You’re sure to gobble up this group of wonderful pictures from readers who donned both feathers and beak in celebration of Turkey Day, 2008!
While waiting for our Lich King installs to complete, Mr. Phae was nice enough to explain to our dog why she wouldn’t be getting much attention from us this week. He summarized the epic, arcing plotline of Arthas and Northrend as such:
There was some guy in a big sheet of ice. And he froze some other guy. And now we have to fight ‘im.
Sometimes I’m not really sure why we’re on a roleplay server.

All these things can be done in 5 mans though. Riverwishs...
That’s pretty much how I see it too. High-5 to Mr. Phae!
Kestrels last blog post..I Love My Subscribers…And I Want More!
While we didn’t have the summary of the game here, I explained to my 13 year old that he had to learn to cook if he expected food this week. He’s more interested in FPS than WoW. Maybe we can all band together and create a temporary orphan center.

That sounds too much like someone else I know. Trust a guy to condense a completely epic storyline into… One line of text.
Gwyns last blog post..The Wrath Checklist
I have came to the conclusion that this site is 95% female.
With WotLK out, I have been trying to decide whether or not to level my druid. I have four 70s and my druid has still been my focus over the past three or so months. I have complete gear for resto, balance, and feral, so leveling in any way would be easy. And it wouldn’t take long at all to catch up with all the new Death Knights running around. It’s just that I’ve dumped over 10,000g into this toon and I don’t want to throw it all away
My best friend in the world is bored out of his mind with WoW and isn’t even remotely close to excited about WotLK. He has a 67 druid alt. You see where I’m going with this? Oh yeah… What to do, what to do!
@ Random- Hate to burst your bubble, but your assessment is probably incorrect. I am most assuredly (checks dirty parts) male. I’d wager that, if there is even a majority of visitors to the site that are female, that the gender ratio is very close.
That being said, those who visit here are fairly fanatical to the Druid class, so the answer is simple. Keep on twinking, make a brand new Druid to level up, and convince your friend to that he has chosen the 1 true path in WoW, and that it would be in everyone’s best interest that he continue to play his Druid.
@ Phae- That assessment is very accurate and succinct, and I could see it as appropriate from a RP perspective, since he is a human after all, and they are given to understatement and oversimplification in the interest of brevity.
You’re discomfort at such an explanation is also perfectly acceptable in RP. Since you are a Night Elf, you would prefer the “full story”. You come from a culture that literally had grown used to having eternity to quibble over all the minor details of *everything*. Ideally, the long winded epic you would have preferred would have been preferably presented in an artful and poetic fashion to please the mental pallette.
Sometimes a 1 liner is all you need.
Amradorns last blog post..Wrath: The Addiction
That is how I see it too Phae… I just can’t wait till it downloads!
Cuspers last blog post..I have Imp Blizzard… why is the company still the same?
It’s an interesting story, as is much of Blizzard’s stuff, but all we really need to know is that he’s got a fancy sword along with some other nifty thingamajigs, right?
Random change in subject, just figured I’d mention that I’m glad I stayed Resto for the expansion so far. My initial plan was to go kitty along with my brother, who would be going Arms. We also thought the dual specs were hitting as Wrath went live, which wasn’t the case, heh. I stayed Resto to grind some instances, but then we lost our group to fatigue. It was a good thing the dual specs didn’t go live. With moonfire tagging, hurricane, bladestorm, AE taunt, and heals we’ve been absolutely decimating Howling Fjord AE-style and hit 72 hours ago.
Even when soloing, I’m finding that resto is faring much better than I figured it would, simply because of hurricane and spell pushback changes. No real downtime, either. Resto is being great to me, and <3 it for that.
Last, if anyone here has been in Howling Fjord and climbed the mountain in the northeast area - that mountain simply owns. Be warned, though! You get a slow fall buff after finishing a quest there that we didn’t notice. In trying to take a shortcut down the mountain I almost landed right in the alliance city up there thanks to the floaty me - it’s dangerous, I tell you
I found the fact that he explained it to the dog more funny than the fact that it was a one liner.
I also warned my gf this morning I would be playing sometime over the weekend. Doesn’t matter that we have to pack, shop, move and attend birthdays, that game is going to be played. If that happens to be at 1 in the morning on Sat, doesn’t matter, it WILL be played…
Wise Foxs last blog post..A dark new threat
I think a better explanation would be: “We’re getting these shiny new pieces of plastic and we love them more than you.”
I would have to explain it to my BF like that and he’d still go… “Huh?”
Sophis last blog post..Playing Among the Mushrooms
My best friend is a guy and he LOVES the story lines. He’s very good at story-telling too. I do love Mr. Phae’s version though… some days there’s nothing like the basics to lay it out there for you. =D
Pixiedarks last blog post..Well, Now I’m Torn…
-laughs- I don’t have anyone to explain it to, but I do like his explanation.
Well, maybe except my NaNo.
My boy plays, no one else cares… So…
“Heeeey, NaNo? I know I was on track a few days ago, but I’m going to abandon you for a week or so for this other game you’ve been competing with ever since we’ve started. I do love you, and please, muse, don’t run away…
“What’s it about? Oh. Erm. Lots of shinies, new places, and grinding again. I hate grinding. And a Lich King — something about a big bad frozen supposedly-scary guy.”
Lins last blog post..Hacking the Roots
I know why you’re on an RP server. But don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about all the time you spend in Goldshire. I’ve got your back.
am currently juggling around with my talent points,
used to be full resto ^^
but was wondering, what do you think of this spec:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=0xGfuicoIbZZfchuMuxwz
was aiming at a spec that requires no shapeshifting, little downtime, and high solo value.
@Kestrel: Don’t encourage him. I happen to know he’s read all of these comments!
@Stepford Mom: Haha … Mr. Phae and I like to joke about how our kids will have to gather a quota of tradeskill materials every week to earn their allowance.
@Gwyn: I’d like to think it was for the sake of the dog’s understanding level. Which is essentially “Bacon”, “Treat”, “Outside”, and “Peanut.”
@Random: Ha! I don’t think the site’s audience is 95% female, given that there are still more males playing than females. Although it wouldn’t surprise me to find that the audience has a larger % female than the playerbase as a whole. P.S. I’m sure you know what advice I’d give.
@Yggdrasil: Wow. I guess he was roleplaying then, after all! Great perspective.
@Amradorn: Sometimes.
@Cusper: I assume it’s downloaded.
Having fun?
@Nilianil: GREAT point! And whether any of those thingamajigs have Spirit and spell power!! Glad to hear you’re having fun specced Resto! I’m doing the same with Mr. Phae’s new Gnome Warrior. I still want to try out deep Balance at least for a little while, but this is fun so far.
@Wise Fox: We have a very special dog.
(Yes, we’re THOSE kind of people. Ugh!)
@Crythia: *cries because it’s true*
@Sophi: Followed by questions about where he can find the loot, eh?
@Lin: Oh, Lin! I’m so sorry. Hopefully he returns to you soon … perhaps with a BoE blue or two instead of flowers!
@Currant: ^_^ What happens in Goldshire, stays in Goldshire.
@Kong: I quibble with including both Naturalist and Improved Regrowth in a build. The two seem redundant to me. I’d either drop Tranquil Spirit + Naturalist + Empowered Touch or Improved Regrowth. On the Balance side, I think that Improved Moonfire is overrated. Everything else looks fine. =)
