How do you see yourself evolving as an "athlete-turned-entrepreneur? Ten years ago,the thought of a professional gamer would have been absurd.
We want players to play the game continually with multiple classes. But, we also want players to fully develop a single class. So the answer is both. We want both.

Druid Threat Talent Gone

Benefits of Multiple Pets
2010-03-23 00:00:00
You want multiple pets for multiple purposes. A bear is great for solo grinding, but for PVP they're practically worthless. A cat is good for damage output, but they can't withstand much of a beating. You also want different pets with different resistences on them for end-game content (pre-BC). I don't know about level 70 content. Also, different pets have different abilities, some of which are very good, others of which are not so good. They're also good for some things, and not for others, etc.

Traps breaking REALLY early
2010-03-10 00:00:00
I paid attention to that as well, would a scorpid sting break traps?
I normally pull with a scorpid, I don't know why. I know better than to pull with a Serpent or Viper.
I saw no other DoTs on the mob. -"Now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb!"
Scammich- Level 70 Dwarf Hunter (SV)- Doomhammer
Eelfinn- Level 35 Blood Elf Warlock (Aff)- Doomhammer
Buttas- Level 14 Gnome Mage (Fire)- Doomhammer

Leveling a low pet
2010-03-04 00:00:00
That's what I thought, too, until I tried grinding on gray mobs and noticed he wasn't gaining any experience. Learn something new every day, I suppose.er, well if you're soloing, it's going to be mana-intensive since your pet probably won't be much help. you have to learn the art of kiting if you're soloing(which i'd rarely do anyways).
option 2: get into an instance.

Casual Games Guru Goes to Blizzard
2009-09-07 00:00:00
Greg Canessa, VP of video game platforms at casual games behemoth PopCap, has left the company to go work for an entirely different titan - Warcraft developers Blizzard Entertainment.
The move is a radical shift for Canessa, who spent seven years prior to his time at PopCap as the group manager for Microsoft's Xbox Live - what would eventually become Xbox Live Arcade. Like PopCap, XBLA focuses on "casual" titles that are easy to pick up and play, mean...

Paladin Tier-9: Turalyon's
2009-09-04 00:00:00
MMO-Champion has as preview of most of the Tier-9 sets up, along with set bonuses. Paladin Tier-9 is apparently called Turalyon's Battlegear, Garb and Plate for Retribution, Holy and Protection respectively. I don't know how final any of these are, since they are being pulled off of the test servers.
The new paladin sets kind of remind me of the old school PVP sets minus the tacky yellow color. I like...

Hunter and Paladin Changes, Dual Spec Info, and More

Echoes of Doom UpdateQuote from: Nethaera (Source)
Echoes of Doom, the new World of Warcraft content patch that sets the stage for the upcoming release of Wrath of the Lich King, is now live. The patch brings many changes and additions to the game, including the new achievements system, the inscription profession, changes to class and buff mechanics, new talents, and more.
Since the release of the patch, we have experienced some realm instability as many players logged in to the game for the first time and began to access the new achievement system, resulting in a large amount of data being transferred at once. This led to a variety of issues, including player disconnects and general lag within the game. We have since applied optimizations to improve these issues, and we expect stability to continue to improve in the coming days.
During the initial instability, some players experienced a loss of mounts or pets after attempting to add them to the new mount and pet interface. We have since resolved this issue and will continue to replace lost mounts and pets for players who have experienced this problem.
