Part I: Beginning
Once you get to level 20 some parts of your leveling will become easier, and some will not. The first change that you are going to find is that having the ability to teleport all over the world is absolutely amazing. It’s probably my favorite trait of the class overall. For that matter, [...]

So I’ve officially come around, I am switching my support to Garrosh Hellscream for the upcoming cataclysm Horde Warchief elections…

Wait, who am I kidding? Garrosh needs no election he smashes the competition.

In sticking with my normal routine here, I’m going to break the Mage leveling down into smaller blocks rather than lumping them all together. I already have a Mage sitting at level 80 that I have not bothered to play in about eight months, and I am currently leveling another mage on my wife’s Alliance [...]

This morning I found a link from GravityDK on Twitter to an article at pwnwear.com discussing a survey about what motivates you to play the game. I took it myself and was somewhat surprised by some of the results, so I decided I would share it with you as well.
