Zygors Guide To Leveling Review

You gotta face the facts: Leveling fast is important sometimes and it can also be a pain in the butt. Maybe not always, but there are times when you just wanna get the task OVER so you can get ON WITH IT ALREADY!!

That's where Zygor's guide to leveling comes in. It's an addon program that's easy to install and integrates seamlessly with the game. It's the ONLY guide that works with both Alliance and Horde and it gets updated whenever anything major is added, such as the Cataclysm expansion (LOT of changes in that one!).

The features are solid and include having customized way-point arrows that will work in any zones, plus in-game guide viewer and talent advisor, auto quest tracker, and much more! Works with carbonite, recruit a friend and heirloom items too! It seems intuitive as well and will adjust if you level too quickly.

As a bonus the package also comes with free lifetime updates, and other WoW guides, such as inscription profession leveling, food and drink stats, death knight class guide and a bunch more. It's a lot of stuff!!

There are also some short strategy tips to check out on this page.

See you in the game!!

The Cinematic Art of World of Warcraft: The Wrath of the Lich King

The book The Cinematic Art of World of Warcraft: The Wrath of the Lich King is yet another piece that adds to my constant amazement of the community that surrounds the Wolrd of Warcraft. I was poking around on Amazon.com to price out strategy guides for the most recent release, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. I was curious to just see the cost of these guides. In my returned results was this book: The Cinematic Art of World of Warcraft.

In one of the reviews on the product, a designer and artist named Jon Huff picked up the book because he had an interest in the concept art. The CGI images are what piqued this gentleman's attention, and he did not play the game until after his book purchase!

Yet again, in these same testimonials a person named Lauren was not a player of the game and bought this book! Lauren's interest came from an aspiration of being a video game concept artist. Lauren really enjoyed the technical aspects of the book, from the sketches to the music, to some of the special photo quality prints included in the book.

The book seems to have really good customer reviews. Out of the six people who took the time to leave a review, four of them left a 5 star review. The other two left a 4 star review. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

Like I have said in the past, in this post and earlier posts, I am amazed by the ability of Blizzard Entertainment to draw people in with this game franchise. The sense of community can be an infectious draw for some, while exciting game-play may be the appeal to others. Yet another element is the amount of tireless dedication and pure love that goes into the artistic aspects of the game.

Welcome to Cataclysm

Exploring Cataclysm

Ok, we've covered that I really don't know anything about World of WarCraft, let alone the Cataclysm expansion. I really am a laymen in its purist form, at least when it comes to this game. That is part of the fun though, isn't it? Since Cataclysm is the newest addition to WoW, I feel that this is a good place to start. While it might seem like I'm in, in the middle of the story... it does help that all of the characters are new to me. All of the recent changes to World of WarCraft aren't necessarily "changes" to me. So why not, right?

Deathwing's Destructive Wake

The expansion's storyline unfolds centered around the leader of the black dragonflight, Deathwing, who is also known as "The Destroyer." Deathwing is but one of five Dragon Aspects in the World of WarCraft, and was formally known as Neltharion the Earth-Warder. Most recently Deathwing has risen from presumed death, and wreaked havoc across the surface realm of the world. This is the very same world where the majority of game play takes place and is called Azeroth. The scorched, molten, and reshaped face of Azeroth is now the setting of the new WoW expansion.

Welcome to The Worgen of Gilneas

Hello and thanks for stopping by!

I have created this blog to explore the World of WarCraft (by Blizzard Entertainment). I have never played this game, and will not claim to know anything about it. I am familiar with the recent release of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, and am simply fascinated by it. Not just by Cataclysm, but the WoW franchise and following in general. I'll get into that in a moment.

Teach Me About The World of WarCraft!

If there is one thing that I DO KNOW about WoW, it is that it has one the most dedicated fan bases in the video game realm. I do not want to insult anyone out there with a false front as to the knowledge that I do have about the game. Just as important, I would like to invite any and all who stumble across this site to correct any information I have that is incorrect.

 I appreciate the spirit and the community that is fostered through World of WarCraft. I invite anyone who would like to give any input about the game to comment on this blog, or even write up a full blog post. You guys have the knowledge and the passion, so I formally invite all to contribute and be accredited for participation in this blog. Thank you in advance should you choose comment or create a post!

Why The Worgen of Gilneas?

Well, that's a good question. To be honest, I was originally going to go for "World of WarCraft." I should have known before I even looked that that name would have been taken a long time ago. Then I was going to go for "Cataclysm" and then "WoW Cataclysm." Both were taken as well. So I went online, and just got engrossed in reading about the game. I came across a piece speaking to the new additions to the game (Cataclysm expansion), and found myself asking: what is a "Worgen?" I went to the official WoW website and read:

The Worgen are a race of feral wolf-beasts whose very name inspires fear. Theories regarding their history abound, yet the worgen's origins remain steeped in mystery.

Tell me that's not cool! I read on... the more I found about them, the more I thought to myself that if I were to start playing World of WarCraft, that I would probably choose them from the two new playable races. Of those choices, I liked both, but the Worgen really seemed the coolest. With that said, you now have the reasoning behind this blog's name.

WoW Examined

I'll close with the future intent of simply exploring what World of WarCraft is. What I mean by that is that I will try to make each subsequent post on this blog an update of what I have recently discovered relating to WoW. I assume most of it will be about Cataclysm (due to it's recent release), but who knows? So whether you're for the Alliance or the Horde, thanks again for stopping by and please drop me a line!
