Geeez… I seem to have a bit of a Fail theme going on at the moment.
Anyway, the good news is that Blizzard fixed all those problems you folk have been experiencing if you did the Midsummer Festival activities last year…
With the added bonus that the bon fires have been reset, and you can do them again!
From Spooncraft:
Hey congratulations folks who did the Midsummer stuff last year and have felt screwed this year. Blizzard has applied a little fix on the servers that reset the quests so players regain access to all those blossoms. You need something like 400 of them to purchase all the gear required for the hot pole dance meta.
We are in the process of applying an in-game fix that will restart all of the quests associated with the Midsummer Fire Festival event and allow players to complete them once again. If you are in the process of completing an achievement such as Extinguishing Kalimdor, this fix will reset your progress and you will need start over. This fix will require realms to be restarted.
So where’s the fail in that? Continue Reading »

Just for the record my 1st Blogday is on the 26th 23rd 26th 23rd 26th ok, it really is the 23rd, or I should say, was because yesterday was the 23rd.
Now in my defense:
- I thought I wrote 3 posts before I made the blog public, but no. /memoryfail
- My wife will tell you I would forget my own name if it wasn’t tattooed on my forehead (in mirror so I get reminded every morning… Which I forgot to do). On the rare occasion I do remember something correctly and she doesn’t, we don’t go with my memory because there is less chance of me being right than the RNG giving a Artifact in a world drop. /memoryfail
- I don’t even remember my own birthday. Every birthday party is a surprise party, even when I organize it myself (assuming I remember to do that… which I don’t) /memoryfail
- I checked my stats page and it said June 26. That of course was the number of visits I had in my 1st 7 days. /comprehensionfail
The Dilemma
So now I am faced with a dilemma.
Do I:
- Stick with my original posting schedule, which sort of starts on Friday (but with no opening of gifts until Monday), or
- Post the raw responses without any contribution of my own, or
- Leak some starting from today?
The sensible option is 1). Screw you and take my time. Option 2) may work for some of the contributions, but definitely not all, and I am awaiting one late arrival. Option 3) is totally out of the question, except that, umm, I am only a squishy Mage, and a short one at that, and when you get pm’d by the most awesome fear inspiring Retadin in the whole of the World of Warcraft, well something has to give (apart from my bowels) Continue Reading »

Urrrghhh…. Friday /fail
It was our Non-Naxx, Non-Old World night…
The night that we take on VoA, OS and a little bit of Naxx (OK, so I lied about it being a non-Naxx night… but what else can we do?)
I put in a special request with my mates that we take on CoT Culling of Stratholme, for purely selfish reasons. I couldn’t bare the thought that a fellow blogger might have a Bronze Drake while I didn’t. Can’t have a Troll one-upping a Gnome now can we? They agreed, but it was going to be tight, so I made sure I was on early, ready and waiting…
Cookery Failery
Waiting… yeah, what to do while waiting… Cooking Achievements!
I had placed some pre-orders at the AH, so I grabbed nearly everything I would need from the mailbox, and got to it…
I had been gloating to Prelimar about how I had the recipe, so it was 1st cab off the rank. Continue Reading »

A Public Service announcement on behalf of Larisa… I think she’s having a Murloc Monday…
I quote:

Technical issues
Posted by Larísa
If you can read this post you’re not the one I’m trying to reach. Does this sound cryptic?
The thing is that it seems as if my old domain address http://pinkpigtailinn.blogspot.com doesn’t work. It used to redirect visitors to www.pinkpigtailinn.com, but not so any longer. I don’t know if this is a temporary issue or a permanent change of things. And no matter what it is – I have no idea what to do about it. So I just want to get out the word: please change your bookmarks and links to PPI to the new domain address, or my voice will be lost in the eternal sea of Internet.
But how could I get in touch with the ones who need to know it and tell them that their virtual pub hasn’t closed, just moved? I have no idea.
Proper posts are incoming later this week. Don’t lose hope!
Cheers from your innkeeper
Larisa
Gnomer and Out

Ever have Murloc Mondays?
The one’s where you crawl out of bed with a guttural thwirl…
- You spill the coffee
- You burn the toast.
- You forget to shave, or do your hair.
- Your zipper is undone
- Maybe you walk out the door and realize you still have your PJ’s on.
Maybe you walk out the door in your PJs and as the door slams you realize to don’t have your house keys on you (this happened to me once… I had to get a guy to being my spare key from work while I shivered on the side of the road… But then I wasn’t going to work that day, this the PJs.
I woke one morning recently, said Hi to Twitter, and was greeted by Strumpet101 with a
good morning sunshine
I responded Murloc style Continue Reading »

So the bastard sons and daughters will be acknowledged by their father in patch 3.2.
Now of course for many years now many players have considered twinkers bastards, especially when they enter battlegrounds with their stock standard toons for a bit of fun to break up the leveling grind.
I had a quick look through the patch notes this morning and noted that coming in patch 3.2 is the ability to stop earning XP.
This is awesome news on a whole lot of different levels, so let’s cover some of them Continue Reading »

I may be vain, but I think I rock!
Especially when I’m the last Gnome standing…
To be honest, it’s not the way I normally think of myself. I tend to focus more on the things I do wrong, rather than remembering the things I get right.
But I had one of those nights the other night that highlighted the things I got right, the biggest of them being staying alive… Most of the time… Continue Reading »

I have an itch to expand our Battleground options. I think battlegrounds are best, both for size and availability to the average gamer. Here’s what would be required, and the way I would love them to play out.
Ingredients:
Required:
- A minimum of two new battlegrounds
- A new level of flight training
- New battleground specific mounts/vehicles
- NPC targets
Aerial combat
This idea spawned from the joy I get from flying into the Caverns of Time and my desire to race my carpet in there… Which really has nothing to do with combat, but I think CoT would make a great battleground.
The basic premise is Horde v. Alliance mounted aerial combat. There are a couple of phases to it though.. Continue Reading »

I have been a little tardy in spreading the word on this one, but I see that other Mage blogs have been doing their bit, and WoW.com gave it a plug the other day, so I didn’t feel I was failing the Mage community.
However, on the off chance that you only read one Mage blog, and that’s this one, let me tell you about it… Continue Reading »

Well, the 1st 20 minutes at least, but let me come back to that.
I was accused during the week of being vain! Can you believe that!
- Sure I like myself, a lot…
- Sure I am a handsome Gnome, very…
- Sure I like to take screenshots, of myself, from all sorts of angles…
- Sure I like to run down my teammates (or kill them, whichever makes the better story), to make myself look better…
But vain?
Ok, maybe a little.
Squishing Spiders
Ok, where was I? Continue Reading »
