Netherhood Welcome Wagon – The Ready Check

Tuesday, 26th of July 2011 at 08:00:51 AM

Hello Everyone! I’d like you to join me in welcoming Gladiola and Manners of The Ready Check.

Gladiola and Manners started playing WoW during the Burning Crusade. Not knowing each other, the two of them met during the first months of the WotLK when Gladiola joined Manner’s guild. After many late night talks and conversations, Gladiola and Manners started dating and have been a force to be reckoned with ever since!

Between the two of them, they have raided on many different toons throughout their WoW careers, remaining flexible to help their guilds, while still being able to raid together. Right now, they are both enjoying the game from a healer’s perspective, and couldn’t be more thrilled with making the green bars go right! In game you can find Gladiola and Manners raiding, taking part in PvP, chasing achievements or immersing themselves into the lore.

Gladiola and Manners started The Ready Check as a way to connect with current and past guildmates and keep in touch with real life friends who also enjoy WoW. They focus maining on their experiences in raiding and chasing achievements, with the occasional addon review.

You will be able to find advice on things such as soloing firelands trash or navigating Mr. Robot. You can also read about many of the adventures that Gladiola and Manners take. Or perhaps you are more interested in learning about the ElvUI or farming for Posideus. Whatever tickles your fancy, you are sure to find something fun and intriguing to read!

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see what other adventures Gladiola and Manners share with us! Welcome to the Blogosphere!

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: The Most Balanced It’s Ever Been

Monday, 25th of July 2011 at 04:41:05 PM

After a couple of week’s hiatus due to me moving AGAIN and not be able to get my internet working until two weeks later, the Shared Topics are back! This week’s Topic was suggested by Ringo Flinthammer of Flintammer Hall, who was inspired by the words of our favourite crab:

Ghostcrawler recently said that, in his estimation, the game is the most balanced it’s ever been. Agree? Disagree? And if it’s the most balanced, does that mean it’s enjoyable for you at the moment — have there, in other words, been more enjoyable, if less balanced, moments in the past?

Speaking out on game balance are:

Oathblade from Info about the World of Warcraft from the Altaholic

Typhoonandrew from TyphoonAndrew’s – Eye of the Storm

Aliera from The Violet Scribe

And next week we’ve got a really creative topic, that also happens to be close to my heart: WoW and food. Trying WoW recipes in real life, talking about recipes that should be in WoW but aren’t, inventing WoW recipes… Now that I think about it, I’m starving!

Post your take on the topic in your blog and share a link to it on the Shared Topic thread at Blog Azeroth!

And check out this sneak peak at upcoming topics:

Bags and Bank Capacity…

Resource Site Spotlight – AHSpy

Rilandune

Monday, 25th of July 2011 at 12:23:37 PM

Are you an Auction House junkie? Do you walk around your office mumbling to yourself about buying out the flask supply to create an artificial monopoly, or replace marketing tactics in a board meeting with specifics on doing “the Eternals shuffle?”

If this describes you… seek help. Immediately.

If you found that line mildly amusing but you are in fact someone that plays the auction house often, even to the extent of having the mobile app in hand to move things on the Warcraft market while in between printing off cover sheets for your TPS reports, than AHSpy should be right up your proverbial alley.

The following is a direct copy/paste quote from the front page of AHSpy as to what this tool is:

“AHSpy is an awesome new tool that let’s you see World of Warcraft auctions and item pricing information in real time. Not only is AHSpy incredibly easy to use, it will also allow you to see the value of any actionable item in the last 30 days in any realm/faction. You will also be able to see the auction history of any seller. And because we get our data directly from Battle.Net and not from user uploads, we know that our stats are as exact as they can be.”

I am certain I could not describe it any better.

As you can see from the screen capture at the top of this article the site is in beta, but from all accounts is working as intended.

AHSpy has even gone as far as to open their API to web developers or any other Warcraft sites, so if you have your own site pertaining to the in game economy, or perhaps have a resource site yourself, contact the fine folks at AHSpy and arrange the use of this service.

One other cool feature, AHSpy is multilingual, as seen here:

Sprechen in der Deutschen klasse!

This RSS was found while listening to The Instance, and was a recent “Drop of the Week” on that podcast.

Cheers & Truly,
