Breaky — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 20:09:34 +0000

The Electronic Sports League (ESL) wrapped up yesterday with team SK defeating Gravitas Gaming (Duelist going for glad) in the Finals.

The Titles of Wotlk

Breaky — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 16:19:05 +0000

Pre-BC, the honor system and titles that were earned represented how “good” or how much time you spent in battlegrounds, with different opinions from many on what the true meaning of the titles meant. High Warlords and Grand Marshals were either respected for what they had accomplished, or laughed at for all the mindless [...]

Breaky — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:11:56 +0000

Hunter pets have always been an issue in arena, especially when it comes to survivability. A big reason for their lack of survivability is no resilience, but we might see that changed in wotlk. “The burst issue is one worth more discussion. We have hesitated giving resilience to pets because to some extent we do [...]
