Ophelie Wednesday, 29th of December 2010 at 10:34:12 PM  Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you all had a great Christmas and will have a wonderful New Year!
For those of you who participated in Blog Azeroth’s Secret Santa, feel free to post links to the posts you received or the posts you written in the original Secret Santa post. Links will be saved for posterity and Secret Santa participants of the future (should the tradition continue) will click on them for inspiration.
Now for the Shared Topics! We have two again this week since I’ve fallen a bit behind with them.
The first was two weeks ago and was about elements of our real life transpiring through WoW. Our Topic suggester (and we love Topic suggesters! Can’t get enough of our wonderful Topic suggesters!) was Dragonray from Azerothian Life:
Do you think your real life job affects how you see people/situations in game and do you use the same methods in game you would use at work to diffuse situations? For example are you the type to just boot people/leave guilds because this is a game or would you try and sort it out considering you wouldn’t just fire someone/quit your job if someone/or situation was being nasty?
Participating were:
RestoDude from RestoDude
Jaedia from Jaedia’s Menagerie
Amaranth from Specced for Drama
Violet Scribe from The Violet Scribe
Tzufit from Tree Heals Go Woosh
Dragonray from Azerothian Life
Iamstillwater from Games and Geekery
The second Topic was from last week, where Amaranth from Specced for Drama asked about our in-game pet peeves. (Now that’s one Topic I wish I had taken part in… Ophelie’s pet peeves? That would be an incoming wall of text!)
What is your biggest pet peeve? What is the one thing you just can’t tolerate in game. Is it the loudmouth in trade, the guy who keeps god-modding when trying to RP with you, the gold farmers, the….
Oh my, the list could go on. Tell us your biggest pet peeve, or make a list, or maybe tell us about the quirkiest thing that irks you.
Or, maybe if you are a roleplayer, you could do this one in character and explain what your character’s biggest pet peeve is in general. Could it be how uncomfortable the griffon saddle is, or how bland Night Elf food is, or the exorbitant price of buying anything from a goblin?
Some of you were really creative with your replies! Check out:
Amaranth from Specced for Drama
Dragonray from Azerothian Life
Tzufit from Tree Heals Go Woosh
Violet Scribe from The Violet Scribe
Dubsy from Rejuvenile
Mirandinn from Mirandinn: A WoW Journal
Fannon from Dwarven Battle Medic
And for this week, get your character into a holiday state of mind in our RP themed Topic: Winter Holiday Feast. What will your character be doing this holiday season? Will he or she take it easy and curl up in front of a fire with friends? Or will he or she work overtime killing monsters to compensate for all the other heroes taking time off? (Or if your character is from the Dun Moroe or Winterspring areas, will he or she be soaking up the sun in the luscious tropical Stranglethorn Jungle?)
Share your story with us by posting a link to it in this week’s Topic thread at Blog Azeroth!
And remember! We love Topic suggesters! If you have a great idea for a Shared Topic, let us know on our forums!

Hydra is away but Fimlys has brought a few friends over to play. It’s a Twisted Nether Christmas. A rousing discussion of Cataclysm (of course) ensues and, amazingly enough, continues for 2 1/2 hours! Join Fimlys as he welcomes Brajana from Mend Pet, Maerdred from Treebound, Tristan from Elitist Podcast, Seven from the Raid Warning Podcast and Daewin from the Polygamerous Podcast! It’s a Holiday Round Table of Cataclysmic proportions (that will never get tired, will it?) |

Rilandune Saturday, 25th of December 2010 at 01:42:18 PM Diggers of the dirt, finders of the fossils, surveyors of the sands – I promised you in a previous Spotlight that I would feature an Archaeology site as soon as I found one. Thanks to our good friends Medros and Shade, hosts of the All Things Azeroth podcast, for mentioning this site in a recent episode, I have found one, so to speak.
WoW Dig Site is content rich, well laid out, easy to navigate, and pleasing to the eye. It is quite literally everything I wanted to see in an Archaeology resource site. The posts are informative, written well, feature great screenshots and photo’s. There is a great deal of news relating to the profession, to addons concerning the profession, and to the general Archaeology community.
The content creator, Uriah, has done a fantastic job with this site and has given a great deal of consideration to the overall layout and design of the site, in addition to the content, which is the hallmark of a good, well-rounded web 2.0 (I actually hate this terminology) website.
If nothing else, you owe it to yourselves to check out WoW Dig Site for the guides Uriah has written. They do well to explain the profession and it’s “ins and outs” to avoid those unfortunate frustrations at the beginning of learning any profession and not fully grasping the mechanics. So whether or not you plan on leveling your Archaeology, you truly should head over to WoW Dig Site, just to get a taste for what this amazing new secondary profession in the World of Warcraft can do for you in game.
Cheers, and a Very Merry Christmas!!

***Each week you can hear Rilandune rambling on about his Addon and Mod addiction in the Twisted Nether Blogcast, usually at the end of the show where Fimlys and Hydra put him in hopes that everyone will stop listening by then. Just kidding. Well it’s kinda true. You can also read his ramblings at Heroically Random and follow him on twitter (Twitter.com/Rilandune)***

The World of Warcraft community has always found things they latch onto, from particular sites, to blogs, podcasts, and even E-RP hangouts (I have not set foot in Goldshire for 2 years and I turn off general chat, just in case, anytime I step foot in Elwynn Forest – I suggest you do the same).
Allakhazam was one of the two main sites used as the WoW database before the time of WoWHead and, to my knowledge WoWWiki Wowpedia; Thottbot being the second. I had a guildmate that insisted on pronouncing the name of that site as “Tee Hot Bot”, never could figure that one out. Anyway…
Recently I stumbled upon Allakhazam again, and I have to say I really like the new design and feel. It focuses very much on article posting, it even has a direct database tie in with WoWHead (there may be some connection there in terms of ownership perhaps, I was lazy and did not dig further, my apologies). The forums, which were always a big part of Allakhazam, the community aspect of the site, look to be very active. And it looks to be posting some good content.
I know it is difficult at times for Wrath babies to comprehend a time prior to WoWHead, but alas, there did exist other resource sites, and this is one that very much deserves a first, or second look for those of us that have been playing the game since launch.
The site also features portals for other, in-network sites for different MMO’s, such as Guild Wars 2.
The layout and design are very simple, it has a good clean look to it, and as I said, the content is good and I like the article writing. So give it a try, expand your information database collection.
Cheers!

PS. The OverLores are coming!
