Midsummer Fire Festival
Posted by: | Comments
Its amazing how time flies in the good old World of Warcraft. the midsummer fire festival is here again!
The festival is a great time to jump back into WoW and relight that old flame every WoW player has. This year players can take part in the usual stuff which includes players collecting Burning Blossoms awarded by completing various quests in order to purchase Fire Festival-related merchandise, ranging from food to the coveted Brazier of Dancing Flames. /dance to that :p
The major addition this year is Ahune, the Frost Lord. He is a new special level 70 boss which can be summoned from within the Slave Pens dungeon. Killing him will result in several epic drops including event exclusive pets.
I’ve dropped off playing WoW again recently, this looks like a good time to jump back on the old WoW Train.

NetEase to Take Over World of Warcraft in China
Posted by: | Comments
A Chinese Internet company by the name of NetEase will be taking over the operation contact for WoW in china once The9’s contract expires in June this year. This was not exactly a shock given NetEase already holds the rights to run Battle.net in China. The big question is what will this do for our Asian friends playing WoW? They are still waiting on Wrath to drop due to various problems. Maybe NetEase can push forward to Chinese launch of Wrath. Who knows, only time will tell.
Talent Bug – 3.1 Talent Window Problems
Posted by: | Comments3.1 has brought many good changes to WoW nobody can honestly deny that. However there is one small yet extremely irritating problem I have come across. My talent window is broken. My level 71 Mage current has 9 talent points in total according to my talent window. My talents are not broken but this graphic glitch prevents me from spending my points. I have all the talent related skills from the base of my fire tree yet this is what my actual talent window looks like:
So given this problem I moved to contact in game customer support. They replied with this message (after the break).
Auctioneer Guide – What is Auctioneer?
Posted by: | Comments
I’ve been using Auctioneer for months and months, well over a year now. Without any shadow of a doubt this add-on is the most popular in WoW. I can’t really think of anything else that so many players use on the sheer scale of Auctioneer. But what exactly is it used for? How can you use Auctioneer to make fairly large sums of gold?
Think of this post as a type of mini guide giving tips on how the add-on can be used. I’m not going to try and write a complete article outlining everything there is to know about Auctionner as I simply don’t know everything! The beauty of this mod is you can use it in so many ways to make money it would be almost impossible to note them all down. Please continue reading if your looking Auctioneer information!
Problems With Our Host
Posted by: | CommentsOur host keeps performing updates to their servers. To do this most of the time they restart the servers in question.
However this has a slight side effect for WarAnvil. It causes our TeamSpeak to stop running. We have to manually restart the server. If you notice the TeamSpeak server is offline then please email us (use the contact page) and we should be able to fix it within a few minutes.
With some luck this will settle down once our host has finished doing whatever they are doing!
TeamSpeak Back Up
Posted by: | CommentsAround 10 minuets ago 23:02 GTM our TeamSpeak went offline for routine maintenance.
The server is back up and running now.

3.1 Patch Notes
Posted by: | CommentsHere we go, the full list of 3.1 patch changes can be found after the break. Enjoy!
General
- All Ground Mounts may now swim without dismounting the rider. Flying Mounts still may NOT, and will dismount the rider upon entering water.
- Ulduar is now available for limited testing. Please visit the Public Test Realms for more details. http://forums.wow-europe.com/board.html?forumId=11095&sid=1
- Players level 40 and higher will now be able to visit their trainer to pay a one-time fee and access the dual talent specialization feature.
- The achievement Brew of the Year has been removed from the Brewmaster meta-achievement. The achievement Brew of the Month has been added in its place.

- Copied Test Realm characters will no longer be copied with their achievement history in order to better facilitate the character copy process.
Starting All Over Again – For Arena Action!
Posted by: | Comments
I’ll admit it, I’ve never played an arena match ever! I know this is quite shocking to most people reading this, but the simple fact of the matter was, I simply was not interested in PvP. For a long time I had been a stern die hard PvE player. My reasons behind this stem from a lot of my past experiences. I played eq2 for a few years at the highest level of raiding, admittedly I’ve not played wow at that same level, but I still know all the dungeons inside out. I’ve always tanked too. Sure I’ve had alts which I’ve messed with and in some cases I’ve even claimed to be changing my main over to them. In the end I always come rolling back to Grim and his Warrior buddies to tank yet another instance!
But what if I look at this from a totally new perspectiveve? What if I simply strip all my characters of everything they own and send it all to one of my alts and make him my full time main no questions asked?
I want to get into competitive PvP as its the last thing left for me in WoW, so to speak. These are my alts:
- 70 Paladin
- 65 Warlock
- 54 Mage
The rest range from level 1-10 so are not really worth mentioning, oh and I forgot the obligatory Death Knight.
I went with the Mage I’ll discuss why are the split.
ESL Global Arena Finals
Posted by: | CommentsI’m not going to say much here, but take a look at this Mage. This has to be the best performance I have ever seen by one player on the arena tournament circuit.
