We've not updated you on our progress throughout Northrend for the past week, since the game is so anew and we started at level 55. Resultingly we've been forced to relive the old content of Outland again, but when we finally hit 68 and were able to go to Northrend all that was lost.



In many ways, Northrend is much better than than the Outlands. First of all, we don't get the feeling that we're playing more of Starcraft than Warcraft. Second, weapons and armor are very nicely made, and they fit the theme of Northrend nicely. The quests are nice and fun, and you do more unexpected things compared to the Outlands.



All in all, I feel that Blizzard to a great point have managed to create a successful expansion which will keep us occupied and amazed for a large amount of time to come. At a later point we will write more about what we've been up to, and I heard some rumours about me writing some entries about addons and addons I've made. Until then we'll continue our quest towards Icecrown Citadel.

The day we all been waiting is finally here! Last night at 10pm we put on our frost resistance gear and went out on our quest for the Wrath of the Lich King!

Before we could start our journey we had to get our food buffs up, and then we were ready to go:


When we came to the quest location, we weren't alone. There were many there to fight for the epics and glory. And we all wish that we had some frost resistance as we stood there waiting, freezing our asses off:


After a short while out in the cold, they let us inside the building so we could wait in a bit more comfortable environments. There was even a nice guard there conjuring some coca cola for us, so we got the energy and mana needed to see this long journey through:


Then finally, the goal was within reach. At 00.00 the doors opened and we were almost first in line. The vendor had only a limited number of items, but we got what we came for!:


Happy and relieved after a well done quest:


Now we are ready for new and exciting content to conquer!

The event leading up to the expansion of World of Warcraft has entered a new phase. This time Orgrimmar's under attack by Frost Wyrms and Abominations. Resultingly, Thrall takes matter into his own hands. With aid from his allied leaders, such as Garrosh Hellscream and Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, he's fighting back against the evils of the Lich King. Below are some screenshots from this event.

Aion is a game we'll probably write quite much about later on, as it seems to be one of the games that will climb to the top of 2009. I recently found out that NCsoft has released new introduction videos, and thus I'll link them here:

Assassin


Chanter


Cleric


Gladiator


Ranger


Sorcerer


Spiritmaster


Templar

What can possibly be better than an addicting game inside an addicting game?

The bejeweled addon must be one of the best non-ui addon i have ever seen :D Whenever I die, fly or are waiting for a slow raid to start, it just pops up ready to start wherever I left of last time.



Because one of the most boring part of WoW, is all the waiting. Especially after wipes in raids or waiting for people to show up. Instead of doing lots of alt+tabing and get unfocused, its a lot more convenient to just have a time killer that automaticly goes away when RL types /readycheck :)

A member of my guild made me aware of an ingenious guide towards getting the most experience out of the first levels of the Death Knight written by a B Young.
