My Warcraft year in review
Dec 29th
Psynister tagged me to do a “Warcraft – year in review” post a couple of weeks ago, but being in Christmas whirlwind mode, I decided to save it for an almost new year post (I figured it was apt anyway). Here are the questions/topics: My Warcraft Year in Review 1. What did you do in
Blatant filler content
Dec 23rd
I’m rushed off my feet at the moment, it’s 10:30pm and I’m just about to finish work for the day. While my stuff was saving/compiling I cooked my sushi rice and wrapped more presents, and earlier today I managed to squeeze in time to weed the back lawn and put fresh straw into the chicken
Offtopic: PC sloth leads to WoW headaches.

Q: It’s summer here and my computer seems to be overheating a lot. It’s slow to respond, and makes a grinding noise sometimes. When I play World of Warcraft, sometimes my game locks up and I get stuck on loading screens for ages. There seems to be a little bit of dust on the case
Should it all be BOA?
Dec 18th
Sorry for the lull, guys – I have a handful of posts I want to put up, but I’ve been really sick for a few days. I’m still not entirely sure what I caught, but I figure when it’s summer in the tropics and you have to go to bed with a hot water bottle
Haste in 3.3 – should I take Celestial Focus?
Dec 12th
For those not in the know, Gift of the Earth Mother has been redesigned, and the upshot is that we need a whole lot more haste to get to the haste soft cap – which is very important if you spend your time tossing out HoTs on as many people as possible. It means that
Rocketbear: Icecrown is all downhill from here.
Dec 9th
Quick update before I head to bed. Icecrown is a breath of fresh air. I’ve quite enjoyed it, although I do feel as though Lady Deathwhisper is a bit of a zzzfest for healing. Bit spammy. Gunship was much more fun than I anticipated. We didn’t get Saurfang down, which is disappointing – would have

Months behind!
Dec 8th
General Vezax down: 24 April 2009 . . . Yogg-Saron down: 7 December 2009 Well done, Inexorable – only 8 months behind It’s worth noting though that we are now 6/9 Ulduar hard modes in our first 2 nights of raiding, with the new Inex taking just 6 attempts to do Knock, Knock, Knock on
Inexorable guild is inexorable (returning to 25s)
Dec 6th
When I reformed the guild to do 10s and socialise, I said no more 25s. Weekend PUGs are fine.. but the stress and strain of running a 25man raiding guild is too great, and we wanted to avoid that. But since then, people started itching for 25s again. Our 25man PUG (part guild, part PUG)
PuG satisfaction
Dec 1st
I’m really looking forward to the random, cross-server PuG system. I love to PuG. Call me crazy, but I really do love it. What I don’t enjoy, though, is having to find groups. Even as a healer, even though it’s easy to “get” groups, because healers are in demand – I still find it tedious
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.
