For the Alliance! Wait, what?

For the past eight years, since I came back to World of Warcraft, I have been a dedicated Horde player.

When I re-subscribed I immediately sought out a guild, the sister guild of the old Alliance guild I’d started off WoW in during the middle 6 months of 2006 (Gnome Warlock!). I’ve been a member there now for just over 8 years, and been a member, raider, guild leader, ex-member for a week (long story), guild leader again, and for the most part, a raid leader too.

That guild is Thunder and since Feb/March 2009 I never looked back.

Sar Crux is no more, either as a twitter handle or a domain name...

Yes the domain, sarcrux.com will still point here, but that will eventually expire, so try to update your bookmarks before that! :)

So after a holiday that couldn't have been timed any worse, raiding has begun!

After the launch of Legion I took 8 days off of work in order to get levelled and get some sort of progress on gearing ahead of raids, because 2 weeks into Legion being live I was due to go on holiday for 10 days!

/facepalm

In fairness though, it was booked long before Legion's launch date was announced, so I blame Blizzard... Read more →

After quite an epic and longer-ish levelling experience, how did Legion's levelling experience hold up?

As you can probably tell, given the lack of recent articles, I've been somewhat busy playing a particular game since August 30th...

Yep, Legion has launched and has been out now for about 10 days so far. By now most of us will have levelled at least one character to the 110 level cap, and seen a fair amount of the levelling content in doing so.

Blizzard took a fairly novel approach to levelling in Legion, introducing the scaling tech that it's been toying with since Mists to the levelling process. This meant that no matter where you went in Broken Isles, with the exception of the endgame specific Suramar zone, you were always faced with mobs and quests appropriate to your level. Read more →
