I am a student currently studying Creative Writing. I have a strong passion for writing, as well as video games. Growing up I was a huge Blizzard fan, playing most of the games in the Diablo, Starcraft, and Warcraft series. I also played many RPGs on Playstation and on the computer.

    Over the years, Blizzard has added many features to improve World of Warcraft. Some of these features are uniquely ideas from Blizzard, while others are things from other games that Blizzard has tweaked to make them work in WoW.

    As with most games, especially giant MMO’s like World of Warcraft, it is hard to please everybody. In WoW, an example of this is the division between “casual” and “hardcore” players. It seems whenever a new patch comes out there is always someone complaining: “Oh Blizzard is just catering to the casuals” or “Man, Blizzard...

    With the release of Mists of Pandaria came a huge change to how PvP gear works in WoW. Blizzard implemented a new stat, PvP Power, which increases damage done to players, as well as healing done to players in PvP situations. Let me start off by saying that I like this change. It makes PvP...

    Since the release of Mist’s of Pandaria, I have been using these weekly posts to discuss things that related mostly to PvE. This is because, as a raider, it is the content I experienced first, thus I had opinions about them sooner. I decided this week, however, to look more into the new PvP features...

    Well, its that time in the expansion again. Though MoP was packed with a ton of new content, some of which I have yet to experience, I have begun to level some of my other characters to 90. At first, I thought it would not be too bad; my first time leveling through MoP was...

    The new Mists of Pandaria has been part of many jokes since it was announced. Whether it be the similarity the game shares with Dream Works movie Kung-Fu Panda, or the fact that the new pet battles system is an exact rip-off of Pokemon, both players and non-players found it quite easy to make fun...

    On September 25th, Blizzard released the fourth expansion for their hit MMORPG, World of Warcraft. This expansion, titled Mists of Pandaria, takes players on an epic journey to venture into the mysterious continent of Pandaria. Quite honestly, I was quite hesitant about buying this new expansion.

    When comparing the new Mists of Pandaria expansion to the previous Cataclysm expansion, one of the biggest differences is how difficult the Heroic dungeons were. Most players still remember the Cataclysm Heroics, being difficult enough to make these instances hard to do with a PuG group. The difficulty of these heroics, along with other factors,...

    Daily quests have become a big part of World of Warcraft over the years. However, in Mists of Pandaria, it seems that they have become an even more important part, since players need to get reputation with certain factions in order to spend Valor Points. Unfortunately, the only way to earn reputation with these factions...

    It’s finally here! The Mists of Pandaria! Like many other World of Warcraft players when the expansion dropped, I eagerly dove straight in, leveling my character as fast as possible. During most other expansions, I have tried to do whatever I can to ease the leveling process. I am not a fan of questing at...
