Know Your Lore

World of Warcraft Calendar

A while back I bought this daily World of Warcraft calendar. Its pretty sweet! besides the basic things you would expect on a calendar, this boasts a daily "lore" question dealing with the back story of the game. Each day I try to guess at the answer, and more often than not I will get the answer wrong. I'm just not that big of a lore guy!

So this calendar really got me thinking. I have no clue as to "Who is Garona's uncle?", but I might be able to figure out my lore and back story in real life. It would probably be a whole lot easier figuring out who I am related to than finding a fictional space goat's uncle.

"Well Elder Cabral, could you give us some pro tips to find people in our family?"

Of course I could!

Yells and Whispers

RL Gnome and Tauren /Yell

I really enjoy the chat interface that is given in WoW. There are of course different channels that you can be in and read what players are saying. Probably the most packed and trolled channel is trade chat, but of course there are the guild, raid, bg, zone defense, and other general channels. Two of the "channels" that I wanted to focus a little more about would be whispers and yells.

A yell functions much like a yell IRL. It pops up as red text and everyone around you gets to see it. On the other hand a chat whisper is a lot quieter...

Rested XP IRL

Do you see that purple leveling bar at the bottom of your (WoW) screen? Do you wish that it would go faster, and you could level quicker than normal? This might blow your mind, but if you logout in an inn or a major city that purple bar becomes blue! The blue bar means you gain more xp from questing and killing mobs!

Rested xp makes a lot of sense to me...
