I’m going to start blogging about my experience in the Cataclysm Beta. Since I have been fortunate enough to get access to the beta, I’ve decided to share my experience with all of you beyond just talking about it on the WoWphiles Podcast.

I’ll be bringing you my experiences and opinions, as well as screenshots and possibly video. I’m still not sure if I’ll do the video, but short video snippets might be fun.

My goal is to provide at least two posts per week devoted to my Cataclysm Beta experience. …

This is where I will attempt to keep our readers and listeners apprised of the add-ons which have been featured in the Emporium to date.

Segment 26: Leveling Guides

This week we’re going to look at leveling guides; specificly, Zygor’s Leveling Guide, and an alternative.

Let me start off by saying that I emphatically do NOT recommend Zygor’s Leveling Guide, and I’m not going to give you a link to the official Zygor site. If you still want it after listening to this segment, you can find it easily enough.

Lightheaded supports TomTom, MapNotes, and Cartographer2 and Cartographer3; by clicking coordinates shown in LightHeaded, you can automatically add a …

Segment 24: AutoEmote and AutoProfit

This week we’re going to look at two small add-ons; one just for fun, and one to help you get the junk out of your bags and put some jingles in your pocket. Both of these are considered outdated, but they continue to work and so I continue to use them. Remember to check the “Load out of date add-ons” box in the add-ons window before entering the world.

AutoEmote is a just-for-fun add-on which will automatically issue emotes back to the people who …

Segment 23: ArkInventory

This week I would like to tell you about a mod that will help you keep your bags organized, and also let you check all your various storage spaces on the realm when you are pretty sure you have an item, but can’t remember where you put it.

ArkInventory (or “AI”) as it comes “out of the box” allows you to have one large virtual bag instead of the vanilla WoW default of a bunch of smaller bags. Without any custom configuration on your part, it also …
