I'm back - sort of. While we wait for stuff up #209 to get addressed (phone line installed to the wrong side of the house) I've begged, groveled and provided beer and chocolates to the couple next door to allow me to share their internet. We've set up a wireless connection that is currently trying to go through two brick walls and a 6 foot wide garage - needless to say, it's a little slower than what I am used to.
Currently trying to get a 3028 emails downloaded  and then there's the reading of 3028 emails LOL. I'll get there... by 2010.

News Update!

Blog RSS Feeds
I've put in a new section under The Tavern titled Member Blogs. This section of the forum is a simple RSS feed of all the blogs posted to better help promote them. Currently, new blog entries don't show up when you click 'New Posts' or 'Today's Posts', so new entries get missed. And since the blog feature is also a new addition, a lot of people aren't aware of it's existence. Hence, the reason for this section. 
Twice a day, any new blogs posted will have a copy shared here for everyone to read. This section is closed off to new posts, as well as replies to any of the threads. If you wish to comment on any blogs you read here, please click the "post a comment" link found at the bottom of every post. For those wanting to have a look over the new Blogs section, please see here: The Warlocks Den Forums - Blogs
Rate my gear!!
The "Rate my Gear" Threads section of the forums has been opened and is currently being worked on. The original Rate the Warlock Above you's gear thread has been moved in and closed off on the very auspicious post count of 666. I've kicked off thread #2 and highlighted the rules in the very first post. This thread is designed for an 'overall' valuation of your equipment more than specific or personalized advice. Have a look at the start of the thread to understand it, take note of the layout and then jump on in for comments, feedback, praise or suggestions for improvements!
A huge 'woo hoo' for all those replies on page one (with a couple of page 2) for not only following the format laid out, but providing such wonderful, thought out responses! Now if everyone can follow that example, it will become one very helpful thread! 
Site Sponsor...
We have our very first, ever, site sponsor! If you're sick of the zwinky ads, tired of the 'get a new fantastic cursor' or 'glittery name' ads, if you are desperate for more gaming and especially WoW related ads, you'll be very happy to hear that there will be a new advertisement floating around the site from Killer Guides! I won't spoil the surprise of showing the ad here, but keep your eyes open!
Note: Killer Guides do not have any gold selling advertisements, or take part in the transactions of gold selling, power leveling or anything else against the Blizzard ToS.

April Guide Competition Reminder
~ Am I ready for Kharazan? ~
Something that comes up A LOT! Is my gear ready for Kara? Is my spec ok for Kara? Do I have enough spell damage for Kara?
It's an instance that a lot of you will have either completed or at least dabbled in, so hopefully there should be a large amount of people able to offer some insight. I'm after a beginners guide - a guide to help stop all the threads asking the questions above. What you put in it is completely up to you, however some things you might want to include can be found here: April Guide Competition - The Warlocks Den Forums
There's just 10 days left to get your entries in! Remember - there are prizes to be won!  See the thread above for more information, prizes on offer and how to submit your guide! So far there have only been 2 entries submitted...

Den Support Tag Clarification
Apr 18, 2008 - 7:01 PM - by Akasha
|
Just a quick update to the announcement about the new Den Supporter Tags - these tags are for donations made separate to the Ad Free subscription. Those that choose to take up the ad free subscription do so mostly because they don't like the advertisements, as well as to help out the site. Taking that subscription also comes with the added benefits of the avatar, blue name, signature, blog etc.
Not everyone wants those features, or can part with the $15 required for the ad free subscription, (or some wonderful, wonderful people want to contribute more). The Den supporter tag is my way of saying thankyou and recognizing the people who choose to donate towards the site.
Note: Donations and the Ad Free subscription options are found under the Paid Subscriptions section of your User CP.

Well after a lot of playing around, giving up in frustration, going back etc.. I have finally finished the new Den Supporter Tags! These are given out to people who choose to donate to the site - all donations are put directly back into the site (hosting costs, server costs etc) as well as providing the competition prizes.
As always, a huge thankyou goes out to the wonderful people who choose to part with their hard earned dollars.  I have allocated tags to all those on my list (including some 2007 supporters - sorry for taking so long!), but if I have missed you, please just let me know.
New tags:
Aren't they preeeeetty?
A special thankyou goes out to snackereen and BigShox ...

