Kiiva progress update!
Jun 30th
Kiiva is now 70 and in Northrend. It’s good to be back. Look a little familiar? I guess I just really like that spot overlooking Daggercap Bay.. My bank alt has 1700g, and I think I will easily be able to afford epic flying, cold weather flying, and dual spec by time time I need
More "casual" stuff; latest big changes
Jun 30th
I opened an enormous, squirmy can of worms when I posted about “Casual vs Hardcore”. Not that I was the first to do that, of course.And as I mentioned, Blizzard is clearly making it their new direction to offer up more of the game to what most people refer to as “casual” players (although the

I’m going to be chatting with the guys from The Rawrcast Show on the 4th of July! 4th of July with Keeva on Rawrcast I’ll have to double and triple check my timezones, but I think that 4PM CST on Saturday is 7AM Sunday (GMT+10) for me. So I’m gonna be rockin’ the podcast in
What did I miss?
Jun 25th
Wow, gone a few days and my reader is jammed with entries about 3.2 patch notes, set bonuses, and changes. That’s cool though, everyone covered it nicely so I don’t have to! One huge change pertinent to my previous entry about “casual” vs “hardcore” is the change to the badge system: Any dungeons that previously
Short holiday!
Jun 19th
I’m going to the beach for a week for a badly needed holiday.Normally I would slip out silently and nobody would probably know – but I have received a lot of emails lately, particularly about Grid functionality, so I wanted to let everyone know that I haven’t disappeared, I’ll be back in a few days.I
Counter-rant: Not all hardcore raiders are a$$holes, you know.
Jun 16th
Jacemora wrote a piece on being tired of the term “casual”, and on being tired of hearing hardcore raiders complain that the current content is too easy.Personally, I am tired of people lumping all of the “hardcore raiders” into a group that is apparently a bunch of egotistical jerks who care only about themselves –
More transport changes

Hot on the heels of changes to mounts and class forms, Blizzard has also announced more portals and an extra zeppelin route, to make journeying easier. In the next major content patch we will be adding a few methods of improved transportation to areas of interest while leveling.It is time for the denizens of Azeroth

Levelling: merely a nuisance?
Jun 10th
I’m having a lot of fun levelling Kiiva, my baby elf druid. She is 44 now, after two weeks. Not bad, I think, for someone who has done it alone, with no group questing, no instances, and no help.As of right now, here are Kiiva’s stats:3 days, 9 hours played (over 2 weeks)Level 44288/300 Herbalism225/300
Easy pocket money for druids 10+
Jun 7th
Here’s a little tip for everyone, but it’s particularly good for druids because of our Teleport: Moonglade spell.There is a vendor in Moonglade named Lorelae Wintersong. She sells the recipe for Runed Arcanite Rod. This enchanting rod is required by all enchanters to be able to progress to higher levels of enchanting. The problem is
My name is Emma and I live in Australia. I’ve been gaming on and off since I was about 11. I won’t tell you exactly how long ago that was, let’s just say long enough.
