mists of pandaria

I've noted many times at this point that World of Warcraft does not seem to have done a great job with Shadowlands, at least from what we've...

When dealing with a long-running MMO, it's easy to sort its history into eras based on expansions. But it's also good to remember that...

Last week, MOP's Justin put up a neat post on his personal blog about the potential for bringing back just the part of WildStar...

All right. I've now been on this expansion tour for... well, seven weeks, but it feels like years. Partly because it meant covering a...

Ah, good. This one is more fun than last week. As much as the latter half of World of Warcraft expansions heads into more...

Oh barf. Yes, folks, it... it had to happen. We had to get to this expansion. I know, none of us really want to. World of Warcraft...

It's time, people. It's time to remember you should never say no to panda. Yes, we've reached one of World of Warcraft's most weirdly controversial...

In my mind, Cataclysm still feels kind of recent. I don't know exactly why. It came out closer to World of Warcraft's launch than the present...

I've written before about MMO economies and how badly handled inflation can wreck them because it's one of my pet favorite topics, but the...

Flight has been a part of World of Warcraft as long as the game has existed. No, not just flying mounts, even though you could...

That title up there isn't sarcasm, folks. I want to actually get hyped up about the next World of Warcraft expansion and talk about...

Well, dear readers, I was totally wrong. All of you predicting that this expansion was a waste of time were right and I was...

Let me write about the day that the Cataclysm arrived. I wasn't going home. I just happened to be in Elwynn Forest, really, visiting an old trainer and introducing him to my boyfriend at the time. We were sharing a glass of wine, he was laughing about the way that an early exercise had me toppling into the water in the freezing cold of early winter.
