Authenticators? I think not.
So, I’m sure there’s been a story here and a story there about people being hacked even though they owned authenticators. I’ve even read a few myself. But I hadn’t experienced anything like it until two guildies were hacked within two weeks of each other. Guildie One was able to cancel his authenticator, change his password and recover his items within a week. Guildie Two however has been given the run around by Blizzard, and I’m appaled. Though it honestly doesn’t surprise me. Guildie Two was away this weekend. A fellow guildmate knew that and when he saw him toon hopping, reported it to Blizzard with no response. Once Guildie…

BAST: Transmogrify Me
This week, the BAST is all about Transmogrification and Void Storage. If you’ve been living under a rock, you can read all about both of them here and here, respectively. Please, take your time. According to Dictionary.com, to Transmogrify means: to change in appearance or form, especially strangely or grotesquely; transform. Well, the definition doesn’t exactly match up what Blizzard has in mind with Transmogrification, though I’m sure some players will take it that way. The two items Blizzard is so excited to share with us link directly hand-in-hand. And something that a lot of players have been asking for for a while–extra storage. Whether it be for tabards, old…

BAST: Character Identity
This past week, Aka‘s Shared Topic was proposed over at BA:ST: How does your character define themself? What part of their identity is most important to their personality and self-presentation?In meatspace, we have so many affiliations, it’s anyone’s guess whether we consider ourselves a tuba player first, or a student, a Gators fan, a New Yorker, a mother, a nerd, a liberal. Our identities are comprised of so many different aspects of life that it’s hard to tell which parts different people will choose to define themselves.In game, there are less game-related ways to identify.You can identify as:your class – your specyour race – a particular subgroup (Mag’har, Wildhammer)your faction…

20 Days of… Favorite Items in Game (Day 5)
This is Day 5 of Saga’s 20 Days of… WoW Blogging Challenge! This one is a tough one for me. I’ve already written a post about my favorite weapons for BAST, so that’s out of the picture. My absolute favorite items, the letters I get from the Elephant attached to everyday items are hard to link to on Wowhead. My next favorite would have to be the letters from various NPCs that came with various achievements and rewards. Those are also somewhat hard to link to, but after looking at the letters I’d saved, I picked out my favorite letter (even if the mount that came with it can’t be…

Wait, What’s the Word Again?
The bird IS the word. The birds before Alysrazor, that is. Our guild doesn’t do research on trash. We like to kind of figure it out on our own. Except that the birds before Alys completely stumped us. Even after multiple attempts. I won’t ruin the gimmick mechanic of the fight for those that don’t want to know, but all I can say, is that is the most fun I’ve had on trash in a very long time! Alys is also quite fun… compared to Lord Rhyolith. Rhyo can suck an egg. We must have a busted strategy or fail drivers because he is not getting past 30%, despite our…

20 Days of… First Day Playing WoW (Day 3)
This is Day 3 of Saga’s 20 Days of… Wow Blogging Challenge! As much as anyone hates to admit it, we were all complete n00bs when we started out in MMOs, whether it be EQ, Rift, or WoW. I was definitely a nub when it came to WoW. I’d watched some friends at college play, and had been interested in playing for a while, but resisted. Obviously, resisting failed. I still remember what I was doing the first time I played WoW. Morgayn and Calin A friend gave me a Free Trial card, and while cleaning my room one day while getting ready to pack for college, I downloaded the…

Shade of the Elm: 10/12
I wanted to once again give a quick shoutout to my guild for downing Cho’gall last night. We spent a total of fifty-something attempts trying to down his butt, and it was very rewarding for everybody involved to crack that mutha. I just wish I’d been able to grab a better screenshot!!!In no particular order: Sellkies, Kanati, Sbayi, Wrink, Foolish, Wind, Bob, Mana, Chaide, ChestSpecial thanks to: Everybody whom ever spent a wipe or two or more on Cho with us! I also wanted to congratulate our new raiding group, “Avengers of the Elm” (they go in and smash things for vengeance on the group that starts the day before….…

BAST: Favorite Weapon
This past week, Kallixta‘s Shared Topic was proposed over at BA:ST: I was comparing a new upgrade to my older item when it struck me how much I liked my old item. Like is wonderfully subjective and I hope others will explain their measure. Is your favorite weapon something with strong memories for you? Is it something that just works well for RP purposes? Or maybe the balance of abilities meshes better than normal to your spec and play style? I have to admit… I should belong in Too-Many-Weapons Anonymous or something. I’m huge into collecting pretty weapons when I see them while raiding–whether it be new or old content. I…

Shade of the Elm: 9/12
I just wanted to give a huge shout-out to my guild, congratulating them on our ninth boss kill since we started raiding in late-January. We may not be the most hardcore progression guild, but we have a ton of fun, and we get stuff done! This week has just been an amazing set of runs–we downed all of the bosses that were semi-progression easily this week, and I think we’re starting to get over the hump. 🙂 I have the utmost confidence that this weekend we’ll be 10/12 when we down Cho’gall (3% last week!). Again, grats everybody! And not just those that were there for the kill, but each…

Naa… Nananana Na na na…
I know you sang it in your head. Yeah, you did. Don’t lie. And for those asking, “Sang what?”… Well, let me enlighten you, my good friends! That, my friends, is Katamari Damacy. And absolutely phenomenal game, that I wish I still had, along with the system to play it. Oh, how I miss it… But that’s not the point of this post. The point of this post is to gush about a quest out in Uldum. The quest… Gnomebliteration! That totally had an echo in my head when I thought of it. Like one of those fancy announcer type echoes. Anywho… While the Elephant and I were leveling to…
