Censorship is fun!
Hey guys, heres a new Third Faction comic for your brain organs to digest. I figured it was about time to address this whole “censorship” in gaming issue by illustrating it in a humorous, comical, manner. Whether or not its humorous or comical is up for debate; but the issue itself is addressed. Enjoy! TTF - Manhunt 2 -MaTT

Christie Golden signing Saturday in Long Island

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Events, Fan stuff, Virtual selves, Blizzard, Interviews

Christie Golden (who, you’ll probably remember, wrote Arthas, the book our guys loved so much) will be signing copies of that book at a bookstore called the Book Revue in Huntington, NY this Saturday at 7pm. In a quick interview with Newsday there, she also talks about both her background in fantasy and sci-fi (she remembers the days when sci-fi and fantasy were seen as silly diversions rather than premises for multi-million dollar movies and videogames, as do most of us older nerds, probably) and her experience with WoW. She says that having the chance to jump in and virtually visit the actual setting of her books is a real plus when doing research — if she has a question about the layout of Stormwind, she can go over to that city and check it out herself.

If you’re in or near Long Island and are a Christie Golden fan or are looking for something Warcraft-y and fun to do on Saturday, there you go. She’s got more information on her blog about the signing (looks like she’ll be reading as well). If you do go, let us know how it went.

Filed under: Blizzard, PvP, Interviews, Battlegrounds

Blizzard’s Lead Content Designer Cory Stockton answered quite a lot of questions about the upcoming PvP changes in Patch 3.2. There are a lot, particularly the experience gains in Battlegrounds which also has deep implications in PvE as players can simply toggle experience gains off (any Level 60s up for Molten Core?). It’s a pretty lengthy interview and Stockton goes into detail with the new Isle of Conquest Battleground. Some highlights from the chat:

  • Experience gain in Battlegrounds is slightly slower than questing or grinding
  • Players can toggle experience gain on and off with a mere 10 Gold
  • There are plans to include greens and “the occasional blue item” at the end of each Battleground match (!) but won’t make it to Patch 3.2
  • The Isle of Conquest is in the Frozen Sea, North of Icecrown
  • Objectives in Isle of Conquest are captured exactly like flags in Arathi Basin — I totally called this wrong when I said it would probably be a numbers and proximity thing
  • Battlemaster Achievement isn’t likely to change (whew!) but Blizzard is considering what to do with the Achievements for the Isle of Conquest
  • Rated Battlegrounds are coming. Not quite soon(R), but an announcement will be made during BlizzCon
  • Blizzard plans “to deliver more Battlegrounds to the players as often as we can”

Oh, man. That last bit made me want to change my underwear. Blizzard is actually paying attention to Battleground enthusiasts, realizing that while Arenas are nice and all, a lot of players love the BGs, too. New Battlegrounds “as often as we can?” Yes, please! Head on over to the official site to read Stockton’s interview in full. Bombs, cannons, parachutes, angry Generals… 3.2 is shaping up to be one explosive patch, indeed.


a new 5, 10, and 25 man instance to WoW, and usher in a new 40-man battleground called the Isle of Conquest. WoW.com will have you covered every step of the way, from extensive PTR coverage through the official live release. Check out WoW.com’s Guide to Patch 3.2 for all the latest!

Filed under: Blizzard, Expansions, Interviews, Wrath of the Lich King

Now this is by no means the first time we’ve interviewed World of Warcraft’s Lead Developer Tom Chilton (aka Kalgan) but we though with the recent release of Patch 3.1, this would be the perfect time to sit down with him and get the 411 on Blizzard’s plans for their latest patch.

WoW Insider: Blizzard seem to be treating each major patch as more of a mini expansion, what are the reasons for this?

Tom Chilton: I would say the biggest reason is because we’re always pushing ourselves to do as much as we can in every patch. We’re never really satisfied with what we have in the patch versus what we didn’t have. Maybe the developers get a little out of control - but in a good way as that’s good for players. More than anything else we want to make sure that in a patch we have content for everyone.

