RL PvP with bears: ur doin it wrong

Forgive me, I’m on a bit of a bear kick at the moment, having just got my bear form on Kiiva, and having fun with it (the header *does* say “predominantly” resto-flavoured, after all). By the way – it turns out that if you’ve done that bear form quest 6 or 7 times, you end

Night Elf bear forms

Night Elf bear forms have been released. I actually REALLY like the white bear in this series, so I feel better about being “stuck” with a bear that matches my hair colour. I still think linking directly to hair and skin colour is a little inflexible for people who are very particular about those elements

My thoughts on new forms announced

I’m late for work but here’s my two cents on the new druid forms changes:Why are they directly linked to our caster form appearance?What if I want Keeva to have white skin but I want a black bear?What if I want Kiiva to have blue hair but I don’t want a blue bear? Am I

The same, but different

Meet Kiiva. Kiiva is (as of tonight) a level 10 Night Elf druid. I didn’t quite manage to get bear form before the server went down, but that can be tomorrow’s project.A lot of people will probably think I’m nuts, but I thought it might be fun to reroll. Again. This makes druid number.. 5.

Jousting – help for beginners

I used to hate the jousting quests that are part of the Argent Tournament. For a while, I skipped them.. but it bugged me that they gave me so much trouble. I was irritated that a daily quest would take so long to do and often I would fail and have to start over.. yuck.

Cold turkey: Day.. what are we up to?

Ulduar screenies

I was saving this post for when we killed Yogg, but that isn’t going to happen now, so here they all are. Maybe I’ll get a 10 man Yogg instead sometime. NB: I don’t have shots of the first couple of bosses because I was stuck at work.Oops, apparently my Vezax picture isn’t up. I’ll

Break from hardcore raiding

This morning I made the announcement that we would be transitioning from a hardcore 25man guild to a casual 10man guild.It stings. I play this game to raid; I will always be a raid healer, it’s what I love. But it got to the point where I was spending every spare moment doing my Taz

I’m not dead, I feel happy

I’ve been neglecting you guys really badly. Probably not as badly as my Children’s Week orphans – I really need to stop flying off cliffs and forgetting there’s a small child following me…I still don’t really have time to write anything substantial. Working two jobs, plus some illness lately, plus a lot going on in
