Ever wondered what's lurking on the horizon for your favorite MMORPG? Gear up for our latest episode where I break down the ins and outs of Azeroth's weekly updates and take a nostalgic trip into the Cataclysm Beta's buggy yet charming beginnings. From the strategies needed to conquer the volcanic eruptions in Deepwing Dunk to the curious case of upside-down ships in a vanished ocean, we've got your World of Warcraft curiosities covered. Listen closely as I speculate on the potential thrills of the upcoming 10.2.6 content update, cloaked in mystery and the promise of pirate adventures. I also share my personal musings on the pace of leveling and the revamped quest lines that may tug at the heartstrings of those yearning for the Darkshore of yore.This isn't just your average rundown; it's a treasure trove of insights for both PvE enthusiasts and PvP veterans. Discover the quirks and features of the new Worgen and Goblin races right from their impressively polished starting zones—bugs and all. And as we peek behind the Beta curtain, I'll reveal the unexpected hiccups, like healing the enemy's leader and misfiring abilities that keep even the most seasoned players on their toes. Fasten your seat belts for a roller coaster of recollections and predictions that's bound to leave you eager for what World of Warcraft has in store next.

Welcome to The Starting Zone Podcast, The World of Warcraft Podcast for New and Experienced Players! Spencer Downey and Jason Lucas sit down to talk with our Patrons about what's on their minds for the second part of our December Patron Q&A!   Episode #300: December Patron Q&A Part 2! is ready for Download! What's New this Week in World of Warcraft! Any class we don't like playing in WoW? I'm not feeling burned out at the moment, I like the grind, are you guys feeling that? What class benefitted the most from changes going into BfA? Have we noticed fire mage is becoming a less played spec? Darkshore warfront topic Joke - What is red and smell like blue paint? As content creators for a game we all “hopefully” enjoy playing still… What's your take on some of the other content creators negative outlooks on the current state/future of the game? Do you feel there's any merit to it? Are you concerned with the current state of the game and it's future? The longer I play WoW the more and more jaded cynicism I see from players in the game. What do you guys do to combat that encroaching cynicism, or, are you just naturally the cheerful little lovebugs we hear every week. Do you have any in game WoW Christmas/Winter's Veil traditions? Do you open your WoW presents on Christmas Day? Do you participate in all that Winters Veil has to offer? Also, what are some real life holiday traditions for you and your family? In the past Jason mentioned "getting what you out what you put into the game" that was great advice during legion (as a tank - helping people in m+ and other content was great) that isn't the case anymore. How can we do the same thing in BFA? Yesterday I could barely get a PUG group through M0. Have you heard about our Patreon?

Finished 5 island campaigns on main - questioning whether will do it on other characters Attempted 2 man of Atal’Dazar - almost but not quite there. High 340s not quite enough. Mag’har racial opening quest is the WORST -- and a new justification/motivation for leveling another toon Mag’har hunter: running zones using All The Things to identify areas where I haven’t gotten mail transmogs from questing there Bonus: got the Hyacinth Macaw as a random drop The Great UI Experiment - initial impressions and why I’m not going to go through with it after all Random question of the week: who’s taking care of the poor carnies? Mike: Rep. That’s it.

Needed motivation for running up Allied race to 120 for achievement Run an allied race or a non-allied race - no gold, no gear, no heirlooms. Pick a race, class, and spec, and stick with it until 120 (one spec change allowed). Judged on /played time to 120. We encourage running a class or spec you haven’t run before but it isn’t required Nonallied races will have time from 1-20 deducted from total, since allied races start at level 20 Two divisions: Regular and Warmode New this time around: Guilds US-Alliance Silvermoon: Naked & Afraid (could start the same guild Hordeside on Mok’Nathal, the connected server, forr those who want to start Horde races) EU-Alliance Vek’nilash: Naked & Afraid All members will have the power to invite to the guild, at least for a little while. Be careful only to invite people who are familiar with the Naked and Afraid challenge.

Reins of the Onyx War Hyena will be a new rated PvP mount, and there are a couple frog mounts that have not yet been assigned New pet model for baby raptors Darkmoon Faire Favors achievement has been reduced from six to five profession based quests completed New cooking recipe: Seasoned Steak and Potatoes (maybe something to do with those Thick Paleo Steaks other than the banquets?) Reputation gains from Legion World Quests will be doubled Looking at flight paths - possibly a book to buy at max level that unlocks all the flight paths on alts War Campaign chapters not alt friendly - give almost no reputation when you complete them.

