Dear Wowhead... (Episode 1)

Malgayne
Sincerely, Malgayne.That's right, boys and girls! Welcome to "Dear Wowhead", the advice column for Wowhead users!\r
\r
If all goes well we should be able to make this a regular column.\r
\r
Our first letter comes to us directly from the Rogue's Quarter, deep underneath Lordaeron!\r
\r
Dear Wowhead,\r
\r
I'm a member of the Forsaken. I live in the southeastern quarter of the Undercity, in a small alcove with six other dead people. Unfortunately, on the day that Undertaker Mordo recovered me from my grave, I was the only one raised. My family wasn't raised with me.\r
\r
This Winter Veil will be the first time I've ever celebrated the holiday alone. How do you cope with loneliness? How can I honor my family background, without living in the past?\r
\r
Sincerely,\r
Lonely For The Holidays

Gear Check: Razer Lycosa, DeathAdder, Destructor

Razer Lycosa Gaming KeyboardOne of the things I've always liked about World of Warcraft is the fact that it is a relatively low maintenance PC game - it doesn't require the most hardcore hardware and expensive doodads in order to still provide an enjoyable gaming experience. I remember when I first started playing WoW, in May of 2005, I was playing on a salvaged Hewlett-Packard desktop with barely a month left of life in it, reveling in the much-loved experience of on-board video and way less than a gig of RAM.\r
\r
I played through a ton of content on this machine, eventually upgrading my RAM so I wouldn't always die in C'Thun's
Dark Glare
. I played on this machine thru Burning Crusade and all the way into Black Temple until the PC would finally have no more, and began greeting me with a Blue Screen of Death every raid. It was then I swore I would have no more of this foolishness, and I built the beloved PC I have today. It's gone through a few hardware upgrades, a new video card here, a new sound card there.\r
\r
One thing I hadn't ever really put much thought into upgrading was i

For the Horde...?

Wear your colors proud!If you can't tell from the artwork at the top \u2013 that Blood Elf on the left is me \u2013 I'm a Horde player. I was an Alliance player for all of seven levels before I made the switch, and made the switch for good. Now I have my Blood Elf paladin main, a Troll mage and an Undead warlock alt, and scattered other random characters (I know I still have a shaman somewhere). I picked a server, I picked a faction, and I stuck with it. I rolled Horde side on Draenor and I never looked back.\r
\r
Or did I?\r
\r
Sometimes...I...I'm not sure I feel comfortable saying this. Sometimes...I wish I had rolled Alliance.

Emergency Security Warning

According to Microsoft, there is a major hole in Internet Explorer (versions 5.01, 6, 6 SP1, and 7) which can potentially be used to install keyloggers on your system. News reports indicate that this exploit is primarily being used to steal World of Warcraft passwords. I strongly recommend everyone IMMEDIATELY update their version of Windows (a regular Windows Update should do it) to resolve this issue.\r

Just a heads up!\r

Now That I'm 80...

Wrath of the Lich King has now officially been out for an entire month. For many players the mad rush to hit max level is done. For others there are still a few levels to go. In either case, there's one big question which plagues most minds when ascending the final plateau \u2013 What happens next?\r
\r
What to do when reaching level eighty is at the core of our topic today. I'll start off with some examples of some interesting things one may have missed in their journey. Special items, factions, and dungeons \u2013 let's explore our options for max level in 3.0.\r

Skills to Pay the Bills: Cooking

Skills to Pay the Bills is a three-part feature that will cover the important details of leveling the secondary tradeskills of Fishing, First Aid and Cooking in Wrath of the Lich King. These posts are written for the player entering Northrend with all secondary professions already maxed (at 375 skill). For information on leveling tradeskills prior to 375, check out the Profession Leveling Guides sticky on our forums!\r
\r
Part 3: Cooking\r
\r
What's cooking?Before I become the Cooking Mama of Northrend for you, I'll get my opinion right out, right now - leveling Cooking is at least five times more annoying than it ever was before Wrath of the Lich King.\r
\r
Once upon a time I had this fantasy of becoming the Realm First! Cooking Grand Master on my realm, being the first player to reach 450 cooking. This dream was shattered by a terrible cooking leveling system relying on reagents and recipes obtained only via completing daily quests and a (now hotfixed) awf
