WRUP: Phoning it in edition
Hello? Guys? Anyone home? If you were to knock WoW Insider's office door, you probably wouldn't get an answer this weekend, as most of the WoW Insider team seems to be /afk for the holidays. At least we're pretty sure we actually have more writers than are listed here -- and at least two of those only responded to our WRUP call-out by cell phone. Whether you're in game or out this weekend, we hope you're having a happy Winter Veil!
Alex Ziebart: I'm not really playing at all until the new computer parts I ordered gets to my house. The most I can do is fish in the back of Ironforge or my video card overheats. I play vicariously through my guildmates in guild chat when I'm not leveling a random alt's fishing. Someone narrating Wintergrasp to me is totally the same as being there, right?
Amanda Miller: I have been gathering presents for all of my alts, as well as working on the Merrymaker title. I've also been leveling my Death Knight through Northrend, although right now I'm trying to catch up on her Blacksmithing.
For the rest of the team, read on!
Chase Christian: Testing out my new PC hardware (thanks Santa!) with some 2v2 arenas this afternoon.
Daniel Whitcomb: I got the Merrymaker title on my Death Knight, and am currently working on it on my Hunter, though I need a few more Snowflakes for the silly Let It Snow Achievement. Before Winter Veil is over, I also want to cycle through all the alts I play to make sure they get their presents. But beyond the Winter Veil stuff, I also want to take a break to run Oculus and Halls of Stone for defense gear for my Death Knight as well.
Jennie Lees: Keyboard-turned my way through a couple of instances, but having a relatively WoW-free Christmas. When I get home it's raiding catch-up and finishing off Merrymaker, though. Curse the inability to be useful as a feral festive gnome.
Lisa Poisso: I'm taking advantage of the holiday breather by catching up on professions and dailies. Magnificent Magic Carpet, baybee!
Matt Rossi: I haven't been on since Wednesday due to general Christmasness. Tomorrow I'm supposed to run Malygos 10/25, we'll see.
Michael Gray: Raising my JC to 450, and antiquing for a ring. I swear, it is coincidence.
Michael Sacco: Not playing because I don't even have the internet where I am.
Robin Torres: I am doing the holiday quests on all of my alts. All. Of. Them.
Zach Yonzon: More Wintergrasp, and a lot of Battlegrounds. I'm also taking the Holiday relaxation to actually do some Achievements like finishing exploring or some Merrymaker requirements.
So, what are you playing this weekend?

Happy Winters Veil! It's cool that you guys post what you do in your own life. It's nice to get a look inside the minds sometimes lol.

Merry Christmas and Happy Winter Veil.
I've played a little WoW. Mostly to get my new game pad set up and my new action bar setup working and tested. I still haven't instanced yet but I might try out my new setup tonight.

Finished up the WV achievements on my main. And just did enough exploring to last a lifetime. At least I got the title :)

What am I playing this weekend?
My main is still missing one of the holiday mini-pets, and being a) adamant about not buying something I can get myself and b) swamped with low-level alts that could use some leveling, I'm leveling alt after alt to 20 so I can get my last pet.
Can't remember whether it's the red or green helper box I still need, to be honest... 8+ hours in the Ghostlands sort of makes one forget these things.

You guys actually have an office? Or is that just a figure of speech? I figured you all just wrote articles from home and what not and mailed em in.

Been snowed in since before Christmas, so my whole family has had plenty of time for WoW. We've gotten all the holiday achievements we can on our mains and alts, and have been leveling both in Northrend and Azeroth. Last night was a 4-1/2 hour run through BRD. I'm currently planning to never do that again....

Making the Charge towards 70 with my UDK (lvl64).
On my Mage (lvl80) doing dailies and hopefully help our '5th' hit 80 so we can finally start doing guild heroics within our Guild members. Mute Assassins [H] - Ysondre
