Does WoW need more minigames?

by Dawn Moore Mar 9th 2012 at 5:00PM

When I started playing WoW in 2006, I knew next to nothing about it. I had bought a copy to play with my boyfriend but did so while he was out of the country; it was my intent to surprise him with it when he got back. The unfortunate result of this was that I didn't really know what to do on my own and spent most of the time being eaten by murlocs.

Back then, the multiplayer aspect of WoW wasn't apparent to me. I had only ever joined groups to complete a few quests and didn't know what dungeons, raids, or Battlegrounds were. Because of this, I often remember thinking WoW wasn't a very good game because it was missing all sorts of basic elements that other games had. For example, I remember jumping in a river and thinking "Awesome, this will be a quick way to get to the southern side of the zone," only to realize a moment later there was no water current in WoW like there is in Legend of Zelda. "This is so lame," I thought.

WoW Moviewatch: Vashjir Harvest Moon

by Michael Gray Mar 2nd 2012 at 6:00PM

Whoa, trippy. It's occasionally nice to put on some chill background music while you're working around the house. It's even better when that music is accompanied by gorgeous, interesting visuals. I think Vashjir Harvest Moon by Croftzi just became one of my favorite videos for that.

Harvest Moon by Dan Stone is fairly compelling trance music, and Croftzi coupled it wonderfully with amazing visuals from WoW's token underwater zone. While I wouldn't have expected to get entranced by another camera-roams-landscape-wandering-samurai video, Croftzi's excellent blending of music and imagery did surprisingly well. This is a pretty fun video.

Profession racial abilities and how they will be changing.
The new direction for Alchemy.
A totally revamped Fishing system!
Archaeology details and speculation about the leveling process.
The evolution of Inscription.

Then, continue on to part three of this discussion to learn more about:

Reforging and (not) repairing our own gear.

Insider Trader: Crafting speculation in the Flower Kingdom

by Amanda Miller Apr 1st 2008 at 12:50PM

Insider Trader is your inside line on making, selling, buying and using player-made products.

To celebrate the kick-off of HKO-Insider, Insider Trader will be doing a bonus column this week! As the closed beta has only just been put in the works, there are understandably few details floating around.

Currently, we have confirmed at least the following professions:

Mining.
Gathering fruit from the wild.
Tailoring.
Furniture-crafting.
Farming.
Cooking.
House-building.

This week we will speculate on what we might see, and compose a wishlist for what we would like to see. Join us on Friday as we resume our normal schedule and delve deeper into the concept of mining as a profession, building on today's overview as well as player feedback.
