Quick question: does anyone know if there is another website, besides Curse, where you can download MRP? A guildie of mine has computer issues and it won't download from Curse. Apparently it takes him to the "If your download doesn't start in 3 seconds..." but never actually downloads. Figured I'd put that out there in case anyone knew of a way to overcome that?
He was thinking of just getting an account on Curse, to see if that would help. Does anyone know if it would?

Thanks in advance!

I've been thinking of subscribing to Curse Premium, as the $2-odd-dollar a month cost is a far better use of my time than manually updating my addons.

However, I'm worried about security. I'd also like to get some feedback from people who have Curse (either free or premium).

Many, many moons ago, there was a comic floating around the internet, something about what I believe it was a pair Draenei and human priests or mages arguing over a part of boots that dropped in a raid? Does anybody know what I am talking about? I'm not having much luck googling; probably using the wrong word. :/

Ok, I'm getting really frustrated with my DPS and I can't for the life of me figure what I'm doing wrong. This was my last dungeon, with the gear I have in my armory right now. (I should note that the tank was right above me in DPS). I would think with the gear I have I should be doing better DPS than that. (I'm aware it's not enchanted, I'm working on that). My DPS was lingering around 11.8k - 12.2k the entire time (this was in HoT). My usual rotation is MF, IS, then wrath or starfire depending on which is in the eclipse. On bosses I add FF, SF, and FoN. I've been following the guides on EJ and such about gemming and reforging, so I'm not sure if it's my rotation or what. Can anyone give some advice or see anything with my gear that I may be missing, even if it's just an enchant thing.

I need advice on how to go about setting up a guild event in a way that's going to be the easiest.

I started toying with the idea, basically, after playing this game with my family at New Years, and the recent post about ice breakers really nudged me toward it.

The idea is to somewhere post a list of questions and have the guild answer them semi-anonymously - The officers would know the answers, but not the guildies. Probably a week or so after the questions went up (some guildmates are less than fastidious about checking the LJ - YES I KNOW WHO YOU ARE), we would then assemble...in raid or vent. The questions would be read aloud, as well as subsequent answers, and then the guildies would have the chance to guess who provided which answer. Some would be WoW-related, some would be more along the lines of what you see in the link above. These questions would be for the player behind the character. I may eventually do one for the characters themselves, sort of a 'Who am I?' or 'Two Truths and a Lie' thing.

My question is...if you were doing this, how would you go about keeping the answers anonymous? We have a livejournal which I could post the questionnaire to, but... If I mark the comments to be screened... I'm not a moderator of the LJ, just an officer in the guild. Could I see the comments made on my post in a LJ community, even if the comments were screened? Or can only the moderators see screened comments?

Is there an easier way to do this???

Ravenholdt Reroll Night is about to begin! Roll a new level one and head to the Wyvern's Tail anytime between now and 10pm EST to join in on the fun. The server's community has been overwhelmingly supportive, so I hope we have a good turnout of new characters!

hey guys! its been a while since i've last posted.
had a couple down times during work this week, so i cracked down and decided to work on some pinups.
only got the lineart for my undead finished, and i just started inking a draenei girl so i'll post it once i get it done.
thought you guys would enjoy :D
(also not quite sure if this is SFW or not..all goodies are hidden but there's a part of a side boob...if you look carefully)
so lets just keep it as (S-NSFW)just to be safe...

Hey ladies, I know it's not UI Mod Monday, but I'm impatient.. xD

I've been using ElvUI for quite some time now, and for a number of reasons, the mod has become increasingly aggravating. I can't remove the raid buff reminder next to the mini map. I can't get certain buffs (Beacon of Light, trinket procs like from the Soulshifter Vortex/Spidersilk Spindle/Seal of the Seven Signs, Time Warp/Ancient Hysteria, and more) to show up in the class timers, and the debuff timers my target unitframe shows are organized seemingly at random and often don't display important ones (such as showing Devouring Plague and Shadow Word: Pain, but not Vampiric Touch). I've also had other issues (such as the stance bar not saving its position, no matter how many times I "lock" it), but whenever I make a post on the ElvUI forums, I'm either completely ignored or told my question is stupid. Obviously this poor treatment has disillusioned me towards the entire addon.

