Yeah… did you watch that video? Obviously cute and funny, I posted it because it’s like looking at some WoW players waiting for Wrath. (OK, I’ll admit it… I’m one of them!) Blizzard is getting the food game ready, and we players can smell it coming! They temp us with a few new features getting to us a bit earlier, and we go crazy wanting it to hurry up and get down to our level! Read the rest of this entry »

Prepping For Patch 3.x
You thought I was kidding…No you are really THAT fearsome that Scarlet Peasants evacuate their bowels at the mere sight of you. DKs R OP? Read the rest of this entry »
I’m not sure if there’s too many in our guild who went throug the hassle of trying to get tickets to BlizzCon recently. For those of us who wanted to go, but couldn’t even afford the cost of the tickets alone and wanted to go, you may get a chance. There’s a contest going on right now, with the grand prize being two passes to BlizzCon, round trip air fare for two to Anaheim, California, three nights hotel accommodations and $200 US spending money. (Not bad, right?!) I went ahead and put in my name. The other prizes will be listed after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
I usually don’t post videos of in-game footage, especially beta. However, I thought this one by Big Red Kitty deserved to be shown. Of course, come Wrath, hunters will be able to tame all sorts of ‘exotic’ pets. So far, the biggest is this bad boy; the rhino! It’s… massive. I mean, there really is no other way to describe it. I know a lot of us have hunter alts, and being able to tame exotic pets like this huge rhino would be a, ‘massive’ incentive to dust them off again.

Greetings from Beta!
This will serve as the first in a series of blogs for ECC members who want to get information from the Wrath of the Lich King beta firsthand, from a guildie they can trust, even if I AM relatively new to the guild. What I post here will be from the viewpoint of either my Night Elf Death Knight Tyrenda (currently level 72) or from Allassea (still sitting at 70) from the NORTHREND (PvE) Beta server.
I will try and cover as much newsworthy tidbits as I can, so feel free to add comments and such on what you would like to ask me.
My first blog will be on the creation and coming of age of your first World of Warcraft “hero” class: the Death Knight. Read the rest of this entry »
The Wrath cinematic is out, and that means it’s probably only a few months until the actual expansion is released. Every week, a flood of information smacks us in the face, reminding us big changes are coming all around. It seems like every day, the hype for the expansion is getting bigger and bigger. Like many people, I’m starting to prepare for his wrath. Read the rest of this entry »

Mod Updating Woes
It’s kind of funny, seeing Blizzard implementing things like an in-game calendar system and threat meter. It almost looks like they’re trying to cut down on the most-frequently-used mods. For our guild especially, Group Calendar and Omen are two of the biggest mods that we need, and require frequent updating. (Omen, epecially!) It used to be, we could update a large portion of our mods through WowAceUpdater, though now it looks like that’s going to die here fairly soon. What other options are out there?

Beta, Overload!
Well, I haven’t written a few blogs in a few days. Some of that has to do with work, but a good portion also has to do with the fact that there’s an information-overload on the Wrath beta at the moment. Almost every single new post from WOW Insider is about another tidbit of information. Oh, I read almost all of it, but writing about it can be daunting, since there’s so many changes!

One of our required mods for the guild, is Group Calendar. It allows everyone in the guild to plan events, instance runs, raids, whatever. (And thankfully, also tracks profession cool-downs.) Well, there’s a new beta of Wrath, and Blizzard gave us a wonderful gift: and in-game calendar system! Will this mean the end of Group Calendar? So far, it appears that it tracks game events like the Darkmoon Faire. According to WOW Insider, there’s also a way for users to add their own events and share them with others. (Like setting up instance/raid runs.) Read the rest of this entry »

A Fresh, New Home!
Today, thanks to a lot of hard work by Sinfall, ECC now has a new site and forums. Squeaky clean and ready to go. For all of our members, make sure you re-register with your main character’s name. As you can see, it doesn’t really effect the blog though. For now, I’m sticking with the same theme. However, many of the links that went to the old forums, are now permanently broken. Once the links get fixed, I’ll edit the posts. (Which, will be quite a few, LOL!) Again, special thanks to Sinfall for giving us a new home!!!
Blog Updates!
