DONOTCHANGE As I mentioned here, I have bought Brian’s guide to level my paladin from level 70-80 in World of Warcraft’s latest expansion: Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK). In this article, I’ll share my initial thoughts.
I have been using Brian Kopp’s Guide this past weekend and easily reached level 72. I’d estimate it takes a good 6-7 hours per level with my Ret paladin and that’s messing around a bit too, checking out the new instances (The Nexus & Utgarde Keep), respecing protection to solo shattered halls, etc. Turns out my protection gear isn’t as good as my ret gear so I gave up soloing SH after a few times. Brian Kopp’s game mod for the guide makes it extremely simple to use and works with the TomTom waypoint addon and Cartographer map addon so when the guide tells you to go to a waypoint it is automatically entered into those addons. This then displays an arrow telling you which direction to go, how far, and puts a way point on the map. Anyways, each step is displayed for you, map coordinates are automatically put in, NPC names are given. There is no simpler way to level in WotLK!
Update 11-29-2008: My fastest level so far was between 78 and 79. It took me about 4.5 hrs. Not bad! I think my epic flying mount helped quite a bit there.
Update 11-24-2008: After a week using the guide, and not playing 24/7 like some people, I managed to hit level 77! Not too bad.. I do have to say the Grizzly Hills is the biggest pain in the ass zone so far. It is much easier if you could use your flying mount! Level 73-74 took a fast 4.5 hours, I have to say the guide helped me speed through Dragonbait and I got to see the really cool cut scene that ends that zone. Good stuff!
I first got hooked on Brian Kopp’s Alliance Leveling guide when I leveled from 60-70, but back then there was no in-game mod. I had printed the .pdf and checked steps off as I finished them and had to enter in waypoints manually. Kind of a pain now that I’m spoiled by the in-game guide! One more thing, I printed out the guide for WotLK’s Howling Fjord zone but haven’t had a need to look at it since the ingame mod presents the info on the screen.

]]>DONOTCHANGE There are three main suppliers of Warcraft Leveling Guides. Each of them will be updated for the Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) Expansion. The guides have their strengths and weaknesses and this article will review each of them from a World of Warcraft player’s perspective that has been playing the game since it was released in 2004.
Joanna’s Horde Leveling Guide is one of the oldest guides around. This one focuses mainly on the horde side. Since I’ve played alliance, I don’t have much experience with it. All I can say is people have been very happy with it and the two other guide suppliers used Joanna’s guide ideas for the creation of their guides (formatting, map mods, layout, etc.) Hands down, this is the best horde guide out there.
Brian Kopp’s Guide is a very well written guide that I originally purchased to level 60-70. I followed the guide which I bought the day The Burning Crusade was released. Printed out the .pdf and installed the map mod. The guide proved to be invaluable for leveling my Paladin. Having the printed copy helped me by allowing me to check off the steps that I finished and the map mod clearly shows you where to go. Brian took the time to set waypoints for each of the steps. Needless to say I was one of the first to hit 70 in my guild, it took me about 2 weeks. I then leveled my Mage alt to 39 using the guide, played as a twink for a bit and then used the guide to get to 70. It was a very fast to level my alt, this was before Blizzard buffed the experience rate too. I am very happy with Brian Kopp’s guide and will more than likely use it again when Wrath of the Lich King comes out. There might be a delay between the release of WotLK and when Brian’s guide comes out, but it will be well worth it.
UPDATE (November 12, 2008): Brian Kopp’s Guide has been updated for WotLK so you can now level from 1-80 in that. I just purchased it and will post my results once I get the expansion! I had great success with his alliance guides and highly recommend them.. As I mentioned before, I did 60-70 in 2 weeks (real days) and 39-70 pretty quick too using Brian’s guide.
UPDATE (November 17, 2008): I have been using Brian Kopp’s Guide this past weekend and easily reached level 72. I’d estimate it takes a good 6-7 hours per level with my Ret paladin and that’s messing around a bit too, checking out the new instances, respecing protection to solo shattered halls, etc. Turns out my protection gear isn’t as good as my ret gear so I gave up soloing SH after a few times.

