The drums of war are furiously being banged. Possibly with torn-off stunty arms. They are heralding the arrival of patch 1.2 (and a live event which will let you play the Choppa/Slayer earlier). Everyone worth a damn is online, and if theories are anything to go after a lot of them are re-subscribers coming back for [...]

As a man of few words (…), here are the winners of the Caption This #2 contest. Lots of good ones just like the first. Hope you are getting as much fun from this as I am. A new contest coming up Soon™.

Winner
“And here we have Snotnose Grovelpaunch leading the Ironorc swim leg round the buoy…he [...]

This special post from the WCPI is handed out to Metro Gamer. It’s a great place to learn how to style hair with PigGrease (both in and out of game) and how to apply proper RvR strategy when picking up chicks on the disco.
Also…
Happy birthday, Shiro!

PhoenixRed has a very well-written post on the differences and disappointments between GOA and Mythic. It includes a treehouse and restaurant analogy, but it makes sense when you read it.
Long-time readers of this blog (yeah right) will know that I have not been the most understandable of GOA’s customers. Er, maybe I should rephrase that a bit. [...]

So there I was, standing still for an hour in Dragonwake trying to configure the interface just the way I wanted it. Countless elves, humans and dwarves passed behind my open configuration windows, and at least one polar bear tried to hump my leg before I used my own Kossar’s Helm.
Long story short, my configuration journey [...]

Don’t think I need to explain much. The above image needs a caption, toss in your suggestions in the comments below.
Due to complaints from the last winner, this round will not include a bucket.

I was surprised how many captions where submitted; I had great fun reading them. Anyway, the winners. A lot of good ones, but one in particular made the bells ring inside my head. Short and concise, yet hilarious.

Winner
“No! Don’t jump! … We have to burn you!” by Tyrhoor.
Runners-up
“I take it back! Witch elves ARE overpowered!” by Nervensage.
“Too late did she [...]

Blame the Healer has an excellent review of the different ways people announce that they are in need of healing. I must admit I’m of the “silent” type myself, except without the bouncing. I’m usually just standing there, and from time to time holding up the hand that stem my flowing blood to my face, showing surprise [...]

Throw in your ideas below in the comments!
Winning submission will win a bucket full of Glory, Renown and Respect.

Warhammer Alliance is (in spirit of the Age of Blogging event) hosting a program called the WAR Community Promotion Initiative (WCPI), and those who has a WAR fansite, blog, or other community sites related to Warhammer Online can participate. Basically it means members of the program at least once per week promote another member, by [...]

Because the PTR went down, WARDB is slow, and I didn’t mind editing that giant heap of screenshots.
Can’t but laugh at some of these names like “Can’t Stop the Chop”, “Don’t Wanna Live Forever” and “Come and Git It!”.

Choppa (and Slayer) is up on the PTR, both in US and EU.
If anyone needs me I will be Facepalmer the Choppa on the EU Test Server for the the next foreseeable future.
Want some? Get some!

The Choppa forum (the “unofficial” one – I still can’t find any official for EU) is a great, er, resource for Choppa information. But what will it look like when the career is unleashed and the trolls invade? Gatsbury got a theory.
When the topic of class mechanics comes up and people start throwing around phrases like [...]

People love drama. It’s just like a train crash, horrible in every sense, yet we can’t look away. Personally I just have to visit the website of my old WoW-guild to get my weekly dose (the same people are quitting with a drama-post every week), but others are not so fortunate.
So I want you to [...]

Let’s see. The last design change was… January 11. This gives us a month and a few days. I see a troubling trend that themes are spending less and less time before being changed. Or maybe it’s good, I dunno.
The design is not that much different than the last (which is why I call this mark II). [...]