As always please keep track of AIE Discord and the #SWTOR channel for up to date information and make sure you've completed your story line far enough to have your own ship. Since we were gone both patch 5.8 and 5.8a dropped with a loud thud or clank depending on who you talk to. Major highlights were the Conquest overhaul, the return of followers and the final boss of GoTM, Izax. Links to both sets of notes are below,

Aprillian and Ashayo discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard's great MMORPG. Ctrl Alt WoW Episode 84 - Another World in World of Warcraft 36 Boxer:  http://www.ripten.com/2008/10/10/wow-whore-has-36-accounts-raids-by-himself/ What We've Been Doing Aprillian After all I thought about doing, leveling my 40's to 60, I decided to get my 24's to 30, and then decided to level my alliance toons.  Sacrilege I know but think about it.  How else would I endure the alliance? Levelled my 8 lock to 14 and my Pally to 16 and 18 Tues.  Wed, we are back in the Dranei area and a level 70 ne shows up and hits a kill, I chastised him for lowering the xp. Thursday night, again on Kapril Dranei Pally and Aloq Human Warlock, got them to 24 and 22. Did some PTR.  Transfered Aprillian over and got hair cut, found out that once she learns the nether welpling, she can mail it to another alt, even though I transfered her to that account from the actual Collector's edition. Friday Morning, Aloq has the succubus quest and she has to go to the Barrens, Camp T.  How crazy.  There was a gnome warlock in the training area (which was very hard to find) in SW, who said to go to Darkshore then Ashenvale and run to the Barrens.  I thought I would go to Menethil harbor and swim to ratchet.  But when I got to menethel, there were a bunch of quest, so I picked them all up and started questing.  It was weird because they were all quests I had never done.  We went out and did the murloc quest and some of the crocilisk.  It was a different experience going through at levels 22 and 24 as oppposed to 1 to 5. Friday morning I decided to get the fp at SW.  Kapril had been there, I think she did the swim originally to get to Ratchet.  Aloq had her hearth set to SW.  So she hearthed there and summoned Kapril. When they went at SW, they discovered they had the fp at BB Realized I need to save pet  income for mounts Ashayo Email Hey hey! If you have a soundbyte of the orc laugh, it'd be a great filler for the section below after "You die!" Michael ***** Hey Aprillian and Ashayo! As promised... the paladin ranged weapon... AND a bunch of easter eggs! Yeah... I know what you're thinking... 'but Pallys can't USE ranged weapons...' Ahh... but there's a way around that little snag... let's call it a 'convenient oversight'... First... your character will have to be at least level 47 to start the quest chain... and no, you don't have to be a paladin specifically... I just mentioned it as a 'paladin ranged weapon' as most paladin players that push their way through this quest are more than happy with the end-result. Head to Un'Goro Crater... and snoop around (62,68)... or for those who don't have coordinates, it's an area in the southeast... little mini-lakes and lots of raptors... You're looking for a Wrecked Raft... it's the quest giver (of sorts)... The quest is called "It's a Secret to Everybody". Accept the quest and then turn around and look in the body of water right next to you and the boat... you'll find a small pack. Open the contents of the pack, then go talk to a gnome named Linken (44,8) at Marshal's Refuge. Linken will be all confused and send you to talk to Donova Snowden (31,45) in Winterspring... she will give you the Videre Elixir quest. Next go to Ferelas, talk to Gregan Brewspewer (45,26) who wants you to go north and get some Evoroot... but there's a catch! It's guarded by a gnoll and it seems impossible to get past him... you can do one of two things... either a: buy some bait from Gregan or b: sneak up around the back way jumping up and over the wall... yes, it's possible, I just did it the other day... Here's a link for you... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oI3iefJ3_w Yes, it's technically an exploit... but it seems to be legitimately possible... in either case... you can buy the bait from Gregan... so both ways will work. Back to Gregan with you... and get the Videre Elixir from him. So... with your Elixir, go all the way back to Winterspring and talk to Donova again... Now go all the way south to Tanaris... to the graveyard outside Gadgetzan... and drink the elixir... You die! Mwah hah hah hah haa haa haa! Now... would ol' Blade be so cruel as to send you all over the map just to kill you off? Well... yes... but I DID promise you a paladin ranged weapon... so don't rez right away, but instead take your ghost-self and run north to (53,23) and find a fellow spirit named Gaeriyan... then