Auchenai Crypt Walkthrough Online - Deathwing @ 8:03:24 EST Auchenai Crypt has much to offer. It is short, clean, and hosts one the most important story archs of the Horde. Yet, it remains the ugly darkling in Auchindoun... simply because no one knows exactly how to obtain these quests, or the secrets to defeating the mobs within. Yet armed with the right expertise, the Crypts is a rewarding encounter. It pulls are challening but fun, its bosses non-standard, and a whole run should take no longer than 40 minutes... Not to mention Quest rewards that are hardly all that bad and one of the best grinding trinkets in the game.
Next in line... the the Halls of Archindoun! |

New Poll - Deathwing @ 4:04:25 EST During the press release at the launch date of Burning Crusade, Blizzard revealed that they plan to revisit the Starcraft game world very soon... and that it will be an online game. This leads many to speculate that World of Starcraft is in the works. However, would such a move really benefit Blizzard, when World of Warcraft already takes up over 50% of the market share? How many people would be dedicated enough to subscribe to two MMORPGs? And will Blizzard simply be stealing customers from themselves? So this week's poll, you tell us. If both MMORPGs were available, which one would you play? And will you play both? Be sure to vote! |

Poll Results - Deathwing @ 4:00:38 EST It's the weekend, and time for a new poll. So without delay, here's the results to the previous one:
Looks like levelling to 70 is by far the most popular option... which comes as no surprise. However, it is interesting to note that nearly everyone prefers the Blood Elves over the bulky Draenei. Looks like pretty races prevail, and these additional races may indeed balance the numbers between Horde and Alliance! As for the 30% of you without Burning Crusade.. get it! | |||||||||||||||||||||||
