Lots of Arena PVP info from Drysc Top

Lots of Arena PVP info from Drysc

 

Monday November 6, 2006 8:41 PM EST

Filed under: Patches , Items , Ranking , PvP , Expansions Drysc has practically written a novel today on the upcoming rewards for Arena PVP. When a player asks how the rewards will be distributed, Drysc opens up and answers a lot of questions we had about how the Arena system would work. Arena honor points will be given based on ranking every week during maintenance-- if you have a high ranking, you get more points than if you have a low ranking.

Around Azeroth: The crypts of Karazhan

Filed under: Odds and ends Reader Matt sends in this, one of the creepiest shots of Azeroth I've seen. (And beyond "creepy" I can't come up with any good words to describe it.) It is the interior of the crypts of Karazhan, dungeon to be opened with the Burning Crusade. Not officially opened, but some people will always find ways...

Filed under: Odds and ends , Blizzard No, " World of Warcraft Island " is not made by Blizzard -- just in case you were confused. What it seems to be is a web game with turn based combat using World of World of Warcraft graphics, races, classes (sort of), skills, monsters, etc. I'm not sure how or why anyone would have thought this to be a good idea, especially considering that it must have taken some time to throw all of this together. While you can currently create an account and play for...

WoW Moviewatch: A song about Molten Core

 

Tuesday November 7, 2006 11:00 AM EST

Filed under: Machinima , Instances I am obviously a sucker for a goofy World of Warcraft related song, or possibly just easily amused -- because this video had me laughing for the longest time. Though that could have, at least in part, been because I couldn't figure out what song they were parodying (despite the fact that it sounded awfully familiar) until the end....