Then there's the fact that I love how clean and minimalist it is, but I'm also just getting flat-out bored with the plain grey boxes! I get so envious of people with their SexyMap-modded minimaps and such... but trying to put together my own UI is daunting! I'm looking into using Bartender and maybe Shadowed Unit Frames (though not for raid/party frames - I have grid for that), but do you ladies have other recommendations? Also, what about a chat mod? I hate how clunky the standard Blizzard chat screens look, but I do need to be able to keep a dark background in the chat boxes (I've got terrible vision and trying to pick out colored text from the colors of Azeroth is near impossible). I also like how ElvUI compresses all the menus into the minimap, accessed by middle-clicking, but I don't know if that would be possible to retain with other addons.

Maybe it's just a product of my general feeling of stagnation and frustration with my Masters research, but SOMETHING needs to change!

Anyway, if anybody has recommendations or advice for someone who's new to setting up their own snazzy-looking UI, please provide! I really know nothing about lua editing, so suggestions that don't involve much of that (or that require it only minimally) are preferable. xD If I could also see some screenshots of other folks UIs (I've been browsing the addons/mod: general tag, but hey, more is better) for inspiration, that'd be great!

Hi Ladies,

Thought I would troll for an opinion on the Argent Dawn EU server, I'm thinking of rolling an alt on a new server and was looking at this one. Anyone run over there that can give me the insider scoop?

So, because of my work schedule, I have missed transmog tuesday for almost a month running. It's not up when I leave for work, and by the time I get home, it's so far gone that any questions I have are like to be overlooked. So I apologize in advance, mods, for breaking form, but my good-fu is failing me.

What I am trying to find is a pair of cloth shoes that make it look like the wearer is not wearing any shoes. The venomshroud/eldr'naan shoes are close, but are an ugly green that yes, you can see under the robes. Does anybody know of anything that might be close to what I am looking for? I have a little priest who is always barefoot ICly.

THIS WEEK I LEARNED THE VALUABLE LESSON OF ASKING BEFORE BEING PUGGED INTO A RAID IF IT'S PROGRESSION. ONE TIME 2 HOURS ON YORSAHJ AND YESTERDAY 3 HOURS ON SPINE OF DEATHWING WITHOUT DOWNING ANYTHING BEFORE IS FRUUUUUSTRATING. AND I'M WAY TO SHY TO JUST BAIL OUT :(

ON THE SAME NOTE, BEING A FIRE MAGE ON SPINE IS FRUSTRATING LIKE WOAH. I HAD NO IDEA!

Dragon Snacks (Horde guild on Kilrogg, PvE) is recruiting due to the fact that we have lost several members to SWTOR. . We are a very casual raiding guild that emphasizes socializing and fun over progression. However we are looking for people who would like to raid. 
Dragon Snacks is a group of easy going, friendly, helpful folks with a sincere interest in mastery of their class, what ever game we are playing. The average age of Dragon Snacks is greater than that of the average gamer. Most Snacks are working people with jobs, families and lives that MMO's are just a part of, not the other way around.

Dragon Snacks won't likely be the first guild into new encounters or move through content faster than, or even keep up with those who enjoy that most. We raid as a guild for the fun and the challenge.  There are no attendance requirements, and raid slots are awarded in a way that anyone interested gets a chance to go. The result is that we progress a little slower but we end up with more stable raid force and folks can take a night (or a month) off without crippling the guild.

We care more about the player than we do about the character. Level and class are not as important as attitude. We don't tolerate drama and public chat channels are restricted to PG-13 topics. We don't require you run any add-ons (though you are welcome to do so) and we think figuring out our own strategies for fights is part of the fun. We value teamwork over raw DPS, and we believe that helping each other enjoy the games we play is the greatest reward of all."
If progression is a priority for you, you are not a fit for Dragon Snacks. But if you are a casual, social player who wants to see some endgame content, we might just be your guild.