Server down discussions
Apr 15, 2008 - 9:09 AM - by Akasha
|
While the US servers are down for extended maintenance (on the one night I had planned nothing but WoW /thumbs nose), I thought it would be a good chance to highlight some of the wonderful discussions happening on the forums:
Battlegrounds & premades
Started by MrUnderpants, this 5 page discussion is up the issue of the recent change to match pre-made groups against pre-made groups, leaving PuG's to battle other PuG's. Some think this is a wonderful move forward, while others are not so happy. Have a read through and share your thoughts - Battlegrounds premades - The Warlocks Den Forums
PvE Vs PvP server
Another thread kicked off recently, Elricc started on a PvP server and has had the unpleasant time of many gankings. Recently the move to a PvE server has opened a whole new experience, and asks the questions - Does anyone else find PvE server much easier? Are there any down sides to a PvE over a PvP server? Another great 5 page discussion to spend some time reading and to share your thoughts on - PvE Vs PvP server - The Warlocks Den Forums
Don't you ever wish u were a <class>
This thread was brought back from the dead to revive a new discussion from members. The original poster commented that at times they wish they were another class and possed the question to everyone else. It's an interesting read, even if only to make me feel more normal with my 1001 alt characters. Wait, can they be called alts if you don't have a 'main'?

Weekly Blog Update!
Apr 13, 2008 - 7:13 AM - by Akasha
|
Well it was a week ago today that I announced the new feature added for Subscribers - Blogs! Provided not only for the subscribers to have a place to tell the tales of their in game adventures (or just ramble on about anything), but also in the hope to find a couple of undiscovered talented writers to add something new to the site. WoW Insider is such a popular site, which is basically a whole group of Bloggers, so I am hoping to tap into a couple of Warlock writers of my own!
Each week I will post an update to highlight blog entries posted to help those unaware of their existence find them, as well as highlight the hard work of those writing the stories. So let's kick it off shall me?
The Chronicles of Pernicious
Taken from Pernicious' first entry: I happen to be fairly well versed on the Lore of Warcraft (having read all the novels, traversed the World of Warcraft, played the previous games, and drown myself in the wiki daily). How could I use that to my advantage? Well, I thought I'd try my hand at writing a story set in the World of Warcraft with my character, Pernicious.
The story takes place just at the dawn of the Burning Crusade, while the Sin'dorei (blood elves) were entering the folds of the Horde. It also contains flash backs to key storylines in the Warcraft Timeline that also will relate well to the next Expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. Sit back and enjoy, and feel free to comment on what you think. I'm no expert story teller but I'll try to create something worth reading.- Chapter 1: Redemption
The moon hung over head dull and lifeless in the gray mist. The air was still and stagnant and the world around Pernicious was completely silent save from the occasional piercing howl. The smell of rotten flesh was everywhere, much different from his homeland in Quel'Thalas... [Read on...]
- Chapter 2: The White Wolf
Pern was startled to see the at he wasn't the focus of the attack, and even more startled to learn that whatever the wolf was ripping apart had managed to get that close to him without his notice. He watched the wolf growl and bite and rip at the body under him until, several minutes later,... [Read on...]
Rhia's Progress
BloodElfArmy's blog following the day to day progress of his second Warlock Rhia. Diaries of a warlock
I just love a blog that starts off with "... I love this website. It is a warlock's dream come true." RomaGoth jumped right in with his first blog entry asking the million dollar question - Why so much hate for the Warlocks?- My very first blog entry!
We all know that in the "real world of WoW" nobody gives us the time of day unless they need DPS. Why the dislike, no, hate, for warlocks? Simple. Because we are freaking cool to look at, we have cool gear, and our abilities/talents/spells are the best in the game. Also, we have a little thing called Fear. Death Coil. Howl of Terror. I love warlocks. That is why I am going to roll 2 more of them (both horde, both on PvP realms)... [Read on...]
And voila - our first three bloggers and their postings to date. I eagerly await next weekend to see what else has been added!