back to your body, resurrect yourself and right-click on the tombstone in the graveyard... mouse over them if you don't see it right away. Now... head back to Linken in Un'Goro Crater again, then up and into the cave to talk to J.D. Collie (41,2) She sends you to Felwood to talk to Eridan Bluewind (50,82)... who sets you the task of collecting Silvery Claws from the local predators (bears and wolves)... they're around lv47-50ish... I found what I needed around the area slightly north of the road to Bloodvenom Post... Now head up to the Irontree Woods and kill Irontree Stompers for the heart you will need... the trees are slightly higher level then the wolves and bears... once you have it, head back to Eridan Bluewind Now... this part's a little involved... head to Tanaris (70,49) - the area just past the pirates - and open the backpack that Eridan gave you... stand in the circle of rocks and use the Book of Aquor Aquementas will appear... he's lv54 if memory serves me correctly... but you don't have to kill him... you receive the Silver Totem of Aquementas as soon as you engage him... you can run if you're not high enough level to take him down (or if you didn't bring a few high-powered friends to clean his clock...) Return to J.D. Collie with the Silver Totem and then to Linken. Now comes the tough part... the mob you have to take down is named Blazerunner and he's at the top of the volcanic mountain in the center of the zone... it might be a wise idea to equip the totem in your offhand and drag it to an open slot on your toolbar or a hotkey... you'll most likely be needing to use it more than once... Ya see... Blazerunner has a blue aura around him... when that aura is up, he takes NO damage. None. Nada. Nil. Zip. Zero. The totem, however, dispels the aura... so as soon as you start the fight, use the totem on him! Oh... be wary of his knockback ability... he can easily punt you right off the mountain to your death if you position yourself wrong... some say to fight him inside the cave... but so long as you have your back to the wall or to the cave opening (as opposed to having your tail wagging in the breeze and facing him while HE is in the cave) you should do alright... Hmm... at this point... I feel it's only right to mention that not only is he completely invulnerable with his blue aura... even when you disenchant his buff and make him susceptible to damage... he's STILL a 56 named elite... and hits like a truck... so bring a few friends... and be careful of the adds up here... lv55ish fire elementals... plus the lava will burn you if you decide to take a swim... When he finally dies, head to the back of his cave and loot the chest that appeared to obtain the Golden Flame... and return to Linken. You've done it! Now for the part you were all waiting for... You have the choice between a 33.3 dps mainhand sword or an offhand that increases healing and spell damage by 20... Not bad items, overall... but you'll probably be getting much better very soon once you hit Outland in a very few levels... However... the item we've just criss-crossed the continent a dozen times to get? Linken's Boomerang! It's a trinket!  When you use it (3 minute cooldown), it flings a magical boomerang toward the target causing 113-187 damage... and it even has a chance to stun or disarm them! Yeah... ok... it's not a ranged 'weapon' per se... but it's quite the addition to a paladin's arsenal... considering they only get one ranged spell (and that's a talent)... And this week's easter egg?  I should think it'd be obvious... but for those that have never played it, the ENTIRE quest chain is an homage to Nintendo's Zelda and Link characters... Linken is Link The Golden Flame looks suspiciously like a triforce... The act of baiting the gnoll is actually something you do to get past a guard in the very first Legend of Zelda game... Even the quest names share the theme... "It's a Secret to Everybody"... "It's Dangerous to Go Alone"... Oh... and with each part in the quest chain granting around 5000xp... we're talking in excess of 60,000xp JUST for completing the chain... that's NOT including any xp from killing mobs or discovering any areas in zones you haven't been to yet... So that's it from me for this week... let me know if you or any listeners have any other things you'd like to know about... and ol' Blade will do his level-best to find the sneakiest, most-underhanded nefarious way to go about it! As always, an awesome podcast, guys! Blade Email 2 as always thank you for a great podcast, my first character was a warrior so it has always been my favorite class, even though hunters are so fun and easy to level. regarding your warrior bar issue, if you are not using bartender 3, which allows you to have 3 separate bars for each individual stance, if you use the default wow action bar, when you go from one stance to another, that