Check out a column called Play Evolution, by James Lantz. He write about "The Evolution of World of Warcraft". Basically he covers the many games within World of Warcraft. Things such as the exploration game, where you explore "secret" areas and every corner of the maps. There's ways to have fun with the fishing and crafting professions and a lot more. Let's say: You are really lucky today! You find the right place.

Ron, a newswriter for Gaming Today (part of filefront.com) have shared his take on it all. He's calling the article "Don't Worry, Blizzard Isn't Dumbing Down World of Warcraft". Judging from the forum posts I have seen, one of the more controversial changes coming in the 2.4 patch is the removal of attunements for the Mount Hyjal and Black Temple 25-man raid instances, and the introduction of gear that can be purchased with Badges of Justice that is on par with Hyjal/Black Temple drops. At first glance, the non-MMO player would wonder why this, of all things, would be a point of contention. Personally, I wonder what mindset makes players think this is a bad idea.

Recently the Curse.com team has had the privilege of bringing on a new member, Zyuu, who has an incredible amount of experience with World of Warcraft -- especially the Paladin class. We were very excited to hear that he wanted to share some of that experience with everyone, and we gladly published his Holy Paladin Guide here on Curse.

Be careful who you frag. Having eliminated all terrorism in the real world, the U.S. intelligence community is working to develop software that will detect violent extremists infiltrating World of Warcraft and other massive multiplayer games, according to a data-mining report from the Director of National Intelligence.

Yesterday (or today, depends how you look at it) Vis Maior killed the first three bosses in Sunwell; Kalecgos, Brutallus and Felmyst. They spent a considerable amount of time exploring and clearing the area after Felmyst.

New miniature game based of World of Warcraft is coming to a store near you (eventually). Personally I'm not sure what to think of all these games, but if I were younger I would probably love it.

Rejoice, O ye demonologists. No matter what else might be wrong with Age of Conan, a grievance that has been endured since Beta is now no longer to plague you. Yes, it has finally happened: the weirdly smooth-skinned succubus now has nipples. We can't show them to you for obvious reasons, but we assure you they are there. Moreover, female demonologists can now summon succubi, too! A new spell, Forced Summoning, allows the demonologist to force their summoned pet to match their own gender.

The best gear for any given stage of the game isn't guaranteed to be what you'd like to wear, appearance-wise. You either have to compromise your character's looks or their abilities.
