About the Bloggers: John Patricelli
What's your main right now?
Windshadow, a Feral-specced Druid on Kael'thas (US)
For the Horde or Glory to the Alliance?
Most of my characters are Alliance, although I have played both sides. Oh, and for the record... I personally see a ton of great folks, fun and mature, in both factions. And I also see the Trade channel full of idiots on both sides. If one side is 'more mature' than the other, I've never noticed. They feel like they share the same balance to me.
Favorite thing to do in Azeroth?
I love to log into guild chat, pump some background music into my headphones, pop into Flight Form, and go farm Herbs and Gas Clouds at Mach 280 while chatting with my guildies.
What's the best instance in the game?
I haven't played them all yet, since there are 'guild favorites' I keep going back into. But I'd have to say I enjoy the mix of pulls in Heroic Underbog as a tank the best.
What's the number one thing Blizzard could do better?
I'd have to say communication on a personal level to reported customer account issues. When an issue is reported that, for an example, is as devastating as a hacked account, I think Blizzard needs to drastically improve the response time and amount of communication they provide to the victim.
Favorite mount?
Druids' epic Flight Form. Without exception.
Favorite piece of loot?
Earthwarden, the epic mace for feral tanking Druids, available from the Cenarion Expedition at Exalted reputation.
What accomplishment in-game are you most proud of?
Taking down Talon King Ikiss in Heroic Sethekk Halls for my Druid Flight Form quest. It eventually took bringing in a a second Druid to provide the heals and keep the banished birds buffed, but we did it. And it felt like winning a major war, not just downing a single heroic level boss.
If you could add one touch of personal flair to your main, what would it be?
I'd love to be able to choose different models or options to enhance the look of my Druid in cat or bear form. Things such as being able to display armor pieces in Dire Bear form, or choose different colors or models in cat or bear, or even something as simple as being able to follow a long quest chain to learn different models of cat or bear would be wonderful. As much as I love my Druid, I'd love it even more if I had the power to choose to change into a Polar Bear instead of the standard, or a tan plains cat instead of the standard Night Elf purple.
And I think this should apply to other classes' abilities as well. Why should both male and female Warlocks get the same female model Succubi? Why not have female Warlock characters get the option of having a little beefcake instead? I'm just sayin'.

Yes to add new forms to models.
Yes to add a new demon for females or a choseable demon from succ to incubus. I personally like the idea (and there is a post in the official wow forums about it).

Funnily enough, I'm on Kael'thas also. Glad to see there is more than one of us out there. On the whole, I've really enjoyed our server, and have met tons of great people there.
Hope to see you around!

I am a lvl 70 Night Elf feral druid on Kael'thas as well. I am still working on getting better gear and my epic flight form (who needs a gryph :) ). I was lucky enough to find a great guild, and I love just chatting and goofing off.
I think our server is pretty good. All of my toons on Kael'thas (as are all my wife's), except one lvl 10 Cow Druid on Onyxia(spelling?).