Anyways, each step is displayed for you, map coordinates are automatically put in, NPC names are given. There is no simpler way to level!
Team iDemise Leveling Guide - This guide looks very good and also has a map mod. They tout that they have the fastest leveling time out of all the other guides. The price is a little less too. They have guides for both Alliance and Horde so if I was playing both factions, I would get this one! Also, like the other guide suppliers they feature Lifetime membership. You will receive all updates for free and for the rest of your life! New versions of our addon are uploaded frequently and you will receive 70-80 when Wrath of the Lich King is released. This is good because the map addon that Brian Kopp uses had some downtime between patch 2.3 and 3.02. If it weren’t for some bad reviews about having to grind I would sriously consider buying this guide for leveling from 70 to 80.
In conclusion, any of the above three guides will get you to 80 effectively and efficiently. Alot of time has been spent developing those guides and each feature a money back guarantee. So if you are considering purchasing a leveling guide, you won’t go wrong by choosing one of the above.
-Ringmaster / Milenko, Khadgar - Look me up on the armory!

I've said it before and I'll say it again -- lowering the cost of the barrier to entry to WoW is not a choice but rather a grave necessity. When 90 levels starts looking like a lot of content and too big of an endeavor for a new player, it doesn't matter how good the 85-to-90 content is, because people will never see it. The last thing you want is for price to be an issue when there are so many other factors to consider about the relative uniqueness of the MMO industry.
Here are the EU seventh anniversary sale prices:
- World of Warcraft Battle Chest EUR 7,49 £4.99
- World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King EUR 9,99 £7.49
- World of Warcraft: Cataclysm EUR 14,99 £12.49
- World of Warcraft mount: Celestial Steed mount EUR 10,00 £8.50
- World of Warcraft pet: Lil'K.T. EUR 5,00 £4.50
Brace yourselves for what could be some of most exciting updates to the game recently with patch 4.3. Review the official patch notes, and then dig into what's ahead: new item storage options, cross-realm raiding, cosmetic armor skinning and your chance to battle the mighty Deathwing -- from astride his back!

]]>EU players will be happy to know that for the seventh anniversary of World of Warcraft in Europe, Blizzard has slashed the price of World of Warcraft yet again, bringing the cost of WoW down even lower for a limited time. Remember, United States and assorted North American nations, these are EU copies and versions of the game.

Coming hand in hand with these legendary items are the issues of imbalance that they cause. In PvE, terminology has started to crop up that puts legendary and non-legendary DPS into two separate categories of competitiveness. Concepts exist such as "enhancement shaman are currently one of the top non-legendary DPS specs..." -- a category that encompasses only 10 of the 22 DPS classes in the game. In PvP, concerns about burst damage have arisen, which was a big factor in the nerf to DTR that came in 4.3.
The issues with legendaries
Legendaries cause a balance problem, and that's a problem that's been exacerbated by two things in Cataclysm: a horrifically wide spread of specs that can use them, with 12 specs or five classes in total having access to legendary weapons right now, and incredible ease of access to legendaries (for the heroic raider).

It’s very hard to imagine a Cataclysm without legendary items. Despite the fact that it wasn’t introduced until six months into the game’s existence, Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa’s Rest has become a staple item in every progression raiding guild’s repetoire. The Fangs of the Father, Golad and Tiriosh, have only recently started to actually appear in game, but every week from now on will see more and more being finished.

Rather than selecting a normal or hard mode toggle before pulling an encounter, Ulduar raid groups were tasked with completing different objectives during the encounter or defeating the boss mechanics in a different order to activate hard mode. Famously, players would press a large red button behind Mimiron labelled "DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON," activating the encounter and a rather angry Titanic watcher. Other fights during Wrath of the Lich King such as Freya and Sartharion featured a "choose your own difficulty" mechanic wherein the player's choices before the encounter increased or decreased the boss' overall difficulty. Harder combinations of abilities would yield more impressive items.
Will Mists of Pandaria bring back our beloved "choose your difficulty" encounters and in-fight hard mode triggers? I know I'd like to get another Sartharion-style encounter, especially with mount rewards like the original provided.

