The Daily Quest: Altoholic
WoW Insider's on a Daily Quest to bring you interesting, informative, and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.
Last week, I bought a Winged Guardian for my main account because the lure of the fluffy glowing kitty was too great to resist. After claiming it on my main, I began the process of logging on to my alts and claiming the kitty, character by character. That's when I logged on to a rogue I hadn't played since just after BWL came out in patch 1.6.0.
It was like opening a time capsule. The character (a twink at the time) was decked out with two blue weapons, both enchanted with Fiery Weapon. She was loaded up with Flash Powder and Blinding Powder, neither of which do anything anymore -- but they brought a smile to my face, regardless.
I probably ought to work on leveling my alts at some point, but I think I will leave that particular alt be for now, as a reminder of how things were way back when. Today, we've got some sage advice for fellow altoholics, as well as some other tips gathered from around the blogosphere.
Is there a story out there we ought to link or a blog we should be following? Just leave us a comment, and you may see it here tomorrow! Be sure to check out our WoW Resources Guide for more WoW-related sites.

Seeing as you recently loged the rogue, can you link said toons armory as a chuckle to us long time players!

You know what's really weird? We invited someone through the LFGuild feature, and the guy basically used it as an opportunity to try to recruit for his actual guild. It was utterly bizarre.

I did the same thing recently due to the "fluffy glowing kitty". Found a lvl19 twink Warlock that I hadn't been on in a while...he had all blues and was maxed (for his level) in Engineering/Alchemy. Very nostalgic to see what he had, that's for sure.
Side note...it's funny how many whispers I get from other players that hate on my new glowing kitty mount. Can't pin down whether it is just trolling or jealousy... XD

I thought trolling and jealousy were essentially the same thing.

I LOVE the flavor text on the now-gray Blinding Powder. :D

The new warlock blog Wisdom of the Nether Scrolls has a long post discussing the 4.2 patch notes and how the three specs play right now. http://netherscrolls.panshin.net/?p=26

The WOW Debutante has some funny/informative posts this week concerning cool RP gear. One is about what WOW toons would wear to a big event/red carpet look, and the one today is about the Lady in Red.... Check it out at:
