Get Back to Fundamentals for Running Dungeons in Cataclysm

[Nov 29, 2010 | View Comments ] by: Jason Zimmerman

Daetur on the MMO-Champion Forums created an entry titled “What Wrath players need to know to not suck at Cata!” I found some good information in what he said, though I think it is less about sucking and more about getting back to the fundamentals of group play.

I’ve pulled out some of the key points from what Daetur said and I’ve added my own opinions here as well. Since I have been running…

As always, be sure to get the latest version if you’re going to try these out; out-of-date add-ons may not work at all, or worse, they may do something completely different to what you want.

New Orgrimmar Map and NPC Locations

[Nov 24, 2010 | View Comments ] by: Jason Zimmerman

Getting around Orgrimmar since The Shattering can be a little confusing at first. I wandered around aimlessly in search of NPC’s like the Flight Master, Justice Point Vendors, Bankers, Auctioneers, etc.

Since I searched and searched but couldn’t find any maps online that told me where to find the NPC’s in Orgrimmar that I was looking for, I’ve created a labeled starter map to help you find some of these key NPC’s in Orgrimmar…

The End of Azeroth As We Knew It: Do You Feel Fine?

[Nov 22, 2010 | View Comments ] by: Jason Zimmerman

We’ve known that this day would come. The day when Deathwing would rise from the earth, shattering it, causing cracks and tidal waves that will change the landscape of Azeroth forever.

How do you feel now that this day is about to arrive? For the most part I’ve been excited about the shattering and the changes that World of Warcraft is about to go through. It’s going to almost feel like a new game…

The Rated Battlegrounds FAQ

[Nov 18, 2010 | View Comments ] by: Jason Zimmerman

Blizzard has released a blue post giving us everything we wanted to know about Rated Battlegrounds. Well, everything they think we need to know about Rated Battlegrounds, because someone somewhere is cooking up an obscure question for the forums at this very moment.

For me personally I am really excited about the Rated Battlegrounds. I enjoy the experience of PvP battles with objectives more than the arena experience where you see who can kill the…

Fake Battle.Net Password Reset Emails You Need To Avoid

[Nov 16, 2010 | View Comments ] by: Jason Zimmerman

I was going through my junk email folder a couple days ago and noticed that I had gotten several emails from Blizzard that said that my Battle.net password had been reset and I would need to click the link below to get a new password.

At first I thought, “What the heck, how is that even possible?” But then I thought, “Wait, I just logged in to WoW and my password works just fine. What…