* Application process is entirely about FIT. We don't even ask about your class/spec.
* Guild is female friendly, with many female members (including 2 of our regular raiders)
* We do not research strategies for raid fights beforehand; we prefer to figure them out ourselves

Guild website is here: http://dragonsnacks-wow.guildlaunch.com/. If interested, there is an application on the website, then look for me (Adryanna or Caileth) or Llooni  online.
We would really love to have some awesome players come join us. We are stuck on Dragon Soul and although its not a progression based guild, our current raiders would like to make past the first boss.

I'm getting so sick of it. The pugs have been so dumb recently, but if you get a bad group and drop, YOU get punished.

What do you do with a tank that cant hold aggro with TRASH let alone a boss? Die a lot and run up an armor bill, or take a 30 minutes deserter debuff?

I have been trying to gear up/learn to play my resto druid. She has the gear (I think) to be able to pull the heals needed in 5 mans and raids, but I feel I am lacking in skill. The few 5 mans I tried to run were failures. I had a ton of trouble keeping up the group. I jumped into some lfr's, but .. meh. I was the healer that other healers hate. I tried my best, but still managed to hold down the bottom of the healing chart. I was also having a really hard time managing my mana. I seem to oom really quickly.

I have done some reading on resto druiding, but feel I'm not quite doing it right. I did a firelands with some guildies the other day and wasn't satisfied with my performance, but don't know what to do to fix it.

This is the log: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/abh37tp3ptxiug5t/

and this is me: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/blackrock/Megaerra/advanced

What I tried to do was:

* Keep 3 stacks of lifebloom up on the tank. Refreshing with nourish or another LB
* I use regrowth on someone taking damage when I have a free one from the LB proc
* I have a power aura set up to track my mastery buff. I tried to keep that buff up.
* I rejuv the raid right before periods of damage (when I could), I tried to keep rejuv up on the tanks. I used rejuv on anyone hurt, but not super hurt.
* I used nourish as my filler spell
* I used Tranquility when the whole raid was damaged.

*** I wasn't really sure when to use Tree of Life, or what spells were best, and why.

I guess my immediate questions, other than HALP how do I do it right, are:
* When is Tree of Life best used, and what spells are best?
* Is my spell selection/usage correct, or does it need tweaking?
* How much wild growth spam is too much?
* How do I avoid ooming so quickly?
* Is my spec ok? What about glyph choices? Should I spec into dispel magic?

Thank you so much for any help.

I may have spoken too soon when I posted the Guild Leaders recruitment posting here. The guild was everything I had been looking for the last year or so. After telling him about my post (we were encouraged to spread the word) some disturbing conversation occurred...

( Cut for sexism )

So now my conundrum is what to do. This guild is exactly what I was looking for goal wise. Do I stick it out or attempt to start one of my own? I'm leaning towards doing my own similar guild (Horde) on another server (Wyrmrest Accord, Proudmore, or Nessingwary are my thoughts at the moment).

The general idea would be the same..*Get nearly every achievement from every dungeon, raid, heroic, hardmode, etc, etc.* First level to 60, stop exp, raid MC thru AQ. Once cleared, we then do the same with BC content, then wrath, etc. A FULL World of Warcraft AT LEVEL clear, from tier 1 to 13. Hard-modes and Heroics alike! We can only progress to the next tier after our current one is fully cleared. I'm thinking raiding 2x per week, but that will be up to members. If we can get two groups it will be fantastic. We will try and accommodate schedules the best we can. The guild WILL be run democratically and all suggestions will be open for discussion and vote.

