our total health, healing done, damage absorption and damage dealt.
This buff started out at 5% and has been increased every 4 weeks in 5%-increments and is since Wednesday at 20%.
This buff has [...]

Cataclysm Wish List

Dear Blizzard,
This year, I have been a very good big girl.
I have not used cheats or exploits (well, not after they were banned at least), I have patiently endured the lag and server crashes inflicted upon me and I have sometimes helped my guildies doing the daily random dungeon or the odd group quests, even [...]

Deflated

My guild downed the Lich King-25 yesterday for the first time.
I was not there.
For what feels like weeks we have been struggling on that damned icy plateau of the Icecream Ciatdel, with that prince turned evil and his various minions.
We have had good raids, bad raids and all you can imagine in between. We have had screwups [...]
