Drama Mamas: Reading is hard
Oct 30th
Dodge the drama and become that player everyone wants in their group with the Drama Mamas. Lisa Poisso and Robin Torres are real-life mamas and experienced WoW players — and just as we don’t want our precious babies to be the ones kicking and wailing on the floor of checkout lane next to the candy, neither do we want you to become known as That Guy on your server. We’re taking your questions at DramaMamas (at) WoW (dot) com.
“Reading is hard.” We’ve seen that snarky little comeback all too often around WoW.com comments, the Blizzard forums and various cracks and crevices in between. Judging from the number of comments we get from readers for whom “skimming” has obviously replaced “reading” (yes, all of you who bunnyhopped over the point of last week’s advice on playing a character of the opposite gender – we’re looking at you!), we might be inclined to concur, in a most un-snarky, literal way.
What concerns the Drama Mamas is when players blunder through their game without really reading what their fellow players are communicating, both explicitly and between the lines. We all know how easily humor (and especially sarcasm) can fall flat on the internet. Disaster strikes when players stop reading and start reading into what others say. It’s all too easy to miss connections when we stop “listening” halfway through. Players can even do this to themselves, second-guessing situations and making assumptions that prevent them from truly enjoying the game the way they’d like.
This week, we’ll help two players slice through their anxieties and clearly communicate their wishes. Say what you mean! Mean what you say! And in the meantime, we urge all our readers to read up, line by line, when other players have something to say. Don’t seize upon a single phrase that inflames your sensibilities while heedlessly abandoning the rest. Connecting with other players is best done in black and white — and “read” all over.
The Queue: The story of vanilla WoW
Oct 29th
Welcome back to The Queue, WoW.com’s daily Q&A column where the WoW.com team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Adam Holisky be your host today.
I initially wrote an entirely different Queue for today, and then I came across Tim’s question:
The two expansions have fleshed out stories that I understand to some extent, especially WotLK. This has led me to ask myself, what is the story of vanilla WoW?
That is an amazing question, and has lead me down a path to an answer I did not expect. While my answer took a good three hours to write last night, it was probably the most fun I’ve had writing in quite a while. So thanks, Tim.
My full answer is after the break.

Patch 3.3 PTR build 10571 details [Updated: Tier 10 relics]
Oct 23rd
A new PTR for patch 3.3 has just been pushed through on the testing servers. Most of the classes have seen some tweaks and changes. At first glance, the biggest winners (not whiners) appear to be mages and shadow priests. Some other big changes include the druid spell Rebirth dropping from a 20 minutes cool down to a 10 minute cool down.
Oh and raid leaders, it seems anyone in the party can use raid marks now. Joy!
Also, new Achievements have surfaced for Icecrown dungeons. Find out what other adjustments were made after the jump.
Update: New glyph changes and a new Feat of Strength has been added.
Update 2: Tier 10 relics have been added to the bottom.
Mr. Chilly is in the mail on Battle.net accounts
Oct 21st
You have until November 11th to switch your account to Battle.net, but the penguin pets are already in-game. I converted my account when I was first able to (which has had its ups and downs) and I logged on this afternoon to find Mr. Chilly in my mailbox on all characters.Like most Blizzard promotional pets, they are Bind on Account and sent to every character you have on every realm. They are also collectible, in that they don’t disappear from your inventory after you “learn” them. So, if you have already switched to Battle.net, log in and pick up your new little penguin buddy.