We feel like one of the things we didn’t do so well in the past was to deliver content for everyone, we would deliver content for different parts of the player base at any given time like a 25-person raid or a 10-person raid or here’s a new battleground, back in the day of Arathi Basin. However we didn’t really hit everyone at the same time so we’re trying harder to do that while at the same time maintain our pace of Expansions … our blindingly rapid pace of Expansions.

Warlocks! Once weekly, Nick Whelan delves into the despicable underbelly of Dalaran to consort with cabalist casters, who help him channel Beelzebub into a fresh Blood Pact.

When I first took over this column, I remember discussing with several people my worries about the content I wouldn’t be able to provide. At my best I’m a casual raider, and my PVP experience is limited to that time I did With a Little Helper from My Friends. Certainly I’m passionate about the class, can write better than a few other people I’ve seen published, and usually play enough to have some Warlock-specific ramble prepared every week. Still, I wanted to find some way of providing content for PVP oriented locks that they would at least find entertaining–even if it was simply footage of me getting one-shot by a level 75 tree Druid.

Then last week one of my readers left a comment suggesting I find a kickass PVP Warlock and interview them. The next few hours are kind of a blur. I remember banging my head against the wall a couple times, and waking up in a hospital, but that’s not important.Interviewing a Warlock skilled in PVP could make for some interesting column content. So, I went to the armory to do some hunting.

World of Warcraft players of all shapes and sizes - from the renowned to the relatively anonymous, the remarkable to the player next door. Tip us off to players you’d like to hear more about.

WoW.com’s Adam Holisky has been itching to take a WoW course for quite a while now — so Adam, this 15 Minutes of Fame is for you. While some people still don’t get that playing WoW doesn’t lead to becoming a college dropout, there are plenty of others who recognize the game to be a rich resource not only as entertainment but even as a venue for anthropological research.

And now, this: “Warcraft: Culture, Gender and Identity,” a credit-awarding class being offered at Inver Hills Community College in Minnesota. At the helm of this innovative course is Landon Pirius, Ph.D., also known as Nodnal the Gnome Warrior of Blackwater Raiders-US. No stranger to the convergence of WoW and academia, Dr. Pirius wrote his doctoral dissertation on “Massively Multiplayer Online Virtual Environments: A Potential Locale for Intercultural Training.” We didn’t go quite that deep in this interview; we simply visited with him about his wildly successful college course and how it’s helping shape modern educational methodologies.

And before you ask — yes, Dr. Pirius returned the answers to our interview questions in impeccable outline form.

WoW.com meets Michele Boyd of The Guild at E3

Filed under: Shaman, Analysis / Opinion, Events, Fan stuff, Odds and ends, Interviews, BlizzCon


World of Warcraft isn’t actually at this year’s E3 — Activision Blizzard has a great big booth with lots of cool games in it, but none of them are Blizzard’s. We guess they’re saving everything for the big event at BlizzCon. But we still found someone cool to meet on the floor — The Guild’s Michele Boyd (you can see her here in the last Season 2 episode) was working on the show floor for THQ, and was kind enough to stop by and talk to me before she went off to actually, you know, see some videogames (we heard there’s some here, but we’ve been too busy writing about all the cool stuff we’re seeing on Joystiq and Massively).

As you can see above, she’s hosting a series on Discovery Channel (and she’s got the science chops to do it), she’s currently rocking an Enhancement Shaman (in Outland, not Northrend — what can I say, I was confused by her awesomeness), and she’s got some good thoughts on what’s up in the next season of The Guild. Big thanks again to her for chatting with us, enjoy the video!

