WoW Insider's on a Daily Quest (which we try to do every day, honest) to bring you interesting, informative and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.
If you're going to go see the band in Blackrock Depths, insulting the patrons and stealing their beer isn't really advised. For more words of wisdom, let's check out these links from around the blogosphere:

- Troll Racials are Overpowered beseeches you, please don't leave until the instance is done.
- Deuwowlity has some thoughts on introverts and finding a guild.
- Mana Obscura talks about being a back-seat guild leader.
- Lastly and completely unrelated, Big Bear Butt thinks everyone should go watch Sherlock. And so do I.

I too have been enjoying Sherlock. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Yes. Sherlock is very good. even with that idiot from the office that managed to ruin the Hitchiker's movie it's still a very good mini series.

Them's fightin' words, son. Wasn't Martin Freeman's fault that the movie sucked.

I wrote up a new blog post called "It's not what you know..." all related to who you play with, your guild, things like that.

Awhile back, was doing BRD. Warned everyone repeatedly not to attack anyone in the bar.
A little ways further, warned them again, don't attack anyone in the bar.
Get to the bar, warned them again, don't attack anyone in the bar.
While standing around doing a quest, an idiot attacked someone, everything attacked, we wiped.
"WHY?"
Some people can be real idiots at times. I don't think it was intentional griefing.

Deuwowlity perfectly mirrors my own experience; I left my guild on Caelestrasz when we were partway through ICC, partly because they'd become too hard-core and six hours a night three nights a week burned me out fast ... and partly because the character of the guild changed, became a lot younger and more immature. I've looked for a new guild, but the official forums aren't very helpful - like all Blizzard's WoW forums, the trolls infest them like maggots in shit. I want to raid in Cataclysm, I'm tired of being lonely and having nobody to say "Hey, that's cool" with ... but I may be on the wrong server or something.
Hordeside I've got my toons in The Insiders on Zangarmarsh, which is an awesome guild but, unfortunately, doesn't raid.

My guild is on Zangarmarsh. We like to raid, but aren't hardcore, and we're made up of mature players. We haven't been raiding lately, with people taking breaks before the expansion, but we plan to get back into it soon.

Link goes to video of "Sherlock" first episode, my way of being useful.

Agreed on Sherlock, awesome show

i have had the experience of the BRD bar pull, i was level 70 and it was just after TBC was launched and literally tanked the whole bar on my druid. I couldnt even believe i did it, i swipped and mauled my heart out. I remember it took about 10 to 15 minutes to do. Ah, the days of Brd are going to change but the bar there is one aspect i hope they keep.

if one is not completely sold on Sherlock yet, just remember: Dr. Watson is Bilbo

Curse you, add comment button. I sneezed, I didn't double click.
Stupid computers, always doing what you tell them to do rather than what you meant to tell them to do.

I watch the modern Sherlock Holmes all the time. It's called House MD. :)

Vinyl Nov 3rd 2010 2:01PM
Except that it hasn't been good since the third season and it hardly resembled Holmes at all anymore.

Hey check out my new blog :) http://thegbear.blogspot.com/
talks about Bear tanking specifically but will delve into other topics, currently talking about Patch 4, soon to do an overview about WoTLK.
Thanks.

No it wasnt but giving such an important role to such a bad actor with only one facial expression sure didnt help.

Here's one that has been bugging me for quite a while. What is the origin of calling ones character a Toon?
While I'm here, has there been any other mumblings about cross realm heirlooms?
