Toon pages

One day soon I'm going to put up pages for each of my characters. Really! I promise. There'll be a picture of them in an impressive pose, perhaps fierce or maybe contemplative, mounted or on foot. Each one will have his or her own story to tell. I'm not going to do a blog for each of them because really, there are only so many hours in a day and most of them are already pretty full.

Banking

There are various approaches to handling the riches that characters pick up during their travels in Azeroth. I have a bank toon for both my Alliance and Horde character sets. The Alliance banker is a Dranei shaman named Felwind. On the Horde side, it's a Troll named Tusk. I've parked them both in spots where it's easy to shuttle between mailbox, auction house and bank. For Felwind, that's in The Exodar. Tusk is in her hometown of Ogrimmar. This is convenient because all the other toons that I've got running around engaging in wanton slaughter, corpse looting and other mayhem don't have to keep running back to a major city to dump their goodies. Mailboxes are far more common. All they have to do is empty their bags into a mailbox, send the goods to the banker, and return to the fray!

The purpose of this entry is to cover some of the basics. I need to preface this by saying that there really is quite a lot to the game and the world where it takes place, and no single blog entry can hope to capture it all.... Read More...

World of Warcraft

As a sometimes avid World of Warcraft player I think it is only appropriate that I keep a blog chronicling the exciting adventures of my toons for my non-player friends (which is very nearly all of them!) World of Warcraft is abbreviated (and pronounced) "WoW".

The World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer on-line role-playing game, or "MMPORG". It's also....
