Warcraft is Escalating with Patch 5.3: Escalation

Well that escalated quickly-World of Warcraft’s newest patch, “Escalation” hits live servers today!  One of the biggest mechanics altering patches of Mists of Pandaria, 5.3 is adding a ton of new content, and making some big changes to already existing systems.  For detailed information, you can check out Blizzard’s official content page for 5.3 here, and for all of your guides, details, and answers to your questions, heading over to WoWhead’s 5.3 guide is also a must. 

The Weekly Marmot: Episode 176

Not long to go now before Lore ships off to Blizzard Entertainment, so be sure to check him out on this week's episode of The Weekly Marmot.

World of Warcraft: Redemption

With the recent news that World of Warcraft has lost 1.3 million subscribers in the last 3 months, the imminent patch 5.3 suddenly carries a lot of importance. Bear in mind that, although the patch brings a lot of changes and fixes as well as some new content, 5.3 isn’t a major content patch, so will it be enough to keep players interested? Let’s take a look at why we should stick around for patch 5.3.

The Final Countdown

As fans of Josh "Lore" Allen are no doubt all fully aware, the man himself wil be departing for Blizzard at the end of the month.

That means you should take full advantage and watch the latest episode of The Weekly Marmot. This week, Lore discusses whether lockouts for 10 and 25 man raids should be split.

Lore Joins Blizzard

Well it's official folks! Last week Josh Allen aka "Lore", released his big announcement stating that he would in fact be joining the Blizzard Entertainment North American Community Team for World Of Warcraft.

World of Altcraft

Until recently, those poor little guys and gals I devoted so much time to in Cataclysm had become nothing more than a memory. But now, with the news that the xp required to level from 85-90 is going to be reduced by 30% in the next World of Warcraft patch, I am faced with a new problem: which alt do I level first?

Am I happy? Oh, yes! During Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm, I raided with five characters - and I wasn't the only one. My guild ran raids for our alts while also progressing through heroic content on our mains. However, during Mists of Pandaria, many of us have had to accept that our mains are now our 'onlys,' with only enough time for normal modes and LFRs.

World of Warcraft: Questing is Fun?

Hello. My name’s Qelric and I have a confession to make: I spent the night questing and I liked it.

If you knew me personally, you’d think me mad, but it felt so good! It’s been a while since I’ve had the time or the inclination to spend a few hours doing anything other than raiding in World of Warcraft, but last night I unlocked the Klaxxi and really enjoyed committing Mantid genocide in the Dread Wastes.
