It came from the Blog: Join us for Winter Veil 2012

by Robin Torres Dec 27th 2012 at 12:00PM

This Saturday, join It came from the Blog for some Winter Veil fun. I've planned some non-traditional holiday activities which are guaranteed to include the following: achievements, mortal danger, virtual beer drinking, travel. I'm hoping to avoid nudity this time around, but no promises. Here are the particulars:

When: Saturday, Dec. 29 at Noon EST (9 a.m. PST, 10 a.m. server)
Where: Meet under the Winter Veil Tree in Orgrimmar on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
Who: Any Horde character level 10 or above
How: Ask Tizzi or any It came from the Blog member for an invite, if you are not already part of our family of guilds

If you have snowballs and a Gaudy Winter Veil Sweater, you'll want to bring those. Otherwise, they are available for just a few copper from the Smokywood Pastures vendors. Money will be provided if you don't have enough coins in your pockets.

So join us for our last event of the year. We hope to see you there!

Please join us on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H) in <It came from the Blog>. Guild ranks of Blog Lurker or above can invite, so /whisper Robiness or any online member. You are all welcome as long as you play by our simple rules -- basically, don't be a funsucker! Visit the guild FAQ for more details.

It came from the Blog: Random dungeon groups LFM again

by Robin Torres Dec 19th 2012 at 7:00PM

Last week, level 15 Crikkit ran the Dungeon Finder along with four other It came from the Blog members and another full group. We acquired achievements, completed challenges and leveled to 20. This week, we'd like to be even more successful, and you are welcome to join us.

When: Thursday, Dec. 20 (tomorrow) at Noon EST (9 a.m. PST, 10 a.m. server time)
Where: Meet at the fishing hole in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
Who: Any Horde character within a couple levels or so of Crikkit, who is level 21
How: Ask Crikkit or any It came from the Blog member for an invite to the guild
What: Weekly Dungeon Finder groups

Crikkit is a mistweaver and will be healing using her monk-like ways. If you'd like to play a healer, there should be enough other people to form more groups. Last week we only had two groups, but that's because we didn't have enough healers to go around.

More details are after the break.

It came from the Blog: Random dungeon group LFM

by Robin Torres Dec 12th 2012 at 4:00PM

Every month, It came from the Blog hosts an event for fun and sometimes profit, so we'll definitely be having a Feast of Winter Veil romp after the holiday begins. In the meantime, and until further notice, Crikkit the pandaren mistweaver monk is going to be dungeoning up to at least 85 and she wants to do so with friends.

Starting tomorrow and every Thursday hereafter, level 15 Crikkit will be randoming dungeons with whomever shows up to join her.

When: Thursdays starting Thursday, Dec. 13 (tomorrow) at Noon EST (9 a.m. PST, 10 a.m. server time)
Where: Meet at the fishing hole in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
Who: Any Horde character within one or two levels of Crikkit at the time -- this week, levels 15 and 16
How: Ask Crikkit or any It came from the Blog member for an invite to the guild

I'll PUG if I have to, but there are already a couple of guildies signed up to attend and I'm hoping we'll have more -- particularly as the weeks go by. If we get too many, I'll choose from those whom I'm comfortable with and where our needs lie. If we have leftovers, we will do what we always do and form more than one group with a common chat channel.

It came from the Blog: Pandamonium snapshots

by Robin Torres Dec 2nd 2012 at 6:00PM

Once upon a time, there were many, many pandaren. They loved to play and kill and put wild creatures in cages. Then one night, they had an idea. It wasn't an original idea. Everyone has it at one point or another. But it was an important idea that was to shape their destiny forever. And that idea was "Party!"

Now, you know what happens when you get a bunch of pandas together to party: you get Pandamonium! First thing they did was get nekkid. Oh did I mention these pandaren were from the It came from the Blog family of guilds? That's an important detail, as those are a rowdy, drunken bunch who like to take their clothes off and/or run into dangerous territory and/or jump off of things. Spoilers.

The story continues ...

Reminder: It came from the Blog's Pandamonium is tonight

by Robin Torres Nov 29th 2012 at 9:00AM

Crikkit awaits you in Orgrimmar for It came from the Blog's Pandamonium. Actually, she's just parked there until the event, but still, she's waiting somewhere in the great virtual cosmos.