Here are the rules I am considering...
1.) DKs and Pallies allowed. I saw that was a bit of a controversy so if you want a DK to run Molten Core more power to you!
2.) No RAFs or BOAs. There is no rush. Level as slow as you like. One idea I had was completing Loremaster as we go.
3.) No higher ilvl gear/enchants/gems than what we are currently progressing thru.
4.) Limited help from higher level toons. Bags, gathering mats, and some starter cash ok, grinding gear isn't.
5.) Be kind to yourself, your guild mates, and your server community. Always remember there is a person driving that toon.
6.) No hate or trigger speech.

I also thought if we ended up on a rp server we could have an rp officer to organize events and if you are into pvp the same thing. Try to experience the whole world!

If any one is interested, please comment here with thoughts, server recommendations, etc. or you can e-mail me directly at lisa@contradiktion.com

Alright so I've finally gotten to 84 on my Frost DK and I'm seriously 3 bars away from 85. My first 85 btw so this is all new to me. I'm in Twilight Highlands and I'm 60/95 on the quests there but all of a sudden I can't find anymore quests to do. I've been flying all over TH (even got the exploration achievement)for the past 30-45 minutes looking for these quests and occasionally running randoms when I can. I'm getting so frustrated with this questing area right now.

Yesterday is when I entered Twilight Highlands and twice during 2 of the difference cut scenes (the eye one and the one where you drop into the octopus looking thing) the game disconnected on me and when I logged back on each time I ened up in some random ass place with 1HP. I'm not sure if I missed something important after those two things or what. These are the areas I have done already though:

- Dragonmaw Port
- Bloodgulch (I've actually done some of these quests twice already)
- The Black + Twilight Breech
- The Gullet + Glopgut's Hollow
- Maw of Madness
- Krazzworks
- Highbank

I know I'm missing these: Vermillion Redoubt, Dragonmaw Pass + Grim Batol area, & Obsidian Forest
Although I have no clue how to start them and where the quest givers are to start them. I have a feeling it has to do with when I got kicked from the game those 2 times.

Seriously I'm so frustrated at this point. Like it just had to happen right at those last 3 bars. I could have been 85 by now at the pace I was going had I not hit this road bump here.

So yeah, if this has happened to any of you how did you finally move on? I've tried downloading Carbonite but I really don't get how the hell it works and it keeps trying to send me to Thrall to help him kill Deathwing and other places outside of Twilight Highlands. Any suggestions?

Alright so I figured out the problem. It was from when it glitched after the cut scene. I had to do the aid thrall in killing deathwing quest before moving on. So I googled it and I cleared my cache, went back to the Madness at the Maw or whatever it's called died and then it actually worked that time (btw I abandoned The Worldbreaker first). Finally got it figured out in case this happened to any of you!

Commissions are still open, and the list is currently empty! Looking for something special for Lunar Festival? This is the place! If you're interested, feel free to drop a comment here and I'll get back to you.



This typically costs $25, but I'm currently offering them for $17. The file is 1280x1024, and these typically don't take a long time to complete. If you're interested, leave a comment here! More examples can be found at http://neopariahstudios.blogspot.com

Ask Mr. Robot wants me to reforge my Stalk of Corruption from 106 Haste to Spirit. But when I go to the reforger, there's no option to change anything (to reforge or remove a reforge). Am I doing something wrong, or is Ask Mr. Robot just confused? I'm guessing it's Mr. Robot and not me, since I've never had a problem before, but I wanted to ask. I don't know if it makes a difference, but it's enchanted with Power Torrent.

Hi there!

Those excellent gnomes over at dear_gnome recommended that I repost this here.

I'm currently putting together a third year undergraduate research project for my BSc in Computer Games Enterprise (Which is like the Computer Games Technology course with more units on operating business enterprises) at the University of Portsmouth in "sunny" Hampshire, England. For my final year thesis, I'm studying team building skills in virtual worlds with WoW as a sort of case study.

The questionnaire I've put together does not ask for any personal information (Names or emails), but does ask for a character name and server.

The University of Portsmouth's data protection policy can be read here.

