Devil’s Advocate – Easy Raiding

Devil Necrall

The sound of fighting echoes across Stratholme as the Scarlet Crusade fight their daily fight with the Scourge that remains in the city. The flames lick across the ruined buildings unimpeded by the rain that showers down. Even after three years, the streets are still strewn with mutilated corpses, both human and undead. In the upper floor of one building there sits another corpse in an old rocking chair, just watching the streets below, unbothered by the fighting, the rain or the fire.

The corpse waves his hand, summoning a bolt of flame which incinerates a passing ghoul. A soft chuckle escapes his lips as the screaming ghoul runs into a crowd of Scourge setting them all ablaze. “Which resident were you, I wonder,” he mutters as he immolates another ghoul, “so many people, so many lives lost” he sighs, blasting another ghoul. He scowls, crushing the arm of the chair he sits in, the wood turning to splinters in his fingers he climbs to his feet and roars, “HOW LONG!! HOW LONG TILL I HAVE MY VENGEANCE.” roaring he slams his arms down his sides as the rain turns from water to fire, adding to the flames already consuming the city.

Devil’s Advocate – Someone who takes an opposing position for the sake of argument, regardless of whether they agree with the stance they defend or not. This column will do just that, take a point of QQ and argue the opposite side.

“A bright and shiny new day. I feel like playing some World of Warcraft.”

“Now. Who shall I play today? I think my Paladin, let’s see if I can get a raid group and beat up some monsters. I certainly hope I don’t run into an awkward player demanding insane achievements.”

Devil’s Advocate: Vanilla Servers

Devil Necrall

“Ghostcrawler Ghostcrawler!!” the hunchbacked Igor cries entering the dark crypt of the Systems Design Lab. “What is it my minion… Have you brought me my gin in a coffee mug?”, mutters the Ghostcrawler, obviously annoyed at this intrusion.

Igor shuffles around nervously “Umm no your great crabbiness… The players are desiring, nay, demanding a vanilla server!”

“DEMAND! They dare demand of ME the almighty crab! … well,” Ghostcrawler chuckles thoughtfully, “Let us give them what they demand shall we.”

Igor cowers in fear at his masters devilish grin.

Ahhh badges, who’d have thought that something intended to make getting upgrades easier would cause so much drama and whining eh?

*Adopts Freudian voice*

Ah-ah-ahem. Now I Doctor Rupert Charles Von Necrallion have some volunteers who wish to share their complaints of said badges and said upgrades. You shall analyse these statements with me to determine how much of their view is legitimate concern and how much is the gum flapping of bruised prides.

How to: Not apply to a raiding Guild

ButterknifeFor some guilds, all you need to do to get an invite is whisper someone and they’ll invite. For others… you have to apply. Now this apply may take many forms, for some its a simple forum written application, for some its an interview, for others its a dark ritual taking place late at night in the middle of the woods with people wearing black hoods and carrying serrated knives… Ok maybe not serrated knives, dinner knives most likely.

The general idea though remains the same and when applying to a guild there are some simple steps you can take to give yourself a better chance and some easy to make mistakes that’ll shoot yourself in the foot.
