Resource Site Spotlight: Wow Progress

wowprogressbanner

Hi folks, today I’m highlighting a really useful tool that lets you know how competitive the guild or realm is you’re considering switching to. Wow Progress is a site that keeps track of all the raiding guilds is knows about (and it knows about most of them), and rated them based on how quickly they get through content. Here’s an example of a guild page:

guildlisting

Note how they have the ranking for all the achievements on the bottom.

It also compiles this info by realm so it can tell you which realms are most active in PvE:

realmlist

This can be a really useful tool if you’re interested in finding a new guild, choosing your first realm for a character you plan on raiding with, or just generally keeping up with the Joneses.

The resource site spotlight (aka wiki tiki utility posts) should happen every week, but is written by Euripides from outdps.com, and endeavors to fill your favorites bar with an unmanageably large quantity of WOW resource sites. So much knowledge that it hurts. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.

Shared Topic: RPG Nostalgia

SharedTopic

This week’s Shared Topic was brought to us by Triv of Raid Naked: Game in the Buffs.  Triv asked us to consider the following:

How about a shared topic on RPG Nostalgia? Something along of the lines of your first love in the rpg universe, possibly even mmorpg universe.
For me it harkens back to the days when I first discovered MUD’s. I could actually play a game and interact with other people outside of my own home. It was amazing to me and so varied. MUD’s were the dreamchildren of individuals, and since they are individuals each MUD had it’s own flavor.
I would also add my initial rpg experiences such as Nethack or even console based games like Phantasy Star 3.. (awesome game). I would love to hear how other people fell in love with the genre. I think it would be a great topic to share because it expresses our individuality as well as our community in gaming. (we are all different but the same)
What do you think?

 

Responding to this week’s topic are the following fantastic bloggers:

Triv from Raid Naked: Game in the Buffs

Rajjs from The Angry Alt

Naithin from Tank ‘n’ Tree

Kirei from A Gamer of Sorts

Phoenix of Azeroth Metblogs

Ophelie of Bossy Pally

Windsoar of Jaded Alt

 

Next week’s Shared Topic is The Best Change to the Game, suggested by Lathere of HoTs and DoTs.  If you would like to submit a Shared Topic, or contribute to an existing one, visit the Blog Azeroth Forums.