The questionnaire is located here.

Inquiries or problems can be emailed here. I'll also be periodically checking my LJ PMs.

Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it!

Hello ladies and gents!

I've always liked PVP, but only in the organized sense: Battlegrounds! (Though I'll admit when I played on PVP servers I was quite amused to win at world PVP, too.)

Seeing as how I tend to lean toward solo play/random dungeons/raid finder, I've never had the chance to check out a rated battleground team. So here I have some questions:

1.) Anyone have a rated battleground team? If so, what do you think of it? Was it hard to get enough people? Do you keep a schedule like a progressive raiding guild would? Is there a rated battleground you enjoy the most?

2.) I know that resil is pretty big still, but what other stats are PVP-only? Armor/spell pen?

3.) Arena or Rated Battlegrounds? Which do you like more?

4.) To those that enjoy PVP seriously or casually, what is your FAVORITE PVP class/spec and why? I spent a lot of time PVPing on a hunter, but I found I really enjoyed PVPing on a frost DK, too.

Hello dearest community!

I come with a healing druid equipment question. So I had equipped "Cord of Lost Hope" for a while now. Yesterday, I finally got enough valor points together to buy a new belt: "Belt of Universal Curing". It has 1 more gem slot and 40 intellect more than my old belt. Now here's the part I don't get at all: Upon equipping my supposed-to-be-awesome new belt, I found I lost 2K mana from my mana pool. I've looked through everything I could think of (mastery, talents, etc.) but I can't, for the life of me, figure out why I lose mana when I equip a belt with more intellect on it. I'm lost. Help?

Problem solved! My meta gem got deactivated...

Please see my new posting on this guild...
http://wow-ladies.livejournal.com/15861823.html

Yes that's right, as the title says, we are doing the ultimate challenge!

*Get nearly every achievement from every dungeon, raid, heroic, hardmode, etc, etc.*

is currently recruiting all classes Horde side on Crushridge (US PST)!

We will first level to 60, stop exp, raid MC thru AQ. Once cleared, we then do the same with BC content, then wrath, etc. I'm talking about a FULL World of Warcraft LEGIT clear, from tier 1 to 13. Hard-modes and Heroics alike! We can only progress to the next tier after our current one is fully cleared. There will 2 raid groups forming. Expect at least 3 nights/week raiding. Our PST raid times are 7:30-11ish server M-F (days to be announced later). Our EST raid times are 4-8 PM server M-F (days to be announced later)

This guild would def not be for the casual raider. Expect this to take nearly 18 months or more. But imagine once we reach current content.. to have a guild that has literally been through it all and has formed a tight-knit atmosphere of unstoppable progression.

Here would be the rules:
-no DKs until wrath content
-no help from higher levels during raid progression
-no higher ilvl gear/enchants/gems than what we are currently progressing thru
-no reforging until cata

-all races are allowed
-glyphs are allowed
-paladins are allowed thru vanilla
-boa and raf are fine while leveling

Talk to anyone in the guild for an invite. We are currently mass recruiting. Will filter our raid groups at a later date. My toon is Cesare.

The guild just started and so far everyone seems really nice. Vent is definately mature though.

So, a few posts ago, people were discussing what titles that they like the most.  Here I pose a different question:

What title would you like to see? 

I personally desire one that is a combination of Exalted with the Violet Eye and Exalted with the Kirin Tor--call me "Magus/Magna."  Cause wouldn't that be awesome?  Magus <name>.  That'd be bitchin'. XD

Not like I can petition Blizz for ret-conning a title.  Still would be cool.

http://us.battle.net/blizzcon/en/blog/4338369/2012_Battlenet_World_Championship_Event-1_25_2012#blog

WTF. O.O

This gave me a chuckle, more so because I've had very, very, very important DPS like this in my parties before.

