Cow Gear

A guild member found this while questing in Mulgore. At first it doesn't seem like much. Actually it seems worthless, but read the fine print. It requires that the wielder be a Tauren. I was shocked when I saw this. To my knowledge, there is no other race specific weapon or armor in the game.

I did a little research and found very little dealing with this or any other item that requires a particular race. I wonder what Blizzard was thinking when they put this in the game.

Alliance and Horde Read Together

I was ravishing Southshore the other day when I came across an in-game book. I
am sure you have seen many of these lying around throughout your travels, but what about in an opposing faction's town? I never thought that I would be able to even open it.

As it turns out, you can read them. Not only that, but you can understand them as well. I would have assumed that since Horde and Alliance can not speak to each other, than surely they would not be able read the same language. Do you think there is a reason why this is possible? Maybe our languages are somehow derived from an Adamic Language. Or simply an overlooked detail that Blizzard never took into account. I bet it's a conspiracy. Blizzard is hiding something from all of us. George Bush, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Martin Sheen, they're all in it together.

Trust no one!

Blindstrike

Blindstrike, World of Warcraft first? I do believe I just might have the first, if not the only Blindstrike in the game. I searched all over the web looking for even a hint of this sword and found nothing.

Even if I am not the first one, it's still pretty to look at.

Hellfire Citadel Gameplay Trailer

Hellfire Citadel is one of the first new dungeons that players will encounter in The Burning Crusade

On the blasted world of Outland, within the heart of Hellfire Peninsula stands Hellfire Citadel, a nearly impenetrable bastion that served as the Horde's base of operations throughout the First and Second Wars. For years, this gargantuan fortress was thought to be abandoned - until the recent discovery that marauding bands of fel orcs have made Hellfire Citadel their home. Though the origins of this particularly savage breed present something of a mystery, what's more disconcerting is that the numbers of these fel orcs seem to be growing...

World of Warcraft hits 8.5 Million Subscribers

In a recent press release, Blizzard announced that they have reached over 8.5 million subscribers worldwide. A 2.5 million increase from last year. That's a lot of people, you do the math. From just monthly fees, Blizzard receives nearly 12.8 million dollars a month, 153 million annually. That's not including revenue from buying the actual game. Lest we forget the action figures, playing cards, board games, lunch boxes, or official World of Warcraft sex toys (okay just kidding).

It will be interesting to see where Blizzard takes us in a year from now, or better yet, six months from now. If there is one thing for certain, the only direction they will go is up.
