I find it interesting that my PvE fleet activities in EVE Online have me gravitating towards piloting logistics ships repairing the rest of the fleet, effectively being a 'healer', because it is not a role that has appealed to me in previous games. Admittedly, my experience with MMORPGs is ...

With the key to Scholomance forged and ready to be used, it's the perfect time to visit Stratholme. A full evening of dungeon-delving seems suited to the more expansive Stratholme, its two effective 'halves' offering greater options within the one dungeon, although the multiple diversions to visit all of ...

I posted recently about motivations for raiding, which explains why I spent a while raiding. What the post doesn't cover is what made me start raiding in the first place, or why I stopped, and the motivations behind my choices.
In the early end-game of World of Warcraft I was ...

Vulzerda has retired, Qattara is unavailable, leaving only death knight and warlock. One's an agent of chaos, serving the Lich King, the other is, uh, pretty much the same. With blackness in our hearts, we have only one path to follow: the quest for achievements! Achievements and ...

Vulzerda's taking a break to tidy up her tan lines, which leaves the three of us wondering what to do. Our normal mainstay of lower-challenge, minimal-XP adventuring at this level would be to return to Blackrock Depths, but even with my new-found admiration for the dungeon I don't think ...

Death knight needs a companion. None of the pets I had as a paladin follow me to Acherus when I become a death knight, and I miss having a fluffy follower. But I know where to get them. Grabbing a friendly mage helps, starting in Dun Morogh ...

Raiding remains an impenetrably peculiar waste of time to some people. I raided for 18 months and enjoyed most of my time, even when progress was slow and difficult. I can appreciate seeing the funny side of raiding and the seemingly odd struggles that players continually put themselves ...

Kiska's fallen, and can't get up. The strain of trying to be pure and holy for fifty-eight levels has taken its toll. The final straw is being trained at 58th level with a single upgrade to a healing spell, which is next-to-useless for a front-line tank who is ...

I don't think I've mentioned recently how much I like Livya. My feelings are entirely independent of her giving me the rather shiny bracers of valour, of course. And what a coincidence that it happens during the Love is in the Air non-Valentine's festival of 99% cocoa bitterness. ...

I enter the Halls of Lightning for my daily dose of heroism, only to find I have the archetypal idiot of a hunter in my randomly selected group. He starts attacking mobs too early, creates huge amounts of threat, and blames the tank when pulls go awry and loose ...
