Presenting wow addon updater software

June 17th, 2009 by mischief
Respond

Most World of Warcraft players I know use a lot of addons. I myself use probably around 20 or more, and I’m not likely to use any less anytime soon even though I try to keep it down to a minimum. :P Making sure that all of the addons are updated can be tiresome if it wasn’t for software that can handle this. There are currently a few around that do everything from a decent to a good job and you can read all about them if you read on!

Newsflash – Mounts from level 20 and up!

June 11th, 2009 by mischief
Respond

A somewhat surprising bit of news popped up from Zarhym today stating that there will be changes to mounts in the upcoming 3.2 content patch.

In the next major content patch, we intend to adjust mount requirements to further improve the leveling experience in World of Warcraft. In addition, cast times for summoning all mounts will be reduced to 1.5 seconds, down from 3 seconds. The following is a breakdown of the upcoming cost and level requirement changes we are making for each riding skill.

Read on for the full details. :)

The 3.0.8 is “finally” here. I say “finally” since I’m playing a hunter as a main, and we are getting nerfed quite a lot. There’s some good stuff in here though for other classes, and some good changes and improvements overall, so head on in for the whole story! [Read more →]

SexyMap – Pimping your minimap to new heights

January 19th, 2009 by mischief
Respond

Awesome bordersI’ve always had my trusty minimap up in the upper right corner, often cluttered with addon icons. That is, until a month ago when I was installing my new computer and decided to install WoW all over again. Piece by piece, and addon by addon. I decided to do some serious browsing on the addon scene to see what’s new and hot, and came over an addon called SexyMap amongst others. Read on for all the info on this hot addon.

Earning gold in World of Warcraft – A look at addons that help you get rich

December 9th, 2008 by mischief
Respond

As a long time player of WoW I’ve learned that making money can be a tedious task. There are tools to help you minimize the time spent on working the auction house, though, that rather lets you go out there and farm and such. I’ll go over some of the addons I’ve looked at and try to give an overview for you guys and I’ll give some tips on how to increase your average profit each week. [Read more →]

Factionizer – Highway to exalted

October 17th, 2008 by mischief
Respond

Ok, so maybe the title lies a bit. This addon won’t get you exalted with the blink of an eye, but it will give you a lot of information you’d have to browse the web for and more. I’m sure many like me have wondered what you need to grind to get to a certain faction level. What items can I hand in for faction, or what mobs do I have to kill? Can I kill these mobs and gain honour past friendly? Read on for the full details about this nifty addon. [Read more →]

WoW addons weekly news III

August 19th, 2008 by mischief
Respond

I guess I should really call this the “WoW addons not-really-weekly-but-every-now-and-then new” column. It’s been summer and I’ve basically had a WoW break, as so many others. There’s this summertime blues thing going with World of Warcraft now and it’s not only due to summertime, but also the expansion being so far out. I’m guessing we’ll see it close to x-mas. By the looks of it, it will be awesome, but I wish they could have gotten it done a lot sooner as only a few hardcore guilds on my server are still able to keep things together. Anyway, read on for the latest news on the addon scene!

WoW addons weekly news II

June 19th, 2008 by mischief
Respond

Time flies, and it’s been more than a week since my last weekly update on wow addons. I’ll make an effort to try and make these posts more often, but no promises. ;) This weeks update will include an update on sRaidFrames, a new major version of Cartographer, and some other tidbits. Addon development has slowed down a lot lately, so there’s not so much to report as I had hoped, sadly.
