Phaelia Some Follow-Up

Published on February 26, 2009 by Phaelia

First of all, allow me to say how much I appreciate the outpouring of gratitude and support I’ve received since posting Resto4Life Closing Its Doors. It’s truly overwhelming, and I can’t be more thankful to everyone who’s spoken to me – directly, through comments, through e-mail, or through their own blogs – with nothing but kind words. Wow!

Secondly, I’ve realized that I could have been clearer in terms of how you can submit your screenshot for the “Farewell” competition. Here is some additional information:

  1. You can submit your image(s) by e-mailing them to.
  2. All entries must be submitted on or before March 12th to give me plenty of time to prepare the post.
  3. TGA, JPG, or PNG are all acceptable formats.
  4. You must be in some Druid form or in one of the class-specific armor sets so that I can verify your Druid identity.
  5. I would appreciate also if you could let me know if you happen to live outside the U.S. or Canada so I know whether you are eligible to win the Nostromo N52te.
  6. I’m going to do the give away in game on March 19th at 9 PM EST in the Shadowglen starting area in Teldrassil on my home server, Scarlet Crusade (US). Shadowglen is the starting town for Night Elf Druids.
  7. You need not be present to be eligible to win, and you need not have submitted a picture to come hang out with all the baby Druids (Restoforwife, I’m looking at you).
  8. Because of the tremendous number of shirts that have been ordered in the last few days, I’m also able to offer two shirts as “runner-up” prizes in the “roll off” competition! Thanks, everyone!
  9. No, I’m not giving away naming rights to our baby. Nice try, though! :-)

Fimlys and Bre, cohosts of the Twisted Nether Blogcast have very graciously invited me onto their upcoming show. I had to decline recording it live because a) I might get overly emotional and b) I’d definitely be over-nervous, but I am looking forward to recording on Friday (shows are typically released at some time the following week).

My contact form has apparently been borked since the last time I tried to “fix” it. If you sent me a message that way, please send me an e-mail instead. I’ve been unable to respond to Ako of Tortheldrin (US) or Imparatus of Azgalor (US) so far.

Finally, I realize that I wasn’t clear about the future of the site. As far as I can foresee, Resto4Life will remain online at least until the next expansion (the only thing that would change this would be if something went catastrophically wrong with it). I’m a web developer so having some web space available to me is always a good thing. As such, while I appreciate the several offers of hosting I’ve received, I’m happy to continue hosting it myself. Thank you, though. :-)

    They say Phae is closing her doors,
    It is she who I thank, she does all the chores.
    If its math or advice, or just an email,
    It is she who responds with a smile, never fails.

    From a scrubby bush to a grand majestic tree,
    It is her insight that lifts the resto in me
    Nothing is too big, no fight is too small
    Hers is the insight brightning Naxxramas to Dire Maul.

    What can I do, is there some suitable tribute?
    Here in Australia, I lift my glass and salute.
    To the grandest of trees, and the biggest of boots
    Three cheers to your family, who is expecting new roots.

    Phae, no poet am I, but words cannot express,
    The order you bring from the noise and the mess.
    Warcraft without your blog, please say its not so…
    But the finale’s on stage, we applaud as you as you go.

    …

    Phae,
    I am a long long time lurker, and every so often I have gotten the courage to post a comment or send an email, and each time you’ve made me feel special with a personal reply or acknowledgment. You correct my misconceptions gently and constructively and offer so much positive advice. I’ve learned so much in being an end game druid from you and cherish all your replies.

    Congratulations on your new family to be, and I hope that you enjoy a lifes forfillment in what is to come.

    High thoughts, respects and regards
    Arranum, (Greg)
    Melbourne Australia,
    Eventide, 27th of February 2009.

    I wanted to add my voice to the chorus in thanking you so much for this wonderful blog and the resources you have provided. You changed everything about how I play and how I understand my class. Many congratulations on the little one and best of luck to you. Your humility and grace humble me.

    I will certainly be at that party! It’s a shame I won’t be able to do the tree dance, though. :\

    I just read your previous and this post and I am saddened to hear that my first ever regular Druid Blog Read is going away. Of course the reasons are much more happy than any sadness on my part could be. So congratulations and thank you so very much for making this great blog for such a long time!

    This is the blog that inspired me to start my own – even if I could never reach the quality.

    <3 Resto4Life: I wish you all the best and tons of happiness for your future!

    Night elf? With no tree form!?
    Damn. You must have been good to make me do this.

    :P

    Luckily Vargarth wasn’t taken, so I hope to be there to see you sent off with a huge group of migrant druids!

    Hey Phae, do you have a small image of Phae in one of her many outfits or the resto4life tree logo that I can have your permission to use for the facebook group I just created?
    It’s called

    I will miss your knowledge and your grace in dealing with your readers. Great joy and luck to you and your family. Too bad we won’t get to see Phaelia now that she’s ‘in bloom’

    I hope to attend the event and give my best regards.

    I also just finished listening to the farewell podcast, and would like to compliment that you did all of this (blogging, commenting, occasionally playing XP) so selflessly. There will truly never be another druid blogger like you.

The Sprout(ed) Seed (79)

Tsuki
I’m so late that little Colin ain’t swimming on his mini-shirt anymore by now. And Mr. Phae and the classic “drooling daddy” face, priceless. Grats Phae and family!

Rayvis
First I want to say congratulations on your new baby boy, albeit a little late. As a Druid myself, formerly Resto even, I found this to be pretty awesome. I had my first child in October, also a boy. He just happens to have the exact same onesie that you’re little boy is wearing in the video. It’s my favorite outfit of his because I am my son’s superhero! As a side note, I hope you’re enjoying your new seed. They grow like weeds though and you start wondering...

Snowmaidn
I certainly never looked that good when I sprouted my seedlings. Thanks for all the great advice on this site. Things have changed a lot over the years and 60 was the highest you could go when I last played before this year. I got back into the game again about 6 months ago after taking a 4 year break when I was pregnant with my daughter.

Zackoria
Curses! I’m so behind the times!! Grats Phae on the new kiddo! Now just wait till he’s a teenager! XD Many heart felt wishes! ^_^

Warmama
OMG! I just found out! Congratulations! As you’ve recently discovered, being a MaMa is the absolute best. Who knew you could love someone so much, right? All the best to you and your family.

This is actually really useful – thanks for this! Is it still current and user friendly? I somehow managed to get up to 740 Haste without trying, and even with scrapping all haste enchants and gems – I am still languishing on 723 :(
Ark Inventory (2)

Kengur
I’ve been using this addon since I started playing some over a year now. I can’t imagine wow without it since. To swap bags you can right click the one you wish to free up and select ‘filter’. Then drag all the stuff into another bag. Also you could just swap a bag from inventory to your bank still full of stuff.
Debuffing Your Focus Target (19)

Thanks for posting this! What an amazing macro! I’m a Shaman and I use it for Flame Shock (dot)/Lava Burst and Wind Shear (spell interrupt)/Earth Shock (debuff).

Thorns Damage Scaling with Spell Power (18)

I think they changed it to use caster’s spellpower now, worth swapping specs and gear to buff yourself if you are a feral tank then i’d imagine