also uses its own bar, on the bottom left connected to your numbers, so all you need to do, as you stated, place the different skills in the spot that will allow you for quick clicking. i prefer berserker stance always, so for me its easy, but i know others like to switch stances. and so you 2 know, you have converted me to the dark side and i started playing 2 characters at the same time, still dont know why its called dual boxing, just another weird wow acronym to me, but i am hooked, and i to dont know what i will do once my refer a friend runs out as it is so much fun to quest and get triple xp. have fun and hope to experience your fun server one of these days, and your guild as well; i do have a hunter of course on your server thank you-- Mohammad Ouranos hello again, i forgot to mention, i also joined the iphone fun and i love it, if you have not already try the app armory spy lite, its free and as it is called you can see the armory, pretty cool also, wowtalent is another app and you can play around with the different talent trees. please let me know what apps you like and also if the listeners have any app suggestions. i am an appaholoic as i have over 70 apps! yes we all have issues. thank you-- Mohammad Ouranos Email 3 Hello again, Glad you liked the previous email. Hopefully I have some more for you. Geist (pronounce as you feel fit) This is my all time favorite mod, and probably one of the most basic. Basically you bind a key to the mod and when you hold down the key 25 buttons appear where your mouse is. You can change the size of these buttons and you can put spells and abilities onto them, simply by dragging them, just like the bars at the bottom of the screen. When you release the button the buttons disappear. It really helps to clean up your UI. Ashayo, you mentioned problems with amount of different totems, on my Shamen i put all the totems on this mod. So when i'm in combat, or getting ready for a fight i hold down R (the key i binded geist too), click the totems i want then release R. On my mage i have all my ports, teleports, counjer food water gem spells, armors and so on. Just imagine how much cleaner your UI will look 25 free slots! Dual-Boxing in WOTLK I think my trial account for refer a friend is up (it was 10 days no 7 as per my last e-mail), now here is the problem. If i sign up i will get 90 days of the advanced leveling, however WOTLK comes out in around 30. I wont be standing in line at midnight but i will get it and want to play it. So do i wait and maybe do the refer a friend/dual boxing after i play a bunch of the next expansion of should i go head and sign up for a second account. Once thing i could do if sign up for a second account and transfer my 64 druid over too it, then when Wrath comes out dual box him and a mage. My main fear with this is that dual boxing is its own little game, do you ever feel that your concentrating too much on running two toons that your missing out on some of the intended gameplay? What are you plans for when Wrath comes out? Aprillian i'm sure you'll have two level 70s but the time wrath hits the stores! Polymorph There is another Polymorph available right now, it drops from one the the bosses in ZG. You'll have to read up about it because i think you have to fish him up or something and the drop rate isnt very high, but if your bored and can get a group, go nuts! One other thing, Ashayo, is your mage frost or fire, i know you have one of each. If your frost you'll be getting the spell Ice lance soon, its not that great but it will do triple damage to frozen targets, there is also a talent that will increase your critical strike rateing against frozen targets. So if you have your target frozen, don't fire off the Ice lance, first cast an ice bolt and as its about to fire off spam your ice lance button. I'm not sure if this is a bug but as you cast the ice lance the ice bolt has not landed yet so you'll get the crit/damage bonus for both spells, nice when coupled with your frost elemental. Thats it! Sealla  Email 4 Pithius writes... I'm listening to the Brewfest Hangover episode of Ctrl Alt WoW and heard your lament on the complexity of warriors. Add me to your friend's list if you want and I'd be happy to run around with your warrior in game and chat in vent about just when and how to use your skills. PM me here as well, though running around in game would be the most effective. Oh.. you're also to your lvl 30 quest.. my advice get somebody at least lvl 40+ to help you with the quest. I'd be happy to blow through that one with you as well. You get a very nice blue axe for a lvl 30, not quite so good for lvl 40. That's been a complaint of mine, if you wait to do the warrior quests till you can solo them, the rewards you get will be outdated. Head out to stranglethorn and get your tusks and I'll assist you with the elementals and the last guy.

