I guess it doesn’t bend that way!

I dunno what happened with the site, but I am aware that there is a problem. I’m looking into it. Unfortunately, my web prowess seems to have peaked around 1999 so if I end up replacing it with a Geocities look-alike with animated gifs proclaiming we’re under construction, well, you’ll know why.

Things in the works: more beta streaming and commentary from Ais, a post about warrior tanking for heroics and 10 mans, and a post about the evolution of a feminist gamer. Good stuff, we hope!

If anyone can offer me assistance, feel free to hit me up on the Twitter: @MetaneiraB. Until then, I’ll be randomly poking at buttons until I either fix the site or produce the entire works of Shakespeare.

Edit – Fixed! Another problem solved by my own ingenuity and hard work, and not at all by pure luck.

Raiding Guide: Updated!

Howdy, mages! Working on a couple of projects right now but I managed to (finally) update the raiding guide for 3.3.3! A lot of the “base” specs changed (arcane and frost), and I expanded upon the arcane spell rotation guide and added information about how the tier ten set bonuses affect your rotations. (Yes, even for you, frost mages! Turns out there was quite a few things that needed updating for you.) 10% buff went into effect last night, so make sure your specs and rotations are tweaked and get ready to be beaten on the meters by melee who never have to switch targets! Whoo!

Ais and I are keeping busy in-game: she’s been scheming with another mage friend of ours on how best to do the achievement which I shall not name, and we’ve both been leveling lowbie alts with a good friend’s new prot warrior: she has a warlock (I know, blasphemy) and I’m becoming quite attached to my dwarf hunter (shutup, “Find Treasure” is an amazing racial). Life is good in Azeroth, and in the real world as well: spring is here! I might actually spend time outside again. ;)

And if any of you are leveling up lowbie alts and see a struggling mage, feel free to point him or her to our site for the leveling guide. I’ll be tweaking it in the next few days to suit mages who are leveling through LFD as often as possible, so keep an eye out for that. Thanks!

You are bad toys! Very bad!

Okay, so maybe making an XT reference when we launched the new site wasn’t the smartest plan. Got some crazy wonkiness going on with WP and I’m not sure why. Anyway, we’re back up for the nonce, though it’ll be a bit yet before we get it back to where it was. Thanks for your patience.