So, amid happydancing over having finished Loremaster, and being slightly sad at putting away my Ambassador title, I got to looking over the startlingly long list of titles I've collected and realized most of them I've never "worn" even once! Some of them make me smile (Jenkins - that was fun) and some of them make me want to bang my head on the desk (Associate Professor... gah, archaeology...) And some of them I'm kind of sad to have never had them see the light of day. (Guardian of Cenarius...)

How do YOU choose? Do you base it on how much work it was to achieve it? Or a title that suits your character for some reason? Or something else entirely?

Hello, wow_ladies! I've only been playing WoW since the summer & am finally about to hit the level 20 cap for my starter account. I'm planning on upgrading to a paid account in the next few weeks or so & I would like to find a casual/social guild on the Alliance side of Silvermoon-US. Basically, I've been soloing until now & would love to find some WoW friends.

I tend to play WoW very sporadically (usually a couple nights a week for an hour or two in the late evening, sometimes more) & mostly just run about questing. I'm very much a noob, especially in terms of PVP (the last time I did Warsong Gulch, I spent the majority of the session dying, resurrecting, & dying again before I regained mana).

I'm looking for a fun, casual/social guild of friendly, respectful players who are willing to help a noob learn the game, don't mind sporadic play, & enjoy questing/achievements. I'm a bit shy IRL & online when meeting new people, so I might not be as active on chat at first. (I might eventually want to try raiding/PVP when I know what I'm doing. Possibly.)

Thank you!

(Here's my holy priest: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/silvermoon/Serenlinnaea/advanced.)

This is a follow-up to my previous post here.

Who: Anyone interested in participating in or watching RP, regardless of experience. 

What: An casual in-character gathering of newly rolled level ones and any Ravenholdt server natives who care to join. There is no predetermined plotline, but the event organizers will be initiating walk-up RP. You can engage with them and with each other as much or as little as you like.

Where: US RP-PvP server Ravenholdt, in Orgrimmar's Valley of Honor, in and around an inn called The Wyvern's Tail. Any server native warlock or passenger mount owner who can transport characters from starting zones will be loved, otherwise directions will be provided if needed. Special thanks to arwydd for being the first to suggest this location!

When: Friday, January 27, 7:00pm - 10:00pm EST (4pm - 7pm PST). You can stay late or leave early as you please.

Why: To foster interaction in the server's pre-existing RP community, to provide a cross-server meeting place for all roleplayers, and to welcome and encourage beginners and the roleplay-curious in a friendly, low stress environment.

How: On or around Friday evening, create a new character on Ravenholdt. Make sure to pick a Horde race, but avoid Goblins due to their phased starting zone. You can reroll a character you play elsewhere or start a brand new one. All your character needs is a reason to be in Orgrimmar (the Lunar Festival is a great excuse). Characters of any level who are already on the server are also welcome.

As soon as you log on, type "/join Horde". This channel is used by Ravenholdt's RP community, and the event's organizers will also be hanging out in here. It's for out-of-character chatter of any kind. You're welcome to talk, but you don't have to. 

Finally, walk your character to Orgrimmar. For assistance, send a whisper to Nene or Shivann. Once you are in The Wyvern's Tail, you're free to walk in and sit down with whoever is there, or hang around outside near the river, whatever makes you happy. If you don't want to be roleplayed with, I suggest typing "/afk" or "/dnd" to show you're not currently available for interaction.

Optional: Though none of the organizers have high-level characters on Ravenholdt, we do have a guild, <Sleight>. Again, contact Shivann or Nene for a guild invitation. You'll be given access to a guild bank tab full of clothes, toys, and items usable at level one to add flavor to your new character. (Incidentally, we are also accepting donations of fun things to help fill the tab.) You'll be able to remain in the guild and/or keep the items at the end of the event.

Any questions or suggestions? You're welcome to ask anything, here or in-game. I'm especially interested in helping out new roleplayers, so if you have questions about RP etiquette, character development, or anything else, toss them my way. This post will be shared with several RP forums across the internet soon, so please let me know what can be added or clarified.

I hope to see you there!