Christie Golden signing Saturday in Long Island

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Events, Fan stuff, Virtual selves, Blizzard, Interviews

Christie Golden (who, you’ll probably remember, wrote Arthas, the book our guys loved so much) will be signing copies of that book at a bookstore called the Book Revue in Huntington, NY this Saturday at 7pm. In a quick interview with Newsday there, she also talks about both her background in fantasy and sci-fi (she remembers the days when sci-fi and fantasy were seen as silly diversions rather than premises for multi-million dollar movies and videogames, as do most of us older nerds, probably) and her experience with WoW. She says that having the chance to jump in and virtually visit the actual setting of her books is a real plus when doing research — if she has a question about the layout of Stormwind, she can go over to that city and check it out herself.

If you’re in or near Long Island and are a Christie Golden fan or are looking for something Warcraft-y and fun to do on Saturday, there you go. She’s got more information on her blog about the signing (looks like she’ll be reading as well). If you do go, let us know how it went.

The Colosseum: Merlizzel

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Interviews, Arena, The Colosseum

The Colosseum takes us inside the world of the Gladiator (Brutal, Vengeful, Merciless, and otherwise), to interview some of the top Arena fighters in the battlegroups. Our goal is to bring a better understanding of the strategy, makeup, and work that goes into dueling it out for fame, fortune, and Netherdrakes.

This is not Merlizzel’s first season in the Arena. In fact, during Season 5, this Discipline Priest was frustrated with his inability to achieve Gladiator.

Now, however, he’s placed 11th place in his battlegroup for 2v2, 38th in his battlegroup for 3v3, and 3rd place in his battlegroup for 5v5. Clearly, the changes of 3.1 have had an astounding difference for Merlizzel.

Since Merlizzel’s enjoying a graduation this weekend, he was only able to answer similar questions to the basic package we ask all Arena fighters. However, Merlizzel definitely spent a lot of time expounding about specific tactics he and his partner use in the Arena. Check out what he had to say after the cut.

Hey guys, heres a new Third Faction comic for your brain organs to digest. I figured it was about time to address this whole “censorship” in gaming issue by illustrating it in a humorous, comical, manner.

Filed under: WoW Social Conventions, Virtual selves, Features, Interviews, 15 Minutes of Fame

World of Warcraft players of all shapes and sizes - from the renowned to the relatively anonymous, the remarkable to the player next door. Tip us off to players you’d like to hear more about.

If you think “the furry fandom” sounds like a bunch of players who like playing Tauren, you’d be right — to a tip-of-the-iceberg degree. This week’s 15 Minutes of Fame looks at a often maligned, frequently mocked yet little understood hobby and lifestyle: the furry fandom, or furries. Furries (or “furs”) are fans of fictional, anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics. Together, these furries form the furry fandom, a community of artists, writers, roleplayers and general fans of the furry art forms who gather on the internet and at conventions. Yes, these are cosplayers in fur suits - but there’s a lot more to it, as this week’s profile will show.

Now, before we proceed: Yes, there’s a segment of the furry community that’s into erotic art. While the media have had the proverbial field day with this furry fodder, the sex-focused furs are by no means an especially representative segment of furry fandom. Even if they were, this profile is not headed there. Instead, let’s head back to the WoW.com context of the furry fandom: a World of Warcraft player (and frequent WoW.com commenter) who expresses himself emotionally and spiritually through his furry persona.

EDIT: As always, hateful, insulting and trollish posts will get deleted. You don’t have to agree, but you can disagree without resorting to personal attacks. Multiple offenders will be banned, k thx ~ The Management

The World of Warcraft Two-Sided World Map 24″ X 32″

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

More than just a map, this giant lay of the land is a work of art. At 24″ x 32″, this two-sided map makes a great wall hanging in any room. On one face, the map shows all flight paths, including the Horde, Alliance, Neutral and Druid-only travel points. On the flip side is an unfettered map of Azeroth displaying a beautifully rendered view of the topography of the islands. In the World of Warcraft, knowing where you are and where you’re going is a matter of life and death.

Customer Review: HMMMMM?
It is a map Of the OG WOW….But it does look too much like a com. map and not an awesome laminated double sided map of Azeroth!Look at the curser for gods sake!!
