A common complaint among players in World of Warcraft is the AFK'ers in Battlegrounds. The AFK'ers would just join the battle and wait in the bunkers or the cave to see which side will win; if it's their group, they quickly join in to reap the rewards.

"One at a time please." If you're a first time World of Warcraft Shaman and found that the global cooldown for totem popping (sorry, it's this writer's expression) is a trifle too much, you might want to revel in a little Shammy lore. If the true count of deployed elemental totems eludes your mental grasp, experienced Shammies say you get to drop one totem for each element and that is all.

Whether Blizzard can actually achieve its plan of releasing a new World of Warcraft expansion every year remains to be seen. Wrath of the Lich King opens up the new continent of Northrend and brings with it an increase in level cap (to 80), the introduction of Hero classes with the Death Knight, siege weaponry and destructible buildings in Battlegrounds and further additions to keep fans hooked forever.

Congratulations to the winners of the dance, sound-alike, and costume contests for BlizzCon 2007!

The neutral city of Halaa is prized for its strategic importance to both factions. As a highly visible target, with its own unique rewards, the city is the focus for the world PvP that occurs in Nagrand. We've updated our World of Warcraft Guide with a new tips page on Halaa-based PvP combat.

Are you addicted to WoW? Warcraft addictions seem to be fairly common. I’m definitely not saying there is anything wrong with video game addictions. We all need to have at least one addiction or two in life. Video game addiction is better for you than say an addiction to crack or meth, plus video games don’t turn your lips purple, at least in most cases anyway.

A variety of textures have mysteriously vanished in the 2.2 patch, leaving behind a hot pink replacement as Cprompt tells us: The pink texture means the designer who created that item forgot to assign it a texture map. I've passed the item along to our designers. It should get fixed in the next PTR patch. Thanks for the bug report.

Of the three rewards coming to the TCG loot cards, this Spectral Tiger Mount probably got the most attention-- not only is it a sweet looking mount (ok, it's a freaking amazing looking mount)

"Why do we only have four battlegrounds in World of Warcraft?" has been a consistently popping question in the WoW forums. You'd think that with all the complaints players have been fielding, this would be the last thing they'd be asking for, but apparently some just want more battlegrounds.

As most will have noticed by now, there are quite a few issues that have to be addressed in World of Warcraft for patch 2.1.3. Before you go reporting these problems to a GM, you might want to read through this first lest you find yourself wasting your precious time.

We unfortunately don't know much about what's coming next, but we do know one thing that's scheduled to show up, at least before the next expansion: some sort of housing. All the Blue hints point to guild housing, but player housing is an idea that's been tossed around as well.

In the next major content patch, the combat rating, resilience, will also reduce the damage dealt by damage over time (DoT) effects. As it currently stands, each new tier of equipment adds to the amount of damage DoT abilities have, yet that damage is not mitigated through combat ratings found on typical equipment. This change will help ensure that DoT effects do not scale too well compared to other damage mechanics.

Mania's Arcania, which is the new home of the Petopia blog, has a really interesting look at a frustrating problem for hunters-- leveling a lowbie pet with a high level character. Say you're 70 and you want a Ghost Saber. Because the Ghost Saber spawns at only 19 or 20, the only way to currently level it is to basically let the hunter tank (or kite, more likely), and simply bring the pet along for the ride.
