2009 Wrap Up, The Pink Pigtail Inn List

Larissa over at Pink Pigtail Inn has started a 2009 awards show! How exciting does that sound? Anyway as I love to ramble I found it too hard to give succinct nominations via a comment on her blog, and instead decided to post it as a blog of my own.

15 Things You Should Know About
the Dungeon Finder

Guess which feature of 3.3 had me the most excited? Not Icecrown Citadel (a gated raid instance launched at the start of the holiday season?), not hasted Devouring Plague and Vampiric Touch. The new cross-battlegroup Dungeon Finder matching system.

Why is Hardcore Such a Dirty Word?

The term “hardcore” has become a dirty word. No one wants to be labeled as a hard core player; in fact everyone will do what they can to twist the meaning of casual just to make sure that they seem to fit into this category and no one could ever accuse them of being a hardcore player.

Spinning Emblems into Gold

You can convert your Emblems of Conquest into epic gems. You’ll need to exchange your Emblem of Conquest for an Emblem of Valor and then exchange those for Emblems of Heroism.