]]>Kaivax hit the forums to answer a player’s question about Ulduar and talk about the fondness the dungeon has retained amongst the playerbase and where the optional boss modes have gone. Back during the first half of Wrath of the Lich King, “choose your own difficulty” encounters and in-fight hard mode triggers were staples of the encounters in Ulduar and the Obsidian Sanctum. When Trial of the Crusader launched, Blizzard implemented the UI-based difficulty toggle. Players have expressed desire to return to the old days, feeling that the toggle method is just too robotic when encounters could be designed around cool difficulty-swap mechanics. In his post, Kaivax hints that the design teams are thinking about bringing back these mechanics for some fights in the upcoming expansion, Mists of Pandaria.

Back in the day (that day being 2004 to 2005), I leveled the first of many warriors to the experience cap of level 60. At that time, one of the things that set the warrior class (and other classes) apart was a long, involved quest line that sent you all over Azeroth to gather materials and finally face and defeat Cyclonian. As a result, you gained one of three iconic weapons. (Most people took the axe. As a human at the time, I took the sword.) This extremely long quest line took you from Fray Island to the area north of Tarren Mill and then to Arathi Highlands (giving them a reason to exist) and Stranglethorn Vale before bringing you back to face Cyclonian. It was a rite of passage for a leveling toon. As a 60th-level, 70th-level and then an 80th-level warrior, I would often go back and help warriors on the quest to defeat Cyclonian, who posed an extreme challenge to anyone attempting to solo him.
I lamented the removal of class-specific quests at the time it was announced. Now, over a year later, I still think removing them was a mistake. Being soaked in ancient wisdom like a turkey soaked in ancient wisdom, here are my reasons.

Hi, I’m Ol’ Grumpy. You may remember me from such posts as every single other post with “Ol’ Grumpy” in the title. Today, since I have this incredibly uncomfortable rocking chair to sit on, I figured I’d grump about class quests and why I think they should come back.

]]>Blizzard has just announced permanent price cuts to the Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions in the EU for 2012. What seems to be a push for easier accessibility to WoW, Wrath now costs only €19.99, down from €34.99 and Cataclysm is now €29.99, down from €34.99. Whether or not these deals are coming to the United States is not known at this time, but I can’t really understand why they wouldn’t. Getting your WoW account up to date has never been cheaper, and Blizzard is making sure the barrier to entry is as low as possible for new players.

Many people, myself included, believe that WoW's barrier to entry is perhaps one of its most difficult challenges to overcome. With more deals like this, WoW can get into more hands at a lower price than ever before, hopefully adding on subscribers and new blood in anticipation of Mists of Pandaria.

I'm sorry, but you have to be 50 kinds of jaded to not enjoy this. One of the things I've really enjoyed about patch 4.3 and the Dragon Soul raid is how it unabashedly throws massive, crazy, world-ending doomsday events at you. Between fending off not one but two faceless ones from within bloated abominations, balking an ancient earth elemental giant at the base of Wyrmrest Temple, and defeating Ultraxion and then taking on Deathwing himself, the fights feel enormous. The stakes are huge, and while the supposed saviors of Azeroth spend a lot of time thinking really hard at a McGuffin, we step the heck up.
Whether you are hitting it via Raid Finder, attending your weekly 10-man hardcore raid, or participating as a member of a casual 25-man raid alliance (or anything in between), in terms of pure aesthetics, Dragon Soul is a very satisfying raid in terms of pure scope and sweep.

Guys, I don’t know if you know this, but we have just pried the elementium plates off of the back of a dragon so big 25 people can stand on him. After that, we killed the mutant kaiju version of him, who was so big his head alone was bigger than us and four other giant dragons.