Aprillian and Ashayo discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard's great MMORPG. Episode 73 - No Maintaince Tuesday is Okay What We've Been Doing: Aprillian Aprillian Unlearned Primal Mooncloth, for 50g and learned Shadoweave for 20g and picked up 5 shadowweave recipes Made macro/buttons to make twobox work for different character combinations Spent Thursday morning getting pets over to the Alliance. They are selling like hotcakes. I wonder if it has anything to do with the latest info on pets in the Expansion. Authenticator and 3 accounts are fun. Aprillian made a Spellfire bag (28 slot enchanter) for Auntrillia and bought a 20 slot Enchanter's Satchel, from the vendor in Thrallmar for like 12g. She equipped the spellfire bag, and put the satchel in her bank, buying a new slot for 25g. So now Auntrillia can de to her heart's content Saturday morning Triple boxed in Outland, completing some quests that Apriliian had and the other 2 had done, and then they did the pooh quest together and going into that mine Aprillian dinged 63 and got to wear another piece of the Netherweave set, gloves. But then I noticed her shoulders were from 47 and so I got a new pair on ah. Saw her old gloves had 8+ stamina, so I ran Auntrillia around trying to find the enchant, until I realized it was from a knothide armor kit and Rilfire could make them. Levelling Relaq, level 19 Warrior, in mining and bs. Easiest levelling ever I actually got from like 40 something to 178 without hitting a node, just smelting. And AI makes it a breeze because it tells me where mats are on each alt, on the account I'm on but if I link to other alts, it tells me their mats and also what's in the vault. I had been saving so much mats, that I felt rich. I only had to go to the ah for some silver and gold ore, but not much of that. I was focused on the outlanders but I'm ambivalent. Ashayo Ashayo's Heroic night - Ramparts and Botanica RFK - Server failure FTL. Lost blue necklace from rare bat spawn. Levelling Shaman. But just duel-boxing with Jekle for heals. Levelling Mage. Hit 40 last night. Tearing through SM Mage quests - needed SM and Uldaman Completed all of Dustwallow Marsh / Mudsprocket (including mage quest to kill level 40 elite demon - soloed :) Intending to do every quest in STV! Email: 1st email: Hey guys I love the show. I just happened on it and am in the process of getting caught up on some of the podcasts. My question is do you have one or two episodes that explain how to multibox? I have two accounts and always wanted to give it a try but wasn't quite sure where to start. What type of system req's do you recommend? How do you control both characters using only one monitor and one keyboard/mouse? Any recommended mods and or macro? What types of classes work well together? How do you select quests on both characters? Sorry for the assault of questions, but it sounds like you guys are the multibox masters and I want to glean anything I can. Thanks again. -Keelhaul 2nd Email: Hey Aprillian and Ashayo its Triaa again sorry I missed last week, got busy with raiding and such. So this week I decided to bring you two addons. The first is a modification to your cast bar, It is called quartz. The advantage to using quartz is that it takes into account latency for when you are chain-casting spells allowing for maximum DPS for casters. Here is a link to download this addon: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7158/. The second addon I decided to feature this week is the chat addon which Aprillian comments on two episodes ago. It is called Prat and allows you to customize your chat windows even more. It removes the scroll arrows on your chat panel and allows you to scroll through chat by simply mousing over the box and using your mouse scroll wheel. Here is the link: http://wowui.worldofwar.net/?p=mod&m=4413. hope ya guys enjoy these addons, I'll be sure to have another one next week. Comment: Comments from Ctrl Alt WoW: Sender Info: Name: Thera AKA Dave Email: main@kkotd.com Website: ============================== ======= re: Re: Ctrl Alt WoW Episode 72 - It's a Learning Experience Welcome from Sacred Podcast... Awesome episode great idea for running undead into Stormwind, now we must return the favor and run out lvl Night Elf alts to Ogri ^_^ Episode: http://ctrlaltwow.podcastspot.com/episodes/71B82A Email- Contest! Hey guys! Blade here... I stumbled across your podcast after doing a "warcraft" search in the iTunes store... and find CAW to be a refreshing change. You actually sound like you enjoy the game, but don't come across as exceptionally techno-obsessed (the extra sound effects some podcasts have can get rather annoying and distracting) ... nor do you come across as 'leet experts in all things WoW'... you sound like your enjoyment of the game stems not from T4/5 or Arena Season 4 and end-game content, but rather from the experience of 'getting there'- and growing as individuals along the way. In truth, I came to be searching the iTunes store after being led there by a website dedicated to tanking, as one of my alts (my warrior) has recently respecc'd protection ... and it was one of the few sites I could find that helped tanks not specifically obsessed with 'bleeding-edge' content and gear... for THAT reason, I put credence into what they had to say... ... which leads me to my alts, your contest and my 'unique