I saw an article on WoW Insider and I had to link to it.  This post has all the essential addons you would want to have with the latest 3.0 release of World of Warcraft.  I’m an addon junkie so I know I’ll be downloading some of the suggested game enhancers.

Curse’s WotLK Addons

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/tags/wotlk/default.aspx

Pretty snazzy title, doesn’t really mean much though - sorry for misleading.  I’m doing some quests in Wintersprings and it’s pretty cold there.  I started my night by finally get my REP up with Timbermaw Hold, a bunch of Furlogs.  It was gruling at first.  I didn’t know how long it was going to take.  Lucky for me there was a druid questing in that area and we teamed up.  It was great!  I got my rep in no time.  I want to write more, but I’m too tired.

On an happier note, I’m level 56 and VERY close to leveling up.  As soon as I hit 58 - I am out of Azeroth and into the gold farms of Outland.

Gratz Icesseyes on your Big ding to 70 welcome to the top for another 9 days lol

Congratulations Aariana on your Ding to 70,  Was starting to wonder if you would make it there before WoLK came out now lets go do some daily’s.

Gratz Ynomrah For your big 70 ding, Was the road long or what.  We are getting more and more members slowly gaining ground.  I am happy to see My fellow Guildies Hit the high mark.  Once again Gratz

Yah, I almost got fooled into giving away my WoW account information.  Someone sent me an email with the subject “Wrath of the Linch King beta test invitation!”  I was overjoyed and clicked on the link that said http://beta.worldofwarcraft.com.  I’m so lucky I’m a web developer - I immediately noticed I was sent to a site with a completely different URL… “We’re not in worldofwarcraft.com anymore.”  The first thing that comes to mind is, “Maybe Blizzard is using a third party to handle the beta invitations.”  Then right after that is, “Hey, could someone be trying to phish some information out of me!?”

I then double-back to the email and check the link again.  It looks legit, but when you roll-over it you see the long not-worldofwarcraft.com URL.  Then I thought to myself, “Something looks phishy.  Why would Blizzard need a third party?  And why is this not under the worldofwarcraft.com domain.”  Well I went through some clicks just to see what’s up and of course they were requesting MORE information than I thought Blizzard would require.  They wanted username, password, address, phone, etc.  I knew the jig was up and did not continue.  I did go to http://beta.worldofwarcraft.com to see if there is a real version and there is… and they asked for way less information and a specific key to authenicate.

Don’t let Phishing happen to you.  Remember kids, “Only you can prevent phishing.”

Just wanted to say High 5 To Madmaxx for his arrival on the Lvl 70 Status that he has so much sought after.  Now if we can only get him to give up on some G’s we would be ok

Gratz Bro

We’re all wondering what happened to the WoW killer-add-on, Auctioneer, after patch 3.0.2 was released.  A lot of us downloaded the compatible version only to think that it didn’t work.  Well after skimming their wiki - I see that everything was intentional.  See more details on Auctioneer at their site:

http://wiki.norganna.org/Adaptation_from_Auctioneer_Classic_to_Auctioneer_Advanced

All of the views and stats are still there, they’re just turned off.

1. The only way I know how to get to Auctioneer’s configuration is to go to the auction house and once the auction window is present, click on “Configure” on the top.
2. Expand the “Stat Modules” option and click on “Histogram”.  That’s the one folks are used to.  Go ahead and click on everything to see what stats you want and what you don’t.

This month’s event is Hallow’s End.  It’s Azeroth’s equivalent to Halloween.

• Type: Seasonal Holiday
• Date: October 18 - November 1
• Location: Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus, Orgrimmar, Undercity, Thunderbluff, any in

There are a couple of events, lots of loot and lots of goodies during this holiday.  The most covented loots are dropped from the seasonal boss, The Headless Horseman.  He pays a quick visit at the newb zones to show them that he is real, but if you want to vanquish him for good - head over to his shrine at the Scarlet Monastery graveyard.  Unfortunetly; this requires someone level 65+ to get the quest: Call the Headless Horseman.  Lucky for us, we have a good number of guildmates at or over that level.

So; I want to see how many instances we can run to defeat this horseman.  If you want in on this action, visit the forums and lets talk about it.