When: Tonight, Nov 29 at 10:30 p.m. EST (7:30 p.m. PST, 8:30 p.m. server time)
Where: Meet in front of Garrosh's room in Orgrimmar on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
Who: Any Horde pandaren who is off the island and has already been berated by Garrosh
How: Ask Crikkit or any It came from the Blog member for an invite
What: Pandamonium

What will Pandamonium entail? I'm not telling lest the Alliance decide to ambush us. I will say that a bunch of pandas (no non-pandaren or funsuckers allowed) will be doing something that will likely end in death. You'll just have to join us to find out what's going on.

Remember, Crikkit is waiting ... kinda.

Please join us on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H) in It came from the Blog. Any guild rank can invite, so /whisper Crikkit or any online member. You are all welcome as long as you play by our simple rules -- basically, don't be a funsucker! Visit the guild FAQ for more details.

It Came From the Blog: Join us for Pandamonium

by Robin Torres Nov 26th 2012 at 3:00PM

Pandaren. Many pandaren. Many pandaren running. Many pandaren dying. Many pandaren corpses. Pandaren.

When: Thursday, Nov 29 at 10:30 p.m. EST (7:30 p.m. PST, 8:30 p.m. server time)
Where: Meet in front of Garrosh's room in Orgrimmar on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H)
Who: Any Horde pandaren who is off the island and has already been yelled at by Garrosh
How: Ask Crikkit or any It came from the Blog member for an invite
What: Pandamonium

I (Crikkit) am not saying what exactly we're doing because we know some of you are Alliance spies. Of course, if you were to make a pandaren to infiltrate us, we probably wouldn't notice. You might even have fun. I'm sure your allies will forgive you some enjoyment while you spy on us evil Horde pandas.

If you don't already have a pandaren on Zangarmarsh, you should have plenty of time to make one before Thursday. Then you'll have a level 10+ character to join any future events, as they all require the ability to join a raid.

So bring your pandas and get ready for some Pandamonium.

You can always depend on the kindness of strangers

by Olivia Grace Sep 17th 2012 at 9:00AM

Since I began studying the social and community nature of WoW, was lucky enough to land a job here at WoW Insider, and joined twitter not long after, I've been blown away by the WoW community. Sure, it's not always perfect, sometimes we have our ups and downs, but most of the time this game brings people together in ways that, to this day, continue to surprise me.

So, when I received an email from Dtail of Vashj EU, in which he asked about a particular addon, and also mentioned that his server had such a low population that he couldn't find anyone to sign his guild charter to get a guild bank set up, I suddenly thought "hold on a minute, I bet the WoW community could help Dtail out!"

When I wrote up the Addon Spotlight, I included a plea for help getting Dtail's guild charter signed, and to my surprise I received a fair few responses! I then took to twitter, thinking that asking there could be a good move, and that I could hopefully communicate with anyone who was interested in helping out. It wasn't a lofty goal, particularly, to get 3 players together, but asking for help from what are essentially strangers is always a little daunting.

WRUP: Let's get physical

by Fox Van Allen Aug 11th 2012 at 8:00PM

Every week, just at the start of the weekend, we catch up with the WoW Insider staff and ask them, "What are you playing this week?" -- otherwise known as: WRUP. Join us to see what we're up to in and out of game, and catch us in the comments to let us know what you're playing, too!

Those of you who have been following my personal life know that I just moved to Southern California a month or two ago. There's been quite a bit of culture shock -- everything in LA is so pretty (minus the architecture) that even I, a relatively good-looking dude, felt a little insecure.

But did I wallow in despair? No, I did not, my friend -- I did something about it. I got a gym membership and a personal trainer. I went out and I got physical. I wanted to let them hear my body talk, my body talk.

I mean, I've been patient, I've been good, tried to keep my hands on the table. It's gettin' hard this holdin' back, you know what I mean? I'm sure you'll understand my point of view, we know each other mentally. You gotta know that you're bringin' out the animal in me.

So strap on your finest leg warmers, and envision this page covered with bright neon colors, unusual moving shapes, and the occasional '80s-style squiggle. After all, it's time to get physical with this week's WRUP!