and crazy' situation. Like most players in WoW, I have alts. I consider not one, but two characters my 'mains' (allow me to explain). Bladetusk, 70 Orc Rogue, could be considered my 'main main' as 'Blade' is the moniker that I am known by within my guild; my 'main alt' would then be the aforementioned respecc'd 70 protection warrior, Bladeskull. Rounding the list, is my 70 Mage (Greymalkyn), 65 Hunter (Wolftusk) and numerous baby alts including a baby shaman and baby druid who are acting as my bank and AH alts respectively... and there is one other who I will mention in a moment. Now... I don't have many alts (not even as many as Ashayo, admittedly) but I *have* been playing them for a while... and because I do not at present dual-box, I leveled each of them one by one to the levels they sit at now. For reference, ZG, AQ20, AQ40 and Naxxramas were but a twinkle in the developers' collective eyes when I started playing and even MC, BWL and Onyxia were 'fresh' enough content... I recently (masochistically?) did a '/played' on Bladetusk... and the number (approximately 37 or 38 days if memory serves correctly) doesn't seem like a lot... but if you figure one or two hours per night... 365 'nights' per year and 24 hours in a given day, then ol' Blade's been around quite a long time... During all of this time, I have had plenty of opportunity to test and play just about every conceivable race/class/talent combination I can think of... and plenty of opportunity to realize what I prefer as a player (For the Horde!)... which leads me finally to my last alt and my own personal craziness. Both my rogue and my hunter are my gatherers, and between them they gather every conceivable farmable mat... cloth, ores, fish, herbs, skins and motes from the clouds in Outland. I particularly enjoy the hunter as it is an 'easy' class to play... often times, while I am farming (he's parked in either zangarmarsh or terokkar forest at any given time and I farm the bog lords and trees for herbs... breaking up the monotony of the grind to grab skinnable beasts or spiders for their netherweb silk. Don't get me wrong... to play a hunter 'well' requires a certain amount of skill (the same can be said for any class) but I find I can turn off my brain when I play him... a nice relaxing time free from threat of dying... with his tanking pet, I only get concerned and use a heal pot when he's got more than 2 or 3 mobs on him at the same time... otherwise, it's a relatively effortless grind on my part. I COULD make a great deal of effort (and some day still may) and learn the class exceptionally well and become an 'exceptional' hunter... but at this point in time, I prefer to save my focus for the rogue and the warrior... And my other hunter. Tahrzaan. I decided I wanted to test my skill as a player and stretch my knowledge of the hunter class 'tricks' at my disposal... but not in the traditional way. So I rolled a Blood Elf Hunter... called him 'Tahrzaan' and stripped him naked. No clothes. Not even a weapon more powerful than the weenie starting dagger (the 0.9 dps one). Interesting? Crazy? Your first thought might be 'So what? With a pet tanking and the hunter at range, there's little danger of dying ANYway... so what's the big deal?' Wait for it... His ranged weapon is a throwing knife. Yeah. A hunter with no ranged skills to rely upon... (dagger crit for 25 damage ftw!) and when he leveled to 20, I got a huge boost in his melee dps with the addition of his skinning knife as an off-hand... And that's how he's stayed up to the present day and level 31 (and counting). Right now, he's been doing the tauren kindergarden quests to gain enough rep for his kodo mount (as Horde can't ride elephants... kodo's are the closest thing), tamed him a cat from the Blood Elf newbie area (named Numa) and ran him all the way to Darkshore and managed to tame one of the spectral cats from the cat figurine idols (the ones near the nagas). That one's named 'Sabor'. (All names derived from the books by Edgar Rice Burroughs). I log into this toon when I tire of the hum-drum of leveling/grinding or doing daily quests or farming on my litany of alts... and I must say that it is an eye-opening experience. Mana is all-important... traps become almost a necessity, and aoe attacks are far more dangerous now than they would be normally... heck... more than one attacking mob can NOW mean death if I'm not careful. I have been called a 'noob', been told to 'put on clothes', and 'lrn2play' more times than I can count... but some people are nicer about their curiosity... they simply wonder 'why'. So I tell them. Anyone can play a hunter. It takes skill to play a hunter well. *I* plan to play this hunter well WITH his handicap - both to challenge myself and to prove that it can be done. So in closing - as this has become much longer than I anticipated - it'd be great if I were selected in your 'wierd and crazy' alt contest... but even if it is not, it would be great to be mentioned in your email segment so that your listeners might be encouraged to think a little more 'outside the box'. Examples: - Gutrot the lv70 naked troll - a pacifist priest that refuses to kill for xp - survival hunters (like mine, but with armor and decent weapons) - a warlock with no pet - adventuring in the beginning (pre-BC) zones but staying on only ONE continent Cheers for an awesome podcast guys!
