Netherhood Welcome Wagon – Warstomping Grounds

Tuesday, 30th of August 2011 at 08:01:58 AM

Hello Everyone! I’d like you to join me in welcoming Quahepok of The War Stomping Grounds!

Quahepok started playing WoW in the heart of the Wrath of the Lich King. Having not played a computer game since the late 90′s, he found himself drawn in. While he has been tempted by other distractions, he finds that WoW has enough different activities to happily fill his gaming time. In addition, he’s got two long time friends who keep close via the game, and they frequently find themselves up to all kinds of mischief together. With his time constraints, Quahepok finds that he doesn’t have time to raid, but still enjoys many other aspects of play that WoW has to offer. This especially includes the communication aspects of WoW! He finds himself a podcast junkie, and just can’t get enough!

Quahepok started blogging to clear out some of the thoughts floating about in his head. He hammers out stray thoughts and chats about a variety of different topics ranging from aspects of casual play to what it means to be a “casual player”. In addition, he’s also started a podcast, in which he is able to use his favorite medium to discuss one of his enjoyable past times! You can hear him discuss finding fun in PvP and talk to you about how he gets five levels in under an hour. You can also read his thoughts on “Roll” playing and looking at the different tiers of the shaman.

I, for one, certainly can’t wait to hear (and read!) more! Welcome to the blogosphere, Quahepok!

Every Tuesday, Beruthiel from Falling Leaves and Wings is bringing you the Welcome Wagon, introducing new bloggers and great reads. If you know of a new blog to the scene or wish to get your name out there, please send an email to fallingleaves51@gmail.com, with the subject line “Welcome Wagon.” She’ll do her best to highlight as many as possible!

Shared Topic Triple Extravaganza

Once again I fell off the internet. The weeks just fly by so fast. I keep thinking it’s only been a couple of days. Boy am I wrong.

So three topics!

The first revolves around bag space. Suggested by Amerence of Amerence Love WoW, it goes like this:

We all know that since Vanilla days, soulbound items cannot be send to any of your characters in game unless these items are Bind on Account. Some cannot even be sold to vendors. Top of that Every expansion, patch after patch either we still have Old tier gears that we don’t like to dispose/disenchant even some old content trinkets that I myself like to keep (To think I still have my Carrot on a stick trinket), and for sure most of you feel the same way about Keeping them or just want to add to your collection of gears, but everyone has its own opinion about this for sure…

So I like to ask you… Would it be worth a try to suggest to Blizzard to extend the capacity of our Bag and Bank item slots? Or do you think the cost of just tailored Bags (22-30slots) will do the work? Or Is it just not worth the time to even be mentioning these non sense about the Bag and Bank items capacity? I am just as curious as you are to know because honestly Items are getting piled up especially the soulbound items. Is there any other options for the Soulbound items to go somewhere or something it may not be right now but how about in the future? Honestly, My bank and Bag slot in one character is getting really full and that excludes the consumables you carry for raid. PLease share your opinion about it You can also post up a your current screenshot of your bank and bag items! with your response.

Sharing their thoughts were:

Amerence from Amerence Love WoW

Dragonray from Azerothian Life

Oathblade from Info about WoW from the Altaholic

Aliera from The Violet Scribe

Erinys from The Harpy’s Nest

Eccentrica from Eccentrica Jones

Kaezhol from Shearing Shammy

Stringtheory from Martha.net

Second topic!

Suggested by Dragonray of Azerothian Life who asks: What kind of guild are you?

What kind of guild environment do you like?

From this I am referring to whether you like a quiet guild or a chatty guild – is there a happy medium? I have noticed that the guild I have joined never says anything in guild chat and you really have to push them to chat?

Exposing their guild preferences are:

Dragonray from Azerothian Life

Amerence from Amerence Love WoW

Saga from Spellbound

Essencenchanted from Girl Gamer Confessions

Oathblade from Info about WoW from the Altaholic

And our latest, very timely, topic was suggested by Essencenchanted of Girl Gamer Confessions. Transmogrification people! What do you think?

So, by now, we’ve all seen the tidbits of Patch 4.3 that Blizz has decided to release to us. The hype, in particular, surrounds two things directly related–Transmogrification and Void Storage. If you do not have any idea at all about what the two of those are, you can view the blue posts here (Transmogrification) and here (Void Storage).

What are your thoughts on these two new things Blizz wants to put into the game? Has it fulfilled your need for bank space (a recent ST)? Will it make you more interested in the game? Could you care less? Is there anything you’d change? Let’s have at it, ladies and gents! Nitty and gritty!

Talking about “it” were:

Essencenchanted from Gamer Girl Confessions

Jamin from Shattered Beginnings (he was so inspired, he even wrote a second post)

Erinys from The Harpy’s Nest

Typhoonandrew from TyphoonAndrew’s – Eye of the Storm

Corath from Corath’s Blog

Oathblade from Info about WoW from the Altaholic (she was also very inspired)

Sayomara from Grand Old Podcast

Netherhood Welcome Wagon – Grin and Bear Tank It.

Beru

Tuesday, 23rd of August 2011 at 08:00:55 AM

Hello Everyone! I’d like you to join me in welcoming Nashamire of Grin and Bear Tank It.

Nash started playing WoW in the twilight of The Burning Crusade and spent most of his time PvPing on his feral druid waiting for Wrath to release. With the start of WotLK, Nash was introduced to the PvE side of things, remembering fondly his first experience with Gruul, before he even knew what a raid was. However, Nash found that his time commitments to his family and his job were more than he could juggle as a full time raider, so he is a standby with his guild. Don’t fret though! He enjoys filling his time with PvP (still!) and achievement hunting.

Nash started Grin and Bear Tank It to outline his adventures as a bear tank, however as it turns out Nash is now playing a Holy Paladin and so the blog has evolved from tank talk to heal talk, with some all around WoW talk thrown in for good measure! If he’s feeling frisky, you may even find a rant or two

Nash has explored what he’s looking forward to with Transmorgification, and entertains you with a little insight to his most surprising quirk. If it’s advice you are looking for, you may want to check out his first impressions of Cataclysm Bear Tanking or his simple advice on dailys. If that doesn’t entertain you why not learn a little bit behind what’s in Nash’s name.

I think Nash is off to a great start and I know I can’t wait to read more! Welcome to the Blogosphere, Nashamire!
